Fussy & Fancy..

...for this week's Waltzingmouse sketch Challenge! This week's sketch is a fab design by Renee Lynch, and it was just the thing to get my poor mojo going, as it has been sadly lacking of late!




Coupled with this fab sketch, I have taken inspiration from this week's colourQ, which would like us to use the following colours:


So, I pulled out my new Waltzingmouse goodies, and spent a couple of hours this afternoon tinkering with this:




The gorgeous pattern was created using two pattern strips from the newly released French Country, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and coloured with Promarkers in Pear Green, Salmon Pink and Baby Pink.



I then cut to size the panel, and mounted it onto some green cor'dinations card, the nearest colour I had to Certainly Celery, although I know it's a bit deeper than the graphic, it's all I had in my stash.


I wrapped some Baby Pink seam binding around the middle, and added a little bow with a green button and twine bow to the top.

I then stamped the small label from the newly released Very Vintage labels 25, and coloured in the edges of two with a Promarker.

Then, I stamped the little flowers from French Country, coloured with Promarkers, and mounted onto the card. Finally stamped the sentiment in distress Ink Peeled Paint, added to the card, and finished off the petal point edge with some pale pink gems.

I love the decorative look to this card, the patterned panels are so versatile, I have about 10 ideas I now wish to create!
