WMSC #105

 Hi all, just getting in under the wire (again!) for this week's Waltzingmouse sketch Challenge! I was delighted to have been chosen as a Top Mouse at WMSC last week, thank so much ladies, it made my day!

With these last couple of weeks of school, we have had a variety of school related performances, sports days, concerts and a couple of music exams for good measure! So I do find I'm running out of time to take part in my favourite challenges (boo!)  I for one will be glad when the term finally finishes next Thursday!

Anyway, I have made a card for my daughter's teacher, in year 5.
I used a mix of stamp sets from Waltzingmouse, and followed the sketch down to a tee!



I have used Very Vanilla card as a base, and stamped the pretty pattern builder stamp from French country in Old Paper distress ink.


I then stamped the same pattern in a blue chalk ink from a little Papermania bundle of inks - they were in a stack pack, and none of the inks have a name! And the red is Memento Ladybug red.
I backed this onto some cadet blue bazzill.


I stamped the label from French Country in Tuxedo black, and stamped the small oval from the newly released My Island set in Brilliance Metallic Blue.
The sentiment is from Frame it! and My Island - Chillax is in the same font as the sentiments in the Frame it set, and I loved the idea of pairing them up, to wish her teacher a chillaxing time!

I then stamped twice in blue and twice in red the decorative banner from Bitty Banners, and trimmed the red starred edges out and layered them onto the blue banners.

Finally assemble the card together and added some red gems to the banner middles.

I would like to enter this into:
