WMS Blog Party & WMSC

 Hi all, I have a card for this week's WMSC, and an entry for this evening's WMS Blog party.

I've used a variety of Waltzingmouse Stamps, I'll pop back later and update, as I'm off out in a minute with the kids, and time is running away from me this week1

I have used Very Vintage Labels 10, and stamped the larger label in a purple chalk ink. Cut with Nestabilities Labels 10, and set aside. I then stamped 2 more labels, in S.U Certainly Celery ink using Very Vintage Labels 18, cut with Nestabilities and set aside.

I stamped the rose image from Roses in Bloom in Milled Lavender Distress ink to try my hand at the invisible lines technique. Maybe I should have tried an image that required less shading, as the first four (yes, four!) attempts ended up in the bin! I couldn't get the shading right, and I'm still not happy with the end result, but I ran out of time for a sixth attempt!

I cut some leaves using a Spellbinders die and some S.U Very Vanilla card stock, slightly distressed with Old Olive distress ink.

I used Certainly Celery card for the main base, embossed with PTI linen embossing plate.

The sentiment is from Compact Sentiments, stamped in Dusty Concorde ink.
The ruffled seam binding is from The Ribbon reel, and gems are from my stash.
Butterflies are an M.S punch using some scrap paper from a different project, it fitted nicely with my colour scheme.

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
