WMSC #111

 Hi all, I have a card today for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.

Here's the sketch:



And here's my take:

 

 I have used some Very Vanilla card, and clear embossed the pretty doilies from Dainty Doilies Large set, before using the resist embossed technique with Milled Lavender Distress ink.

 I then embossed in white embossing powder the gorgeous heart from Seasons of Love, onto some purple card, and cut with my nesties.

 

I then cut a small oval in Very Vanilla, and stamped the sentiment from Fancy Phrases in some new Memento ink in Elderberry. I topped the heart with a natural and purple button twine bows, white paper rose and lilac blossoms all from The Ribbon Reel.
  

I layered the stamped panel onto some silver mirri card, wrapped some lilac lace and cream frogging ribbon around, and assembled all together. Finally I added some purple gems for a little sparkle.

I'm late again, but I've been away this week in the New Forest visiting my in-laws - my eldest daughter is on a Guides trip to Switzerland and is not back until Sunday, and my hubby was in San Fransico for work, and he returned yesterday and so did we. Whilst he was there, he hired a bike, (he's a keen cyclist) and fell off! Thankfully, nothing broken, but he has a nasty scrape from his knee to his ankle, and its still very sore. Men! I'm just hoping my daughter returns in one piece!

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:





Craft Your Passions - I've used 3 gems and 3 flowers, an 3 types of ribbon/twine

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
