WMSC #123

Happy Saturday all! I'm here this morning with a card for this week's new Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. I was thrilled to find that I was a Top Mouse for my entry last week, so thank you ladies so much!

Here's the fun sketch, and I chose to make a Christmas card again! I'm so behind with them, so I better get a move on!

 I have used a card base of Crumb Cake, and stamped the wonderful Very Vintage Background in Versamark and Gold embossed - it's gorgeous!

I then made a mat from some Poppy parade, and distressed with inks and my Tim Holtz distressing tool. Then onto a smaller mat of the red card, I stamped some script from Text It, overlayed by some scrolls from Season's of Love.

I then stamped and gold embossed the tag frame from Very Vintage Christmas and cut out, removing the oval from the middle. Again, I inked around the edges of the tag in Pumice Stone Distress Ink. I then added a little Opera Tag, stamped with a sentiment from Candy Jar Fillers.

Finally, I added some beautiful Gold satin ribbon and some Button Twine from The Ribbon Reel, over some gorgeous ruffled lace that was a gift from my friend Helen.

I added some little blossoms, and some buttons, for a bit of extra interest.

House work is calling my name, thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
