A Blingtastic Farewell...

Hi all, today I have a card for the very last Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge boo-hoo! I have been away over the New Year, and recovering from the Flu, so I didn't think I would get time to join in, but I set aside some time this morning to get creative.

I just had to participate in this last challenge, as I have loved this challenge from day one! I can remember joining in on the very first challenge - I was so inspired I made two cards, and couldn't choose between them, so posted them both.  You can see my very first WMSC entry HERE, a little trip down memory lane :-)

Here's the sketch, provided by Edna Morrisedie:


 I have made a Thank you card, for Claire and the Mischief Makers for all the fabulous inspiration over the last couple of years, Saturday Mornings will not be the same!

 I have used four stamp sets for this card - Camellia, Faux Fun, Dainty Doilies Large, and Rescue Remedies Additions.


I stamped the medium sized Camellia and leaves in Sahara Sand ink onto some Kraft Bazzill, and coloured with Staedtler Ergo soft pencils. I then trimmed out and adhered to a large doily stamped in Tuxedo Black.


I then stamped the lacy border from Faux Fun in Sahara Sand onto a kraft card base, and some small Camellias in Antique Linen. I then cut a fancy label, added the sentiment, and attached some black gingham ribbon and copious gems! As it's the last WMSC, I thought I would make it blingtastic!

Looking back through my posts for my first Waltzingmouse sketch, I came across many of my old entries - Lots of people are compiling their Top 5 of the year, so I'm going to compile my Top 5 Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Entries! (or maybe more!) so watch this space. If you're a fellow Waltzingmouse fan, what are your favourite WMSC entries you have created? I would love to see!

I woulld like to enter this into Stamptacular Sunday challenge, which wants a Doily on our creations.

I'll be back later with my compilation!

Oh a BEAUTIFUL camellia, Pauline! Your coloring gets me every time :)! Love how it's layered over the doily and the tone on tone edge detail is fab, too. The colors just POP! Thank you so much, Pauline, for sharing your creativity with all of us through the WMSC blog! I know you will have more stunning WMS things to show us in the New Year, though, so now I am happy again, see? :) :)!!
