Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 81 and Tuesday Trigger

Yay it's the weekend! My week wasn't that great so I hope the weekend will be better. Underworld 4 is showing in the theaters, so I'm excited to see it. I just love vampire/werewolf movies. :) 

So anyway, it's Saturday, so that means it's time for Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 81. Here's our sketch for the week. I'm also pairing it up with another challenge over at Moxie Fab World, Tuesday Trigger: Winter Blossoms.


The sketch this week is pretty simple. And yet, as always, it is always up to your imagination. I really love the neutral colors in the Tuesday Trigger inspirational photo. So I picked up the colors and the "design" and incorporated it into the sketch.


These doily stamps (Dainty Doilies - Large Set) sort of reminded me of the pom poms in the inspiration photo that's why I used them to make a background for my card. And as you can see, I tried to use similar neutral colors for it as well. I LOVE anything neutral! 


I heat embossed my sentiment on a strip of vellum and inked it with distress ink so that the sentiment would be more visible over the busy background. I just attached it using some staples. For the main image, I used this silhouette from Cameo Creations. The background for the label and also the sentiment came from Back in the Saddle.


Ok...that's it for me today. I'm going to try a 3D project for my niece this weekend...I'll make sure to take pictures and show you! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by today!
