Hi bloggers! Yay! It's finally the weekend. I made this post ahead of time because me and my husband are off to Washington DC to see the Cherry Blossom Festival. I'm excited to see it. I never have before. It's also a nice little break from work. I'll have pictures posted when I get back. :)
Let's get going with the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 90. We have a lovely sketch by Renee Lynch. I try to stay within the scope of the sketch as much as I can. But once in a while I like to play around with it. I'll show you what I mean. But first, here's Renee's sketch for this week's challenge.
So here's what I did with the sketch. I used an image from Florentine Frippery to flank my tag. I stamped it and heat embossed it so that it would stand out. Then I used a die from PTI to cut out the little blue panels and sewed them onto the patterned paper panel.
I added some crocheted lace and seam binding ribbon to make it a little bit more "frilly". :) I also added a key from Michael's to the knot. The floral ticket, I can't remember where I got it from exactly. I just know that I found it over at Pinterest. It was a free printable. I cut that out and adhered it on a tag. It's not too visible, but I actually stamped some of the flourish images from Paris Nouveau on the edges of the tag.
I also added this die cut from Ironworks Motifs by Spellbinders. Then I adhered the Webster's Pages silhouette/cameo over it.
I couldn't find links for the leaves. But they're from Recollections and they're distributed by Michael's. Then I attached the flowers over a portion of the leaves. They're from I am Roses.
I hope you liked my card for today. I thoroughly enjoy looking through submissions over at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. I might not be able to comment on everything, but I try to as much as I can. So I hope I'll see your work over there!
Thank you for stopping by today! I'll be back in a few days! Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteHubby was looking over my shoulder and said "Wow, that's a beautiful card." That is quite the compliment coming from him, let me tell you! Really gorgeous, Jean!
Thanks Christina! I know what you mean! When I ask my husband what he thinks of my cards...there's always a..."maybe you should....." lol! It drives me nuts! :)
DeleteGorgeous... love all the "diddies"!! Hope you're having fun at the festival. Definitly perfect weather (if it's not raining there!) My girls tap danced in the parade one year, lot's of fun but, really cold-30- and my oldest had an allergic reaction to the sweatshirt everyone wore!!
