Waltzingmouse 100th Sketch Challenge



This week, Waltzingmouse is celebrating their 100th sketch, and I am so glad to be able to participate.  I am gradually building up my collection of Waltzingmouse stamps, so each challenge gets a little bit easier for me as I have more stamps to choose from.  This week, I used stamps from Nordic Spring, a beautiful stamp set that I received as a gift from a Papertrey Forum friend from the UK, who I helped out as a shipping buddy.  To say that I was surprised and delighted when I opened her 'just a little something for your time' gift would be an understatement.  




There are many great prizes and so many inspirational ideas on the WM sketch challenge blog.  I hope you can check it out and play along.  The more entries they get, the more prizes there will be.  I hope to sneak one more card in, too.


Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Nordic Spring, Communique Sentiments
Paper:  PTI White, Simply Chartreuse, Winter Wisteria
Ink:  Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Winter Wisteria, VersaFine Onyx Black
Other:  button, twine, Deanna's dots

  1. I like how you made your own lace trim using the Nordic Spring set Joyce, and that is a great butterfly too. The Winter Wisteria and Simply Chartreuse color combination is a good one to go with the butterfly as it makes it really stand out and shine.

  2. Oh that must have been so exciting to receive that set as a, thank you gift. Sounds like two nice people! Your card is beautiful with all the pretty stamping. Its all looks so much like stitching. Love the color combo and the heart boarder. It sure is easier with more sets.
