I took my newest Waltzingmouse stamps out to play and made two cards this weekend.
The first card uses Playful Pinwheels, and is for this week's Retrosketches RS#23. I used some scraps of patterned paper (I think they are either Echo Park or My Minds Eye) and paper pieced the 4 sections of the pinwheel for the four elements of the focal point in the sketch. I used several sentiments from the set in alternating colors to make the piece behind the pinwheel.

My next card is for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge WMSC109, and I used North Shore and My Island, along with my brightest and sunniest card stock. I used several images from My Island to create a background on the card front and on the border.

These cards turned out so good! I love you WM card with the North Shore image...great idea and such a neat color! Your pinwheel card is such a happy card and the text paper was perfect with it. These must have been such fun to make Joyce!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, that pinwheel card is so sweet :) I love the bright colors, and the patterns you chose on the pinwheel itself. And the surfing card, I love the sunshiney colors, and how you stamped your own pattern in such a light color.
