I'm so glad I got this card completed before we leave, it's for the first Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge WMSC1. Go check it out for yourself Claire is happy for you to use any stamp but naturally she'd like to see some of hers if you have them. My card looks a little dark here ...... it is kinda...... but not dull!
Waltzingmouse Stamps Asian Gardens was my choice for this card, I've stamped a part of the branch with the bird in a cage. Base card is GKD pure luxury in pure white and I've used American Crafts card in maroon and chocolate chip. Spellbinders Scalloped and circle dies as well as the Fleur De Lis pendant die cut the layers. I've stamped the image in SU chocolate chop and Versacolor Maroon onto textured white card. Foam tabs pop up the last two layers.
The sentiment is stamped onto the wrong side of white satin ribbon, I've found this holds the ink without any bleeding. The ribbon is secured in place by a button. I've just removed the shank from this one that has been waiting for ages for just such a project!
Hope you like it........I hope Walshie likes it too..... I'm going to add it to my suitcase ready for his Birthday!
Thanks for dropping by today, take care all....... I'm off to get this case packed.......

ReplyDeleteGreat card Sue, I hope Ian enjoys his birthday, wish him Many Happy Returns from us. I have ordered good weather for when you get to the UK, very rainy and dull at the moment. Good luck with the packing.
