With Love
Here's my card for the current Waltzingmouse Fanatics color challenge. I picked a few of the colors to include in my card instead of the whole 6 color palette. The result was this pretty love themed design.
I started out with a creamy tan panel with machine stitched edges. A half of a paper doily, left over from another project, was adhered to the left edge of the panel. I stamped a pair of hearts from the Waltzingmouse Stamps My Heart stamp set on white cardstock using coral and kraft inks, then cut them out. They're layered and attached over the doily. I love the woodgrain pattern on these hearts!
For the sentiment, I stamped the elegant "with love" sentiment from the Cameo to Go set in black pigment ink on a white fishtail flag strip and tucked it underneath the heart pair. A trio of white sequins adds a little sparkle. I think I spent more time playing around with the positioning of these three tiny sequins than I did putting together the rest of this card!
Be sure to check back here later on today for the winner of my Season's Givings blog candy . . .

So beautifully clean and simple, and oh so pretty! Thanks so much for playing along with Waltzingmouse Fanatics. Hope to see you again soon.
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud when I read that the placement of the sequins took longer than the rest of the card (quite perfect, I do believe). This card is pretty much perfection. Simple, interesting, elegant. Lovely job!
