WMSC#122-Apple Blossom Seeds



I was in the mood to make a soft and pretty card today and so excited to see that that the sketch for Waltzingmouse stamps this week is just perfect for that type of card.  This week's sketch (WMSC#122) is by my very good friend and WM Mischief Maker Renee Lynch.  I hope you all checked out the inspiration cards made by the Mischief Makers this week.  If not, here's a link...lots of great ideas.
Here is Renee's sketch:

I have a new stamp to use today, a gift from my friend Jeanne Jachna, also a WM Mischief Maker and I have been waiting for the weekly sketch to have a shape similar to my new stamp so that I would have a good excuse to ink it up.  So, Apple Blossom Seeds it is for this week.
The Apple Blossom Seeds stamp is the most beautiful, intricate and delicate stamp I have ever used.  You can't see well from the picture, but the bottom portion is cut out and popped up for added dimension.  I think this stamp is beautiful enough without even having to color it and I have mounted it over a Spellbinder Labels Eight frame.  The patterned papers are by MME, Blush Collection with a little straight stitching and I was very excited to see that I had the perfect matching wrinkled ribbon to tie a fluffy bow.  I added a little gem to hold the bow together.    Make sure to check out all the other cards made using Renee's great sketch.  Here's a link.

What a beautiful card, in every way. You are right--this is the perfect image for this sketch, and your ribbon, patterned paper, and die cut all combine to make this a wonderful card.
