WMSC54

Today I made a card for Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge #54.  Here is the sketch:

Interesting sketch, isn't it?   Now, what Waltzingmouse products do I have that will fit this sketch?   

Here is my card:                                                                              

Since I only have one set of Waltzingmouse stamps right now, (I have a bunch ordered, but none have arrived yet), I downloaded some of Waltzingmouse Digital Papers.  I used Victoriana Papers, which has a beautiful design with deep cranberry and kraft designs running through it.  Beautiful. 

I printed some of the Victoriana paper and used it for my card base.  I was able to make a very sturdy card since the paper was printed on heavy cardstock.  I added a layer of kraft, stamped it with a Think Big Favorite sentiment and impressed this layer with the Polka Dot impression plate from PTI.  I punched a few stars, ran them through the xyron and placed them right on top of some brown and white bakers twine.  A few rhinestones colored with copics finished the card. 

I am looking forward to receiving my new stamps as Waltzingmouse has some great challenges and Blog Waltzes that I am dying to play along with.  Thanks for taking a look!

Oh Cathy I love this card! The twine with the stars is wonderful! And I absolutely LOVE the bling on the sentiment. I am going to steal that idea. ;) Can't wait to see what you got with your new WMS order.

Cathy this is so simple and stunning!!! At first, I was wondering which CAC stamp you used and then I started reading your post.......lol Just beautiful. I bet having that pattern on both sides of the card base makes it exceptionally gorgeous!

Love this card. It can be used for so many different occasions--a great one to have in the card stash. It's on my list to case. I am interested to see what you get from Waltzingmouse, as I haven't yet started with them. I'm trembling in my boots, since I am a big copycat when it comes to your shopping list!

Oh, this is so so cute!! I love the paper - it's very pretty. I didn't know they had Digi papers. maybe I need to stop by there and see what else they may have that I have missed. :)

Awesome card. I love that you used the digital paper and jumped right in with the challenge while you are waiting for your stamps to arrive. Your design is great and I love the colors and textures in your project. Thanks for playing along with the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge.
