PaperPlay Challenges & a Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge

Hi!! I have 2 cards to share with you today. The first is one I made for PaperPlay Challenges. We have a Sketch Challenge for you this week, with the added option of using new stash. 

My card is quite a loose intrepretation of the sketch and I did move elements around to suit my image, which is called Little Bird, and can be found HERE. The sentiments also come with the image.

My papers are Webster's Pages - I'm still having issues with covering up these beautiful papers!! lol. I used the MS Cornice punch to do the brown border and used some Prima packaging for the pale green border. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The daisy head pins and ribbon is from my stash.

I'm also entering this card into Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge which is Make it Sparkle

Next up is another entry into the Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge. The head Mouse-tress, Claire, has kindly offered up 2 sets of stamps for the random winner of this week's challenge :D

I am really pleased with this card. I love the sketch and I've used my all time favourite christmas papers, Figgy Pudding (still using up scraps!!), with a deep red and plain white cardstock. The sentiment is from Waltzing Mouse "Seasons of Love - Tags", which are nestie friendly too!!

I've added some Wild Orchid flowers that I've inked with Fired Brick distress ink. The sentiment has also been stamped and the background shaded using Fired Brick. I used my circle and scalloped circle nesties to make the card base and for the layering.  I've also added a white button threaded with red Scrapper's Floss and a beautiful MR crystal pin. The lace is from my stash - part of my great ebay bargain that I bought about 6mths ago & the red rhinestones are Kaisercraft!!

Thanks for popping by!! Be sure to visit my teamies to see their wonderful creations this week. Have a great day!
