I have some very exciting news. Not only did I order me a few Waltzingmouse stamps, but I was also invited to become a Waltzingmouse Mischief Maker. I get to play with Claire’s sketches early. How fun is that? I love sketch challenges.
Today is my first official day as Mischief Maker. I used this sketch as my starting point to create my card for Thursday’s Way to Use it Challenge. We were to use Polka Dots on our card. A sketch and Polka Dots….through in Copic Markers and Spellbinders Dies and I am in heaven. 🙂
For my sample I picked the Stamp set Spring Baskets. I stamped first the Basket, then the Daffodils in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed the image with Classic Square Nestabilities dies and colored it with Copic Markers ((Bow: R20, R21, R22, Flowers: Y11, Y13, Y15, Leaves: YG01, YG03, YG17, Basket: E30, E31, E33, Background: BG0000, BG000, BG01, Ground: T0, T1, T3).
A piece of Kraft cardstock was cut into a frame with a Label 1 and a Classic Square Nestabilities die, sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink and adhered over the image. The image layer was paper pierced.
A 3″ x 4″ piece of yellow polka dotted Modern Homemaker October Afternoon paper was adhered to a 4″ square of pink Ducks in a Row paper. The layers were stitched to a 4 1/4″ white square of cardstock. A 4″ long strip of white cardstock was cut and embossed with the Lattice Borderabilities die and adhered to to the upper edge of the yellow paper.
A small hole was punched in the center of left edge of the image layer. The image was adhered to the layers with dimensionals and pink silk ribbon was threaded through the hole and tied into a bow.
The sentiment is also from Spring Baskets. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Solar White cardstock that had been cut and embossed with Petite Oval Nestabilities die. The center of the oval was colored with Copic Markers BG0000 and BG000. The sentiment was adhered to the layers with dimensionals and finished of with three tiny Recollections silver pearls. The layers were adhered to a 4 5/8″ x 9 1/4″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half.
After Wednesday’s tutorial was posted on Splitcaoststampers I had a lot of questions about how to cut a frame with Nestabilities. Because of that I created and posted a tutorial that day. So here is a video on creating frames with Nestabilities for the visual learner:
