It’s Saturday which means it’s time for another Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge as well as the Inspiration challenge on Splitcoast. This week I got to combine both because Stef picked a site I suggested as the inspiration site. When I went through my Pinterest craze, I found the English site Cox & Cox. For my sample I picked this gorgeous wooden hanging heart as my inspiration piece.
The card sketch is a simple one which worked great for what I had in mind. To invoke the painted wooden feel of the heart I brushed on Snowcap Adironback Paint dabber all over a 3 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Kraft cardstock. Once it dried I embossed it with Tim’s Damask Embossing Folder. The raised part of the embossing was sanded to let the Kraft cardstock show through.
The bottom corners of the layer were rounded before the edges were stitched. A piece of Solar White cardstock was cut and embossed with one of Spellbinders new Grommet Tag dies. A frame and sentiment from Waltzingmouse’s Fancy Phrases was stamped in it’s center with Frayed Burlap.
The sentiment tag was attached to the embossed layer with silk ribbon. The bow was topped with an EK success ribbon flower, I picked up at Target. The layer was adhered to a 3 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Solar White cardstock folded in half. The bottom corners were rounded again to finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have time to participate in one or both of the challenges! Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs and smiles

This is absolutely Gorgeous! I am going to have to CASE this one for sure!
Loved it so much I had to give it a try. However, mine doesn’t have that wood grain look that yours does. Still I love it! You can see it HERE.
Very beautiful technique, Beate, and a gorgeous card!
Just gorgeous Beate!! It’s been awhile my friend. Hugs Linda Duke
Oh my gosh! This is so pretty! Thanks for sharing beautiful technique, I must give it a try! 😎
Very nice card! I like the paint/ emboss/sanded look! I’m so used to applying white ink after i emboss, that it didn’t occur to me to paint the cardstock, emboss, then sand–are you too clever, or what? 🙂
So gorgeos and so beautiful technique!!!
Love it!!!
Elegant simplicity at its best! You created such a gorgeous background, Beate, which looks stunning with your pleated ribbon flower and new die. Love the pop of green.
die ist ja ein traum meine liebe
