Okay….so I am about 10 hours late posting, but I did it. Here is my sample for today’s sketch challenge at the Waltzingmouse Blog.
I started out by picking one of the gorgeous patterns of Cosmo Cricket’s Odds & Ends paper. The blue on top of the card was cut with a Grand Label 4 Nestabilities die and adhered to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the same paper (other side side). The bottom corners were rounded with the Corner Chomper and a border was sewn around the edges.
May Arts Gingham ribbon was tied around the blue layer before the layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half. The bow was topped with a heart cut out of burlap and a button.
A sentiment from Waltzingmouse Rescue Remedies Additions was stamped in Walnut Stain Distress ink on a piece of Natural White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Parisian Accents die. The center was sponged with Antique Linen and the edges with just a hint of Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. A decorative swirl from Fanciful Phrases was stamped on top and bottom of the sentiment with Antique Linen. Baby bling pearls and a pearl swirl from Want2Scrap finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have time to play with the sketch! It’s a fun one. Have a wonderful Saturday!
Hugs and smiles

Hello my friend! Amazing how you can make a simple card look so elegant! Guess that is why you are Number 1 at Splitcoast…and, by the way, I love to see that newsletter come in to my email! Your advice is always something that I can learn from. Love that Cosmo Cricket paper, your sponging around the sentiment and your addition of the burlap.
I received my prize in the mail yesterday…you are too generous my friend…I sat and played with these with a “smile” for an hour! Thank you bunches!
I like your CC paper choices. All of the textures look fab. 🙂
This is so cute and I really love the way you did the bow! Well done!
Wow this is beautiful, Beate! I love how you added that heart and the flourish in the bottom corner! Wonderful!!
Beate, your cards are always so lovely. I really like your layering. Glad to see you posting….I totally understand about migraines and them getting in the way of life.
