Welcome everyone! I'm so excited to share my card today.....using some Waltzingmouse Stamps! It's Waltzingmouse Blog Party time!!
I am very blessed to have so many things in my life......stamping friends amongst them. It's because of the generosity of a stamping friend, I added a few sets to my WMS collection! Thank you Joan!
I've kind of done a two-fer here and also played along with the sketch challenge! I used the Big Blooms Chrysanthemums for my focal point of the sketch and a cute little sentiment from Teeny Trees. I knew the minute I got this set that I would use my Distress Inks on this gorgeous flower. Seriously, I've mentioned before that I LOVE this technique!
To frame my flowers, I added a simple scoring detail.
Here is the sketch for this week that my card was inspired by................
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the Blog Hop!
