Playing along with this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.
This week's sketch is based on Jean Martin's fabulous card HERE.
This week's sketch is based on Jean Martin's fabulous card HERE.
I used patterned papers from Echo Park's Very Merry 6 x 6 paper pad which is part of my new mandate to stop hoarding paper. I need lots and lots of luck with that. Now if I can just part with the card I would be well on my way to recovery.
Cardstock: Kraft (Papertrey Ink)
Patterned Paper: Very Merry 6 x 6 pad (Echo Park)
Stamps: 2011 Ornaments (Waltzingmouse)
Stamps: 2011 Ornaments (Waltzingmouse)
Ink: Real Red (Stampin' Up)
Dies: Labels 18 (Spellbinders) Half & Half (Papertrey Ink)
other: baker's twine (The Twinery), jingle bell
Simply beautiful! I love what you did with this sketch and the half and half dies. That ornament is just breath taking...love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous. Hats off to you for using some patterned paper. You chose great patterns to go together. I like that you have an ornament hanging over (on) a tree.
ReplyDeleteTracey this is simply gorgeous! I really like your banners and the pretty papers you used. The bell is such a festive touch .

ReplyDeleteI love how you put that rectangle layer over the banners...seems like a small touch, but it really adds to the card. Seriously! I love your take on the sketch Tracey! So glad you have started using WM...you have great ideas!
ReplyDeleteTracey this is gorgeous! I love the pretty papers, the fancy cut banners, and that clean looking ornament with the bell... heck what's not to love here? Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh wow GOOD LUCK! I'm trying to do the same and keep telling myself if I use this paper up I can buy more to fill that empty spot LOL! Very pretty Tracey, love this ornament.
ReplyDeleteLove the patterned paper (I can see why you would want to hoard it!) Great idea to use the half & half dies in place of the banners ~ a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI too, love these pretty papers! Fabulous ornament, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteI seem to have the same issues as you with the patterned paper/card thing...but you seem to have it handled. Great take on the sketch.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous take on this fabulous sketch!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the papers and colors...

And I'm resolving to use up half of my paper stash this coming year...
