Hi everyone! I am multi-tasking today, combining the July Friends of WMS Blog Waltz with today's WMS sketch challenge!If you want to waltz along with us and you haven't yet linked up your project, head to this thread in the WMS Forum to link up your creation and view the other participants. There is also a thread for chatting about what you've seen and participating in our little contest! The DT members are each hiding an image on their cards. Keep track of their count and a correct guess could win you a stamp set of your choice!
Here is today's sketch:
And here is the card I created:
I took some liberties with this week's sketch, using it more for inspiration than a pattern. But that is what is so great about a sketch!The lantern and cloud images are from Asian Gardens Additions. The birthday sentiment is from Asian Gardens. I stamped my lanterns in shades of blue and green and strung them together with some blue baker's twine.
The sketch challenge will remain open until Thursday, 11:59 pm EST. You can link up your entry on the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Blog. Top Mice will be announced along with the new sketch next Saturday!Have fun waltzing! Don't forget to head back to the WMS Forum to chat and join the contest.
I hope you will join us! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteAnya, for me this is the most beautiful and adorable card made with claires stamps ever. I´m in love with those lanterns anyway and your card is the perfect way of using them. I have to ink them up, it´s been way to hot here to stamp but I hope I can create anything that is just a bit adorable as this. You should put it in a frame. Love love love it. :D
