Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #17

Oooh, stamp direct to background sketch this week at the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! I flipped the sketch for my card : ) Taking a break from Christmas cards this week! Here's what I came up with.

I love this color combo, one of my favorites! I stamped the background in VersaMagic Tea Leaves using the Musical Backgrounds set by Waltzingmouse Stamps. I distressed the edges a bit with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet.

I used the label from the Afternoon Tea set and just masked the centre, I love the shape!  I stamped it twice, once in pink and once in green and layered them. The sentiment is from the Sweethearts set by Waltzingmouse Stamps. I added a little tulle and Prima flower.

I pleated the ribbon and stitched on the sewing machine, I love the texture this brings to a card. I used foam pads to layer the sentiment too.

As always we have a fabulous and diverse selection of cards from the DT, pop over and grab some inspiration at the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge blog!!
