Thank You.

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year!!  This is my first card of the year 2013! I was so sad to hear that this is the last Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge...  Claire surely has new ideas for this new year, but I will miss this challenge... The first card I made and posted in my blog was a card for this challenge and since this day I've made a card for almost all the challenges! So this time I wanted to make a Thank You card for Claire and all the Waltzingmouse DT members who have made beautiful cards every weeks and have given us so much great inspiration!!! Thank You!!





For my card, I chose the sweet angel from the Earth Angel stamp set. The wings and the sentiment are made on vellum. I made a doily with my Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry die. The big wings are made with my Sizzix Layered Angel Wings die. The wings were distressed and I also put some crackle accents on them. You can also see a felt heart made with a Spellbinders die and the cute red tag is made with one the Fancy Tags Two die. One of the background is made with the Waltzingmouse Woodgrain set and the other one is with the Gingham & Co stamp set. I added different ribbons, lace, twine, a red button and a cute little tag with a heart from the Make Your Mark set.

Here's the great sketch made by Edna Morrisedie:

  19. My jaw seriously just hit the keyboard! I LOOOOOVE your Earth Angel card...with the super fantastic wing detail :)! This is so amazing! I love how she is holding the sentiment (on vellum, WOW!) and the touches of red are so stunning against the soft background colors. I will miss all of your beautiful sketch cards so much, but am sure you will continue to wow us with your WMS creations in the new year!

  30. Anne-Elise, I didn't know that WMS is cancelling their challenges. It's been ages since I played there because I do not have any of their stamps.

    This thank you card you made in their honor is super sweet! Happy New Year!

  39. I like this card, it's just gorgeous!
    And I also like the photos below! As for Christmas I would prefer the snow, but I can imagine you liked the warm sunny weather, because in Finland there will be snow for a long time in winter. Couldn't you send us some, because in Holland every day is grey and rainy....
