Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge & CASE

Afternoon all, just a quick post in between out bear hunt and going and flying a kite!


Over at Waltzingmouse Claire is challenging us to CASE one of the beautiful creations by one of the DT. I was inspired by quite a few of the beautiful cards, the last card (Aloha) by Julia Aston was my main inspiration for my card. I loved the way she had popped the borders on to the bottom of the square and seeing as I have just bought a few border punches I decided this would be an excellent chance to use them! 


I also loved the 4 different coloured squares on the 2nd card by Anya Schrier so I decided to use 4 different colours for my borders. I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and since I was inspired by squares I wanted to use the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.


So, here is my multi-inspired card :



Firstly sorry for the poor photo, I really need to sort myself out! My dh would be appalled!

I've used the Half Pint Heroes set (using Tuxedo black memento ink and by masking the edges of the square), Square nestabilities, Fiskars wave border punch, Martha Stewart Grass punch, and I used a triangle punch to create the red border and a star punch to create the yellow one.

    Ohhhh SUCH a cute design! I love how the images almost look like little sketches that you drew, and then you added the perfect punches of color for each panel! Love how you did the sentiment!

    Golly what a fun card. And missy, I wish I could take a photo half as "bad" as you. Clear as. I just love the fab windows which have been stamped to perfection. Well done!
