Hi there! Do you have anything fun going on this weekend? I am planning a fun date night with my hubby :) He loves to go the movie theater so I am going to surprise him and take him to this awesome place called
iPic Theatre~the ultimate movie experience! Have you ever been? We haven't but I sure have heard nothing but great things so I am looking forward to it!
It's time for another
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge:
and here's my take on it:
What? No patterned paper? Nope, I challenged myself to create my own so I pulled out
Big Blooms - Chrysanthemums stamping both sizes of the solid blooms then adding the pretty leaf images from
Faux Fun Circles.
For color inspiration, I played along with this week's color challenge at
The Play Date Cafe. If you would like to see some wonderful inspiration, be sure to see what the PDCC DT created!
I hadn't made anything using this particular darling pennant image from
Bitty Banners as of yet, so I inked up both the polka dot and the plaid image so I did just that! A die template from
S5-028 Nested Pennants was used to cut/emboss each little pennant.
That's all I have to share today, so I hope you have enjoyed what I made and maybe feel inspired to play along! Please be sure to stop by the
Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge site for some amazing inspiration from the Mischief Makers and several other Waltzingmouse DT members :) I'll be back tomorrow with an all new
CR84FN challenge. Be Sweet :)
Supplies Used:
Stamps:
Waltzingmouse Bitty Banners,
Fancy Phrases,
Big Blooms - Chrysanthemums,
Faux Fun Circles
Die Templates and Machine:
Spellbinders™Shapeabilities® S5-028 Nested Pennants,
S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants,
GC-001 Grand Calibur

Love those gorgeous banners, Mona and the absolutely stunning way that you're able to sew zigzag! I always get tripped up at the corners..up, down, up down, which way to go? You've done a marevelous job with yours and I also love how the background paper is so subtley dry embossed. Looks fab! Glad to see you in the Cafe, my dear!
