PDCC 90, WMSC

Hi all, today i have a card to share for a coule of my favourite challenges, Waltzingmouse sketch Challenge and The Play Date Cafe. This week the Cafe want us to use some gorgeous colours, and I just had to get creating!

Below are the inspiration pics:





And here is my take:




Now, I hope the image fits this sketch, and that the Mischief Makers don't think I have taken a liberty, but the pumpkin stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps Peace and Plenty set just popped out at me to use for this sketch.

The image has been coloured with Promarkers, and I have added a frame around it from Fram-it! stamp set, then cut out using a Go-Kreate die.



As you can see I have made a teacher card for my son's teacher - he's really going to miss her, and she has done such a fabulous job with all the children.




I have used Coredinations cardstock in Fuschia, a deep aubergine and burnt orange colours - sorry these are scraps and the labels were cut off!

I embossed the orange panel with a folder by Indentz, and sanded back to reveal the paler core.
Then stitched this to a distressed piece of aubergine card. Then I layered this panel onto the fuschia card which had been stitched around the edge and distressed.



Inside I have stamped the sentiment from Frame it and Teeny Trees, love this font style!



Before adhering all together I went rount the image panel with Milled Lavender and Dusty Concorde distress inks, and the kraft card base with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain.

Finally added some teeny butterflies and gems in the colours of the coredinations, and i just love it! I may make another like this for my daughter's teacher, just one more to do!

I have just noticed that the border is wider on the left than on the right - and I noticed this on my last card and i think it may have something to do with the fact I am left handed lol! I need to aim more to the left when mounting my panels!!

Have a great weekend!
