WMSC107 - Mahalo

Happy Saturday and welcome to my weekly post for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.  Today's fun design is by Tosha Leyendekker.  This sketch is a great way to show case your favorite Waltzingmouse image, or stamp a one of a kind background.  I just got a few of the new releases that I ordered and couldn't wait to get some ink kissed on to them. I was originally going to go all blue - all boy on this one but I was inspired by a recent post from Deborah Frings called Surfer Girl.  Her card got me day dreaming about a tropical Paradise complete with fun in the sun and exotic flowers. 

The background paper is blush stamped with angel pink ink. Here is a close up so you can see the soft background.. 

I used burlap material and a cotton lace to add extra texture.  The button thread is from Waltzingmouse.  I was surprised how soft it is compared to other brands I've tried.  It is 100% Jute,  but it felt like lambs wool to me.  I added a tropical flower and a little sterling silver charm I picked out in the jewelry department at department store.   This is my  way of adding a small gift on to a card so the recipient can simply un-tie it and add it to a charm bracelet or a necklace. 

Thanks so much for having a look!  I hope this one got you daydreaming a little too!  Have a great week - I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!
