Hey Guess What? It's time for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge for this week. It's become my Saturday morning ritual to check the winners from last week and to see the new sketch inspiration! I don't know if you ever noticed but the sketches are inspired by Design Team members and sometimes the head mouse herself, Claire Brennon. Well the next series of sketches for the coming weeks are inspired by the Mischief Makers. And knock me over with a feather - the first one is inspired by .. YIKES!!!... ME!! I know... crazy right?
Well since I was the inspiration for this one I wanted to do something extra special! I made a French inspired thank you card from me to YOU with lots of embellishments. I started with some pretty paper from Pink Paislee and the rest fell into place on it's own. In the center of the bow is a crystal gem from Swarovski Crystal Elements. I like looking at all the pretty beads and such in the jewelry department of the craft store for pretty metal and glass embellishments. Even though jewelry isn't my latest obsession some of these beauties find their way into my basket!
Have a great day!
Hugs!
Jeanne

ReplyDeleteOoh la la Jeanne! Tres chic card! Love this Parisian theme, and the pretty papers, that lovely butterfly and sweet bow with its beaded centre, stunning card!
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely gorgeous! I love your papers and the beautiful embellishments.
ReplyDeleteI love how you post your pictures! I never really know what I'm looking at while I dig through the layers and layers of gorgeousness and then...the reveal where I go, "OHHHH WOW!!" It's so fun how you captivate the eye and all the senses with one close up shot, always the perfect bait to draw me in!
ReplyDeleteThis card is stunning Jeanne and I love the roll of ribbon you used on that bow up top..LOL..kidding! But I DO love the multi loops SO much. :)
Hey, hugs to you and Happy Weekend my friend.
Sorry it took forever to get over, I'm drowning in my own pile of cardstock at the moment..hee hee.

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card and I love all the layers. I also wanted to thank you for your advise yesterday. I was able to order that spellbinder die Can't wait to play with it.
ReplyDeleteLook at you, sketch artist now! Love your sketch Jeanne, I think the Eifel Tower looks perfect along side that great zig zag border and you added your signature bow and beautiful flowers with some lace too! Very pretty, guess I have to play this week just to see if I can do your great sketch justice.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant sketch and I was *this close* to using the Eiffel Tower this week, too! Amazing card!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful Jeanne! I love all the vintage elements.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Jeanne, so much to look at on this card! I love that the little pink silhouette is tucked in by the Eiffel tower :) And then the great big doily is awesome, too!
