Here's the current Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, and it's a dilly! Anya really tests the cardmaking mettle sometimes!
I had no idea where I was going with this one (and perhaps you can tell!) so I cut some strips, embossed some, chalked the Caged Bird Cuttlebug Embossing Folder birdcages and just kept going until I got something that resembled a card.
The sentiment and birdie are WMS stamps. I placed the sentiment under an epoxy label I picked up at the dollar store years ago. The decorative paper I used is the same vintage. I am making good on my New Year's resolution to use some of the stuff that's been neglected in my craft room. And look - not a gem or other extraneous bling to be seen! The simplicity of this card and the soft chalking just seemed to be opposed to further embellishment.
Give this sketch a whirl and see if you found it as challenging as I did!

Your description of your cardmaking process on this one cracked me up. All that...just keep going paid off. This is such a pretty card, love those images and you created a great card using WM, and your on-hand supplies. Great job.
What a fun take on the challenge, Charmaine! I love the springy colors you used and all of the different techniques you used!
Very lovely card. Nice colors. Love from Holland.
This is gorgeous Charmaine, my process is often much the same! Love the embossing and the sweet little bird so lovely in these sweet spring colours!
This makes me BELIEVE that spring will be right around the corner, Charmaine...((even if it's not true around here!))! Love how you used the Sewing Box birdie! He reminds me of the planes I see at the Jersey Shore in the summer, trailing long banner advertisements :) Glad he's flown the coop and is advertising spring!
Great colors and such a CUTE card!!
