WMSC7 A Second Attempt

I decided I wanted to have a second attempt at the Waltzing Mouse sketch - mainly cos I fell in love with the pretty blooms I'd created on my page and the pretty papers and I simply wasn't ready to put them away yet. Warning then - this may not be the last time you see them today!

OMG! I just went to make a cuppa while my photos uploaded and I've found another fab idea - you will have to check back to see it in my next post cos I haven't quite made it yet!

This time I didn't turn the sketch or manipulate it in any way, shape or form. I stuck with the programme!

I knew exactly what I wanted to do and for me THIS is CAS. Sherry - I tried honest! If I have to do more CAS than this I just can't bring myself to do it - seriously! You don't know how tempted I was to add another flower or dots or swirls! (Actually I think it could with stand some black swirled gems 'cept I don't got any). Even so with a bit of stamping, some quick die-cutting, a quick whizz around on the sewing machine (I can drive that baby like a Formula One race car when I need to) and finally some inking this card came together in a matter of minutes - for real. Obviously it helped that everything was still out and it took all of a few seconds to set up the machine but I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Just like the picture in my head :-)

It took me longer to photograph the darn thing would you believe? My card kept looking like things were crooked - but they aren't - honest! I guess I don't do so well with angles when I photograph but I like something other than just head on.

Therefore since I simply can't make up my mind I'm doing a 'Lauren Meader' LOL! That girly gives you a shot, then another shot, and another, and another..... You get the picture! (HUH! funny LOL! You get the picture!!! - well I thought it was funny after I'd typed it! LOL!)

Oh man! - I can tell I'm in a funny kind of 'me' mood today :-)

And just to show one more picture here's a shot featuring the details. See the element of three? I got to lookin at my page and figured I could easily do three leaves which is how this card came about. I just love Claire's stamps - really I do and all the 'rescue remedies' are FAB but my mind boggles how I can go a bit 'ga ga' over the smallest, simplest stamps in the set!

WMS Ladies - I couldn't see anywhere that said you could only enter once so I hope since my first was a scrap booking page and my second a card that it's ok. If not then I guess you'll have to decide which cos I can't choose between em' LOL!
