I created this card for the recent Waltzingmouse sketch (wmsc60). I was inspired by Lynn’s Asian Garden card – see it here. I loved her image composition and the black & red colors.
To keep with the sketch I had to put my own spin on Lynn’s card. I did keep her stamp composition. I added kraft to the color palette (mostly because I didn’t like having black or red for that panel of the sketch). I also used vanilla ink to sponge the edges – to get a soft feel.
I really love the weave stamp that is part of this set and used it on the kraft panel. The rhinestones are colored with Copics. I am very disappointed that there isn’t a cherry color Copic! There is a red, but it is a bright red – nothing really darker…so strange.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Colors: Black, Kraft (PTI); Cherry (SU);

Ohh gorgeous use of Asian Gardens here! I love how you stamped the top! The tree looks amazing on the red with the white edges. Fabulous WMSC card!
Ooh, I love that one, Karen. So pretty!
Beautiful interpretation of this weeks sketch! I love the classic and elegant style! I’m so glad to see the weave stamping too! It’s such a great pattern! Thanks for playing along with us at WMS!
Absolutely gorgeous. I really like the rich, dramatic colours and the softness of the kraft and white border. Lovely!
