Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #79

Off to a great start in 2012 with a fantastic new WMC sketch from Anya Schrier! You can find the link here! I thought I should try something totally different from all the recent Christmas reds and greens and went with yellow (one of my favorite colors) and aqua! The first thing I did was use the smallest pattern from Gingham and Co. and stamp Lemon Tart with Eucalyptus Amuse ink. Unfortunately the lace covered much of it up but it's a really pretty color. I love being able to create my own gingham patterns! The buttons are from an embossing folder set by Cuttlebug that I colored with a Copic marker.

It has turned cold and very windy here---winter may have arrived--knew all the mild weather couldn't last forever!!

Hope you are having a good week!

Thanks for stopping by,
Sharron

This is adorable, love the colors and those cute hearts.
Did you make your own embossing lines ? Well, I love that embossed background paper. I need to buy some of those stamps so I can play along. Im kinda hoping for colder temps. We bought a lot of oak wood to burn.

Love those buttons and that sentiment is just perfect!
Those colors just make me think Spring...
and we've had Spring weather around here...
but we're getting your cold tomorrow!
Possibly even the snow :)
I always love the first one...
but then I'm done!

I love all the textures you have on this card. The layout is great and also the color combo. I have some aqua and yellow pattern paper sitting on my desk 'waiting' to be used.
