Waltzingmouse Saturday Sketch - WMSC4

Please scroll down to see my Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge card on the post below this one!

Welcome to week 4 of the Waltzingmouse Saturday Sketch Chellenge! Be sure to check out who won from last week and the deets for this weeks challenge over at the challenge blog.

I thought this weeks sketch was kind of challenging - it seems pretty specific with all those circles doesn't it??
I really wanted to use my Asian Gardens stamp set for this challenge. At first I thought I would just stamp the Sakura flowers and have them all in a circle - but that ended up looking kind of 'blech' !!! LOL!

So I came up with the idea of using a large scallop circle nestability frame - making an outline circle by cutting a larger circle die with a smaller one inside. Then I stamped it with the background stamp in the set.

I used different size circle and oval punches for my images and sentiment. The ring and images are all popped up on foam dimensionals accept for the sentiment.

These pretty origami paper panels are thick like cloth. I used two different patterns for the panels on my card.
Here's what I stamped on the inside. This verse is from the Words of Wisdom set.

So check out the challenge blog - make your sketch card and get it posted on Mr. Linky by Thursday 7/1/10 at 11:59 pm EST. I can't wait to see what you create this week!

    That is one humdinger of a sketch!! I really like that you built the scallop frame in place of the circle elements, fantastic with the images in mono too!

    That really is a scary sketch - it probably would have had me running!!! You have done a wonderful job with it and made an incredible Asian themed card - both outside and inside!!!

    How beautiful - love how you created the frame & I'm really intrigued about the origami papers! After teaching 4th graders how to make origami cubes, the word origami tends to be a curse word in my vocabulary :) I think you may have changed my mind!
