WALTZINGMOUSE SKETCH CHALLENGE 107

The other day took delivery of my new Spellbinder Dies that were just launched this week and could not wait to play with them. This card includes two of the new sets Asian Motifs and Venetian Motifs which are two beautiful sets to work.


As well as entering into the WMSC107 I have also entered it into the CR84FN59 challenge which inspired the colours.

The sentiment was stamped using Waltzingmouse Stamps "Compact Sentiments".
Off now to try out some of the other sets and hope to be back soon so until then take care.
