A New Start......

 Well I'm back in blogland after a long break, so please be patient with me while I get back into the swing of things. I thought a new start deserved a new blog so here goes with my first post and my first challenge for a while.  I am a huge fan of Waltzing Mouse stamps so it made sense to start with the Waltzing Mouse sketch challenge. Here is the card I made;


I made the rose with Spellbinders Rose Creations dies (I still need a lot of practice with these) and then added some pretty beige seam binding and a hat pin from the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop.  Stamps sets used were Holiday labels 14 and Fancy Phrases. Papers are from Bo Bunny - Gabrielle collection (gorgeous!!). Ive made this for a friend who has been absent  for a while I'm going to send it to her.

Many thanks for taking the time to have a look at my card.
