Judging from last week's day that went AWOL, I decided I was not going to get caught out again. So today, I am posting my chosen week's worth of card entries for challenges closing this week. I had hoped to enter the Waltzingmouse Sketch challenge last week too, but that card, although made early enough, didn't get posted. *Sigh* I still haven't figure out what happened there. So this week, I am commited to getting them in, in time.
The challenge for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge is to use a trio of the same or very similiar elements on a card and somewhat in-line. There were so many takes on this challenge between the entrants and the WMS Sketch DT that I figured my three flutterbies might fit in okay. *fingers crossed* I hardly ever do shaped cards, boring I know, but I do want to make more, hence the following scalloped circle card was my concerted but still enjoyable effort. Now to figure out what envelope to pair this baby with. Not sure why it ended up being a Get Well card, but there you go. I had fun.
Thank you so very much for stopping by. Have a brilliant day!

And it's a beauty Jen!!! Love the gorgeous gold bow how fitting for a good old fashioned tea party!!!
*smile* Even if I hadn't read your profile I would have picked you for an Aussie crafter....Lindcraft gave you away :) It's such a shame we don't have the choice here, you would have had at home!!
Ohhh, I love this! The circle interpretation is so pretty. I love your bow :)
Wow, Jen, what a beautiful card! You did a nice job with the sketch! Love the butterflies!
This is such an elegant card Jen. I love that beautiful bow. The little butterflies were just the right touch and I think you were right to make it a get well card. Who doesn't want a nice cup of tea when they are feeing poorly? The doily was just icing on the cake.
What a pretty card, Jen! I think your take on the sketch is perfect and definitely unique! I love the rich colors and your bow is lovely! Thank you for joining us at WMSC this week!
Wow Jen, absolutely lovely! Love your soft colors and the cute teacup on its doily. And the butterflies are the sweetest.
Jen, this is a super creative take on the WM sketch! That cup of tea looks REAL, LOL! Love the three butterflies, great touch. I can relate to your little challenge with getting cards posted in time for deadlines . . . I can relate way too much, LOL! :-D
Lovely soft card - those butterflies are gorgeous too. I don't make many shaped cards either - it's the dilemma about what to do with the envelope!
what a wonderful round card! love the tea cup and pretty ribbon! thanks for playing with the WMS sketch this week!
i absolutely love this card!! and that ribbon is totally swoon-worthy!! great job :-)
Jen this is just BEAUTIFUL! LOVE the shape, the colors, those cute little butterflies! FABULOUS all the way around.. or shall I say all the way a a scallop!!
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
Jen, I agree with everyone - your circle card is BEAUTIFUL! I love the colors, the coffee cup, the doily and your trio!
Those little wooden butterflies are so cute and really look great where you have positioned them over the sentiment. I`ve never made a shaped card - will have to try that soon!! A cup of tea right now sounds great!!
I'm so glad you made it in time! And I must say, for your first submission to WM Sketch Challenge...this is FAB!!! So glad you could play with us at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! :)
