Hi everyone! Today starts the first day of previews for the new release at Waltzingmouse Stamps. This month, WMS will be releasing two sets that will most certainly fill a gap in your stamp collection! I was full of ideas as soon as I saw the graphics for the new sets!
Here is my card for today, using just one of the many manly images from He's a Free Spirit. ;)
The graphic images in this set are so fitting for guys of any age, but work particularly well for teenage boys. I channeled memories of old Atari video games for this card :) I stamped the background in the checkered pattern from Off Beat Backgrounds (checkered flag? racing? get it? ;)
I incorporated the sentiment (from the accompanying Free Spirit Sentiments) into the design. Easy, straightforward, and perfect for a guy!
Head over to see Claire at the WMS Blog for more, as well as links to the other DT members that are posting previews. I'm sorry that I don't have this info for you as I write this, but Claire will make sure you have the info that you need!
Yesterday we traveled from Amsterdam to Bruges, Belgium. We met up with another of our roommates from college and will be spending the rest of the week traveling around Belgium.
Thanks for the visit - I have another preview for you tomorrow!
