Good morning, friends! It is a dreary Monday morning here - perfect for a little blog waltzing!
This is my second post for the day, please scroll down to see a little sneak peek of some new stuff coming from PPRS.
In honor of Waltzingmouse Stamps' first birthday, we're having a birthday-themed waltz this month. To get started, head to the WMS Forum to link up your creation and hop along with the other participants. There is also a thread for chatting about what you've seen and participating in our little contest! The DT members are each hiding little teacup images on their cards. Keep track of their count and a correct guess could win you a stamp set of your choice!
Here is my card - don't forget to look for the teacups. You can always click the photo for a larger version.
I stamped a few different backgrounds from Off Beat Backgounds and Picnic Patterns onto my cardstock and then punched them out with a large and small star punch. The background was stamped with the 'Happy Birthday' and 'Its Your Day' phrases from Free Spirit - Sentiments. I adhered my stars using foam dimensionals - I was going for a cascading stars look - and I really like how it turned out. I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge as my starting point. It has been ages since I've been able to participate and I hope to get back to joining in regularly! This card is 3.5 by 6.5 inches and would be great for a girl or guy. I love the bright, fun color combination.Have fun waltzing, I know I've seen lots of posts already! It is so great to see all of you joining us! Don't forget to head back to the WMS Forum to chat and join the contest.
Thanks for visiting, my dears!
