Today starts the previews for the Waltzingmouse Stamps November release. Four new stamp sets are being released on November 7. The other DT members and I will be sharing previews until then!
Today I've used Festive Foliage, a delicious set featuring winter foliage!
This card started with the horizontal frame from Frame It. I created a mask to fit inside the frame (just a trimmed down post-it) and then stamped some of the images from Festive Foliage around the outside. I think these pine branch and cone images are just beautiful, and they created a stunning frame, no? The sentiment is from Compliments of the Season. I really love how this turned out - it would be easy to mass produce!
My second card features a favorite holiday foliage - mistletoe!
I stamped the solid and outline images together, using two different shades of green ink. The solid berries are a separate image and were stamped in red. The sentiment is a combination of stamps, 'kisses' from Festive Foliage and the rest from another set being released this month. I used Off Beat Backgrounds to create my cozy red plaid background. I think it looks like flannel :)
So that's what I have for you today. Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's previews:
I will be back tomorrow with more! Have a great day!
