Hello there! Happy release day! Today the three new Waltzingmouse Stamps sets we've been previewing for the past three days will be available for purchase.
You should have arrived here from Laurie's blog. Claire's blog is the start of the waltz, so head back to her if you're just popping in, she has a list of all the Design Team members participating. Tosh will be your next stop after this one.
As usual, Blog Waltz prizes are up for grabs! One winner will be randomly chosen from the comments left on one of the Design Team blogs, so let us know what you think of the new release! You have until Friday, May 11 to leave your comments. Winners will be announced on the WMS Blog on the 12th.
Let's get on with it, shall we? My project for today is a mixed-media canvas, something I've been wanting to do for ages.. especially after seeing the amazing ones that Mona makes!
I have a lot of photos to share, so I'll try and keep the chit-chat to a minimum.
I made a set of four canvases, each 4 by 5 inches, and each featuring a different image from Half Pint Heroines (and one thrown in from HP Heroes because they go so well together). I used products from Claudine Hellmuth's Studio Line from Ranger to prep the canvas, paint them, adhere the patterned paper, and seal them.
These are intended to be displayed together, they tell a little story, and would be ideal for a little girl's bedroom. Here are close-ups of each:
The balloon is my favorite :)
This project was so FUN! The sentiments of encouragement in this set are so perfect and go so well together that I think this would really be great for a little girl. I loved working on these and can't wait to create more canvas art.. it was fun to step out of the card zone!
Tosh is your next stop! Enjoy the rest of the waltz!
