WMS July Release Day 3

Hi there!

Well, we are almost there! Today is Day 3 of the Waltzingmouse Stamps July release and tomorrow the four sets we've been previewing will be available for sale.

The set we are previewing today is called My Island. Oh, I love love love this set. I have four cards to share and a lot of pictures, so make sure you have a beverage, make yourself comfortable, and I'll keep the chit chat to a minimum :)

I couldn't resist the opportunity to create another inky sunset. I also used some of the images from Way Out West again. Doesn't the mountain range image resemble a cloud bank?

Love the detail on these palm trees. I think Claire was checking out my trip photos from Wakatobi when she created this set! ;)

This next card was based on today's new WMS Sketch:

The set contains this distressed, vintage looking rectangle, which is a great base for stamping some of the other images. Here I used the small island of palm trees. The distressed oval frame is also included and coordinates so nicely with the Standard Ovals Large from Spellbinders.

I had the little shell in my stash - I think I found it on the beach with the hole in it already - truly! Isn't the styling of the sentiments so fun? It is a fantastic font combination.

For this card, I started by stamping three little scenes using some of the different images in the My Island set. Here you can see the sun rays, the coordinating land (or water) image, and some of the other little additions.

I used my Silhouette and created this polaroid-type frame shape (ok, maybe more like an Instax) to put my 'pictures' in. I stamped a different sentiment on the bottom of each.

Here is a close up of each:

So. much. fun.

And now for something a little different.

I used the sun ray image from My Island and stamped it bottom to bottom to create this fun sunburst. Adding the die cut oval frame on top covers up where the two images come together and is just plain fun!

I used an image from tomorrow's set (which happens to be mine!) but it will give you no hints whatsoever as to what it is ;) This yellow/gray/teal color combination is delicious.

Well congratulations if you've made it this far! I really had tons of fun with this set and look forward to using it in conjunction with some other WMS sets.

I hope you're ready for even more inspiration! Here are the rest of my fellow DT girls for today:
