Calling all Vamps!

Happy, happy Saturday!

Today we are starting the previews of the new stamp sets being released for August from Waltzingmouse Stamps. This month, two Halloween sets are being released - the season will soon be upon us! And if you're like me, you can't wait!!! Today I am previewing Wanda's Pantry - the perfect set to accompany all your Halloween treats!

I combined my preview with today's WMS Sketch Challenge:


And here is my card:

How marvelously macabre!!

The Vampire Blood label fits the largest of the Small Labels Nestabilities. I stamped it, die cut it and then used Pumice Stone and Black Soot Distress Ink to dirty it up a bit. The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket (Haunted) and was a perfect fit. The dripping blood was cut by hand - this would be an ideal pair for the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch!

Wait until you see these sets up close and in their entirety - perfect down to the last, gory detail!!

This month we are also adding another fantastic lady to the Design Team! Mona Pendleton, the head cupcake herself, is joining us! I am very excited for the opportunity to work with Mona. Please take a moment to stop by her blog and say hello!

Claire is also offering another free shipping promotion this month. Please check the WMS Blog for all the information.

Today, Claire, Lisa, Julia, Lynn, Bonnie, Mona, Jennifer, and Laurie are sharing previews. I can't wait to see what creepy creations they have come up with!

See you tomorrow with more!

  14. Jennifer said it best; this card has a haunting elegance to it. Claire captured that old world elegance associated with vampires in her stamp. You took it to the next level with a Gothic feel in colors and shapes. Fabulous.
