Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Hop

Hi all and welcome to release day of Waltzingmouse Stamp's March sets.  Claire has lots of fun things to share with you, in addition to the wonderful new sets she is releasing.  I don't want to spoil her surprises, so I will leave the big reveals to her, but what I will do is share with you my blog hop card.  If this is your first stop along the hop, I recommend that you begin at the beginning at Claire's blog.  If you are arriving here from Laurie's blog, then you are right on track.

I’ll be linking to another Waltzingmouse Stamps designer and that designer is linking to the next and so on. Claire is giving away two stamp sets (winner's choice!) to two lucky winners who will be drawn from comments left on one of the DT's blogs and the other one will be selected from a commenter from her blog. You do not need to leave a comment on each and every designer's blog post to qualify, but the more locations you leave a comment along the blog hop path, the better your odds of being one of the lucky winners. As a bonus, you will see some wonderful projects using stamps that will be available from Waltzingmouse Stamps.



I used the  new
Roses in Bloom set that Claire is releasing tonight on a "Z" fold card.  The patterned paper is recycling at its finest.  It's actually the back side of Claire's new stamp inserts.  When I saw the new inserts and felt the fine quality paper and the great tartan design, I knew I'd be recycling it for use on a card.

 



With a card base of Pure Luxury Ivory and mats in Moonlit Fog and Good as Gold along with pieces from Claire's packaging, I created my card upon which I attached my Labels Three pieces that hold my rose and leaf images.  They were colored with Copic markers.  

Are you ready for more?  If you are, be sure to stop by Anya's blog and see what inspiration she has for you.  She will then point you to the next top along this hop.  Be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win!  Thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!

Lovely card. I've got to remember to use different shapes and not just the standard, same-old same-old.

Heather said...

I love that you've stamped your image with the London Fog. It really sets the red off just right!

What a neat card design, and you've used the nestabilities set as well, it frames the flower nicely.
