My First Waltz!


YIPEEE!  It's my first Waltz with Claire Brennan and Waltzingmouse Stamps :).  Every month, I have every good intention of playing along, and something happens (usually my forgetfulness...) But this month...this month was different.  I've moved the area I lovingly refer to as "Stampland" up to our front room, from the basement, since we apparently still have "inhabitants" down there...and when I saw the challenge, I decided that this would be the first card I made in my "new space".

I LOVE Claire's stamps, and am glad I get to play along with so many others who feel the same way.

I used one of her older sets, Sewing Box Hugs.  I used Hawaiian Shores and Spring Moss Cardstock, along with Hawaiian Shores and New Leaf ink.  I cut out the layers, and put the flowers together - finishing them off with a button in the center.

The base layer is White, and I added a layer of Kraft, punched with that delicious EK Success Embossed Curve punch....ooooh how I've waited to get that punch - and I finally broke down and treated myself to it :).  I love it.  Probably a little too much.

Finished it off with my sentiment -- and there you have it!  I apologize, but by the time I got to sit down and finish it, all daylight was gone, and I haven't gotten to set up my light box anywhere up here yet...sooooo, my photo is not ideal.

Thanks so much for stopping by -- Have a great weekend!!



Supplies:
Stamps: Sewing Box Hugs - Waltzingmouse Stamps
Ink: Hawaiian Shores, New Leaf (PTI), Rich cococa memento
Paper: Gina K Luxury white, PTI Hawaiian Shores, Spring Moss, Kraft
