Hello, here's my card for the January 2012 Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party! This month the theme is "SWEET THINGS". Sweet things can be food items, a Valentine for your sweetheart, something you consider to be a sweet thing or however you interpret "sweet things" and as long as you use Waltzingmouse Stamps images on your creation. You can link your card or project on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog, check it out for full details.
I mixed up a few different Waltzingmouse Stamp sets for my creation! The celtic heart is from Celtic Heritage Stamp set, the label is from Very Vintage Labels No.10, the sweet text is from Rescue Remedies (I masked the rest of the stamp) and the 'darling of my heart' text is from the Irish Blessings stamp set. The motif in pink is also from Very Vintage Labels No.10.
The flowers I made, the larger one I made using the Spellbinders Rose Creations die. The other one is a Quilled Rose and I painted the tips in white.
The white background paper I repeat stamped using text from the Sweethearts Stamp set from Waltzingmouse Stamps. I stamped it several times before inking up again to get that effect. The Inklinkz tool closes later today, so you only have a little while to get your creation linked up. Pop over to the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog for more details. Have a great day! : )
