Waltzingmouse Stamps SOAP - Day 3

Good morning!! Before I start into my post I'd just like to say that this is a looooooong one!! I made some cards this week for challenges and the deadline is looming so I have added them all below.

So.. let's get started :)

Waltzingmouse S.O.A.P - Day 3 

Today is the last day that the Waltzingmouse DT will be showcasing the 5 stamp sets which were released in May. To recap they were - Dainty Doilies Large, Dainty Doilies small, Join Us, Say it Loud & Gingham & Co.  Tomorrow we are rewinding to a favourite 'boy' set of mine Free Spirit Boy.

For my first card I've used Dainty Doilies Large stamped out on light brown cardstock with Versafine 'Toffee' Ink. I added some cream pearls to the centre of the full circles. I machine stitched all my papers and  added a sentiment from the Frame It stamp set.

Next I made a small 'Thinking of You' card. I stamped the reverse polka dot from the Gingham & Co. with Tumbled Glass distress ink onto blue cardstock. Then I added some blue sateen ribbon and a punched butterfly adorned with tiny white pearls. The sentiment is from Say it Loud.

 {apologies for the poor photograph, it was quite late when I took it}
