Waltzingmouse Stamps October Previews - Day 3

Good morning and welcome to Day 3 of our Waltzingmouse Stamps October release previews. Do you have a favourite so far??!! You might want to hold off on that decision until after you see today's fabulous sets 2011 Holiday Ornaments and Santa's Coming To Town

The red pattern paper is from Bo Bunny Blitzen 6x6 pad. I stamped my Heirloom Ornament with Close to the Heart ink and used the matching nestabilities to cut it out. I punched a hole in the top using the crop-a-dile and threaded some yellow/white bakers twine through. 

I also made some tags, using the Nestabilies tag dies. I used Antique Linen and Momento black ink for the image/sentiment and then sponged the background with more Antique Linen. These tags are perfect for Christmas Gifts.

I used various different ribbons threaded through a punched hole at the top of each tag.

Waltzing Mouse July Blog Waltz

Well it's that time again. Waltzing Mouse are having another blog waltz.

The theme is the colors of summer... blue and green (any shades of your choosing)

All of the details for linking up your blog and how to enter are HERE

I had just bought some MME "So Sophie" papers that fitted the bill perfectly. One side is green with blue splashes and ther other side is white with petrol blue dots.

I used Very Vintage Labels 2 and Rescue Remedies Additions to make my sentiment tag. I had no green ink so I painstakingly dabbed all around the stamp with a little duo dauber, but it came out brilliantly!! I used the same ink for the sentiment. Then I attempted the cracked glass effect. I did 3 layers of clear embossing powder, put the tag in the freezer for a while. Once it had 'frozen' I took it out and bent it to crack the embossing powder. I ran a TH ink blender that was dabbed in Brushed Cordory ink all over the tag and then wiped it off with a baby wipe, leaving just the cracks filled with ink. 

My image is a Sarah Kay and I've used copic markers to colour her in. All of my flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the brown crystal stem I found in my local craft store.

This beautiful swirl is also in the Labels 2 set. I just popped a self adhesive pearl in the middle to jazz it up.. not that it needed anything, I'm just obsessed with using pearls, lol. 

Now I'm off to start the count of watermarks on all of the DT's samples.. not that I ever find them all, lol. 

Have a very happy Saturday and happy crafting!
