Waltzing Mouse Stamps Blog Hop - Roses in Bloom

When Claire from Waltzing Mouse Stamps asked me to be a Guest Designer for her March release I was overjoyed to pitch in, Claire is such a talented Gal and I admire her greatly.
When I opened the stamp set Roses in Bloom my jaw dropped to the floor, it is one of those sets that will be used over and over again with endless possibilities.
My first project is a gift box with the rose stamped 3 times onto soft peach coloured card then shaded with Promarkers and then cut out and built up a few layers to make the rose pop.
I added a couple of die cut corners and sponged the edges of the box lid and die cuts with a soft Bark versacolor ink pad.


Attention to detail...

The pretty peach ribbon and the Mother tag are just enough to decorate the sides of the gift box.






For my 2nd project I made a Mothers day Card


14x14cm card a pretty pink paper from my stash a Spellbinders pendant a pretty satin ribbon and Waltzing Mouse Stamps.


Stamps were coloured with Promarkers in lemons and pinks.






Attention to detail...

I used the Lattice Pendant die from spellbinder to create a trellis effect behind the rose and buffed the edges of it in pink ink. the centre of the rose I used a sun punch and cut down the spike then curled each spike inward then added a gem to the centre to make it pop.


Be sure to visit Claire for more projects and all of the details to her fabulous stamp sets and be prepared for a dint in your plastic friend because I'm sure you will want all of them.

Tailors Heart - Rubber Stamp Tapestry

Tailors Heart by Rubber Stamp Tapestry I used versacolor to ink the stamps in Bark, Copper, Burgundy and Bramble, lots of layers with each edge distressed and an old gold ribbon.
The top layer has two hearts cut out and added with double sided foam pads, a few buttons added after tying with linen thread.
