June Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz!



Welcome to another Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz! The design team is playing along today, too, and we have a little something up our sleeves. 

As you waltz along, look very closely at each photo, for we've hidden little Chinese lanterns in some of them. Count them up and post your guess here in the Waltzingmouse forum for a chance to win fabulous prizes (Waltzingmouse stamps)!

This month our theme is masculinity! ugh.....That is a tough one for everyone I think - so therefore a great challenge!!
I chose to use the stamp set Free Spirit and Free Spirit Sentiments, because they are basically masculine sets, and I really haven't stamped them up enough!



 I stamped the backgrounder from Pic-Nic patterns in Smokey Shadow ink onto Soft Stone cardstock - love this look! 

The "waves" were punched from the Fiskars wave punch and then highlighted with Fresh Snow ink. I also ran Fresh Snow ink around the edges of the Basic Gray cardstock - I bought the small cube of Fresh Snow ink so that it is easier to handle running it around the edges or highlighting things like waves !

I stamped the surf boards in New Leaf, Terracotta Tile and Hawaiian Shores ink, cut them out and popped them up onto the front of my card and then stamped the sentiment!

I hope you like it and are getting some great masculine ideas this waltz, and don't forget to count those Chinese Lanterns!!
