Waltzingmouse March Release Peeks - Day One!!

Oh this feels like heaven to be back in the saddle again lol!  Welcome, welcome faithful bloggers, from the bottom of my heart, to our first release this year!

The whole Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team has been chompin' at the bit to preview, and so to start off and just to be different, we will all be stamping with the same stamp sets each day for the next three days -until all five (that's right - five!) stamp sets have been shown!!  but only to keep you in suspense a little longer....*dastardly grin*......

These new stamp sets will be released on March 1st - so sit back and relax with your coffee or tea for the next few days and get ready to be amazed!!

Today we are all previewing two sets -  "Back in the Saddle" and "Way out West"! I have fallen in love with these sets and have many samples to show you over the next few days and beyond!



For my card today, I stamped the one of the backgrounders, which is from "Way Out West," on an angle with different colour distress inks. 

We used to have an old "Indian" blanket in our basement, and we would curl up under it to keep nice and cozy while we watched television. I loved the warmth and feel of it.

To convey that warmth, I diecut a piece of felt and tied a button to each end and around the card.  Then I adhered the image from "Back in the Saddle" to the felt and stamped the sentiment in the bottom corner!

I sponged around the image and the cardbase with distress inks to make it seem even warmer.

Here are the members of the design team who are participating today! Our precious Lisa has resigned her post as designer and fabulous DT coordinator, and we miss her, but we have a new member of our design team and that is Sarah Martina - I know you will give her a wonderful welcome!!

Take a look at their wonderful peeks with this fascinating stamp set!

  13. Oh, Bonnie, what a fantabulous idea to imitate an Indian blanket! LOVE this & the felt was a great addition. I'm in LOVE with this set, not only for my Duke-loving hubby, but I just realized this will also work perfectly for my boot-scootin' sweet dancing-crazed friend who never misses a Country Western concert in AZ too! Yee-Haw -- LOVE it when I have a double excuse to buy new stamps!!!
