Home Sweet Home....

I finally received my Waltzingmouse Stamps in the mail yesterday and of course I inked them up
immediately..... I want to have fun like the rest of the Design Team!

I received the set Sewing Box - Hugs and decided to make a card with a frame of sorts.



I stamped the house onto Rustic cream cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and coloured it with copics.

I added some Zva Crystal gems to the windows and highlighted them with a gold Copic spica pen, hoping they would look like candles that had been lit and make it all comfy and cozy (how'd I do?.....)

I didn't colour the door because honestly, I didn't really know what colour to make it! That is so true......if I went with blue - it would be too much, if I coloured it green - I don't know..... green didn't seem like it at the time, but now it looks like it would have worked....oh my.....light brown may have done it too.....decisions, decisions......any suggestions? (Hey, I know I should be the one that can figure out what colour a door should be, but today I just can't lol!)

I love the new Basic Grey Nook & Pantry, it is so homey feeling, so I used a sheet of it from a 6 x 6 paper pad for my frame and background.

Using my square nestabilities I was able to cut squares from the middle of my measured piece of Nook & Pantry designer paper and Ocean Tides cardstock.




I glued those pieces together and then added dimensional foam tape to the back of the "frame" and added it to the cardbase that already had been prepared with the sweet little home image.

Using the Spellbinders Fancy Tags I stamped the sentiment and popped the tag up onto the bottom of the card.

I added a bit of Vintage Cream ribbon with a button tied with coloured twine to finish it off!

This set, along with two other gorgeous sets have been released already at Waltzingmouse Stamps. One of the stamp sets is a TOP SECRET and you even need a secret password to enter the secret blog to see the secret set! How secretly FUN is that?!

I'm off to a craft show today to spy to see how people set up their tables and to probably to buy stuff! yay!
