It's a Birthday Hop!

Good Tuesday morning the 26th of January! 

It is a fun day today because it is the boss lady's birthday, and since she won't fly us all to Ireland to help her celebrate, the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team are bring our designs to her and having a surprise birthday hop!! 

Happy Birthday Claire!

If you want to start at the beginning of our Happy Birthday hop, then you will want to go to Anya's blog. If you just came here from Belinda's blog then you are on the right track! 

I decided to use my Sewing Box - Hugs and Earth Angel stamp sets from Waltzingmouse Stamps since these are some of the first sets I received and both are terribly under-used! 

Using Memento Rich Cocoa (for copic colouring capabilities!), I stamped the flowers from Sewing Box - Hugs, three times each, twice on Rustic Cream cardstock and once on My Mind's Eye Beloved designer paper (can you say yummy??!!). I stamped only the packaging sheet that comes with the MME package because I loved the smaller images.


I used my grey copic marker to go around each "sewing" layer to make a shadow and then layered them up with glue and pop dots.

The leaves were done the very same way. 

I sanded the edges of the strips of the Beloved designer paper so that it would look like another layer - love doing that! and then I adhered it onto the Rustic Cream card base.

The sentiment is from Earth Angel, stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa - and I love this sweet little font - I am totally into fonts right now - analyzing, brainstorming different uses, all sorts of freaky font-y ideas!

The flower centers have seed beads added to them - easy to do - just pop a clear glue dot onto the center of the flower and go cross-eyed placing seed beads on the glue dot! lol!

The flowers and leaves were then layered and popped up beside the sentiment.

I hope you like it Claire!! and have a Happy Happy Birthday!!
