July Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz! (for real)

So sorry this is late - blogger messed up again......

Good day and welcome to the July Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz!

On the 17th of every month, we celebrate with our friends, asking them to join us in featuring their works of art using Waltzingmouse Stamps. And, of course, there are prizes to be won! One of the blog waltz participants will be randomly chosen to receive a stamp set of choice, and one waltzer who correctly counts the number of watermarks in the Design Team and Claire's blog waltz posts will be randomly chosen to also receive a stamp set of choice! You'll find all the details on the Waltzingmouse Stamps blog.

The fun takes place in the Waltzingmouse House forum... you find the links to the Blog Waltz participants in the July 17 Blog Waltz Link List and a place to chat and enter the "watermark" contest in the June Blog Waltz Chat Thread.

The Blog Waltz theme this month is The Colours of Summer - blue and green!. Since I have a love affair with Hawaiian Shores right now I had to use it as my blue!

Of course the sketch I used is today's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge!! Isn't that fun - we have so much going on here at Waltzingmouse Stamps!!

You can see that I used Afternoon Tea for my main image and then Afternoon Tea Additions for the sentiment, which is partly covered up by the watermark (oooops!!, I gave it away...lol!)

For the beautiful background, I used the Spellbinders Impressabilities Flowers - that Claire sells in the store - yay!!  All I did was ink up the Impressabilties with Versamagic ink (not sure of the colour, but it is very close to Hawaiian Shores, as you can see) 

Then I placed my background cardstock on top - this was Neenah white as it is not as heavy a cardstock and I wasn't really sure if the heavier cardstock would work. 

I ran it through my Cuttlebug in this order starting at the bottom - the A plate, B plate, Impressabilities with ink, cardstock, B plat.,  It came out beautifully!

The circles were punched with the yellow Marvy punch - I never know what the proper name is - so yellow it has become! I stamped the same Versamagic turquoise ink onto the circles usingone of the smaller circles from the Vintage Circle, Small stamp set.

Okay that is it!! Don't forget to count up the watermarks on all the designers and leave your answer in the forum!! hiss hiss......lol!
