Good day and welcome to Day One of Waltzingmouse Stamps November Release! We have three days of release previews along with our regular Release Day Waltz (with prizes!) on Day Four!
Today we are previewing Yonder Star and Yonder Star Backgrounds........
I inked up Yonder Star Background with several complimentary inks - this stamp is a whopper - 4 1/2 x 5 3/4 inches - you can cover a full card front with this baby!
I cut up the the inked sheet of Rustic Cream cardstock into squares and then zigzag sewed them back together with my Janome sewing machine.
A piece of Sweet Blush cardstock was die-cut with a sweet little edge and adhered under the background strips.
The star was embossed onto kraft cardstock with fine white embossing powder and hand cut to pop up onto my base. After adding the sentiment and some pink sticky back gems - the outcome was more than I had imagined!
Here is a list of the other WMS Designers with their fabulous previews today!
