It's WALTZ Time! I'm joining the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz this month. The theme this month is Halloween, but since I don't have any halloween stamps, I decided to use fall colors and the 'give thanks' idea. Sorry that I'm not following the rules, but.....I can't miss a waltz! I hope no one really minds.
I stamped the background paper with one of the stamps from the new set called Victorian Fripperie It's a great set to use for all kinds of things. It's so versatile. I used clear embossing powder on it and set it with my heat gun. Then I used my sponges and some distress ink and sponged the paper. I used the medallion stamp from the same set and stamped it in chocolate chip ink for the centre and cut it out with my spellbinders nesties. I used the scalloped circles nestie on the piece behind it. I added in some orange ribbon.
I hope you enjoy my card. Be sure to become a member of the Forum at Waltzingmouse stamps so you can get all the links to the other cards on this waltz. It doesn't take much time to join up and then you too can be a part of the fun and games over at Waltzingmouse Stamps!
