A Glorious Waltzingmouse Blog Hop - and a chance to win 2 sets!

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Blog Hop!!! Claire is revealing 4 brand new stamp sets at Waltzingmouse today and we are celebrating!!! And YOU have a chance to win two of the new sets!! (see how below!)

You should start the hop at Lynn's blog. If you came here from Laurie's blog you are in the right spot!
For my card today I used this beautiful circle stamp from the new set Vintage Circles Small. I stamped it using Versamark and black ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I colored in the filigree design with copics. I think it looks like a lovely stained glass window don't you? The sentiment is from the new set Spring Baskets. On the inside of my card I stamped 'Happy Easter' (Spring Baskets) and then three little flowers from the Vintage Circles Small set matching the colors to those used on the front.

There are two stamps sets up for grabs today! How can you win them you ask???

**** 3 Official Rules ****

1) One winner will be drawn from comments left on one of the Design Team's blogs -whose blog?? We don't know!! So be sure to leave a comment on each blog!!! This winner will receive the Spring Baskets Set!!
