WMS September Release DT Blog Waltz!

Yippee! We're finally here! The long anticipated WMS September Release Day! Claire and the Design Team are celebrating with a Blog Waltz.

Please start the waltz over on Claire's blog. If you came here from Laurie's blog - you are in the right place!

For my first card today I used Nutcracker Sweet and Music Backgrounds. I stamped the tree 3 times, colored the circles and hearts with colored pencils and gamsol, then layered pieces over the initial stamping with foam dimensionals. I sponged the card edges and tree with Tea Dye ink then added some Dazzling Diamonds on the tree and the garland for holiday sparkle!

(I actually stamped the bar of music upside down - but don't tell anyone - OK??!!)

For my 2nd card I just had to use Teeny Trees again - this set is just so fun to use!! Today I just stamped the little leaves across a piece of Linen Vellum along with the sentiment and adhered the strip to my card base. Easy peasy and oh, so cute - don't you think??!

For my third card (someone stop me please!!!) I just had to use this cute little car in the Half Pint Hero's set. My card is 6" x 3" and very CAS - I stamped right on the cardstock and only added a strip of patterned paper. I used Copics to color my image.

And I couldn't end the sneaks without making at least one card using the Bountiful Basket Additions could I??? Here's another CAS card - I stamped directly on the cardstock, stamping the flowers, masking them and then stamping the basket. I dry embossed the framing with Labels 9 and colored with my Copics. I cut the sentiment with Spellbinders Tag Trio. Then I just added yellow stickles to the centers of my poinsettias.

You can see my tutorial on dry embossing a frame on my previous post hereAs always - you can win a WMS stamp set of your choice during the Waltz just by leaving comments on our blogs - you get one chance by leaving a comment on Claire's blog and another chance by leaving comments on the DT's blogs (a random winner will be chosen from one of the DT's comments!)
