Welcome to the Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz - it all starts in the playroom of the WMS forum - you can find all the details here. We hope you'll come join us! This month the theme is Christmas!
My card is clean and simple - I embossed the Nestability square right on the card stock. I stamped my tree (Teeny Trees) in black ink, then stamped the garland of stars in Versamark Ink and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I adhered the stamped panel inside the frame using foam dimensionals.Then I stamped the sentiment and DONE! An easy design to make multiples of quickly - perfect for this busy time of year when we want to make our own cards but don't have tons of time.
There's a contest going on during the waltz - and there could be hidden clue(s) on my picture - count them up and enter your total over in the playroom. A random correct guess will win a prize!
As you are reading this - I am actually in the hospital - hopefully done with my surgery (scheduled for 7:30 am EST) and already on the mend in my hospital room. I hope to be home tomorrow or the next day and back at my computer so I can belatedly do the Blog Waltz and see all the wonderful Christmas Inspiration from you all! I'll be home recovering for about 6 weeks - no heavy lifting - but stamps aren't heavy - right???!!!
I'd appreciate your prayers today.
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Teeny Trees
Paper: White, Simply Chartreuse - PTIInk: Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark
Accessories: gold embossing powder, hot gun, square Nestabilities, foam dimensionals.
