Time to Put on the Ritz

 I have a card to share today using two retired stamp sets from Waltzingmouse.  I was on Claire's WMS design team and so have almost every stamp set she created and I still use them a lot!


The background stamp is Art Deco and the sentiment frame and stamps are from the set Putting on the Ritz.

I colored just a few bits of the background with Copics.  The framed sentiment is popped up on foam dots and I added gems to the circles above and below the sentiment.

Inside I stamped:  Here's to a swell Birthday  from the same stamp set.

I'm linking my card to:
Any Coloring  I used Copics on my background and frame.

Anything Goes







Stamps: Art Deco Background, Putting on the Ritz - Waltzingmouse (retired)
Paper: White - PTI
Ink: Nocturne - Versafine Clair
Accessories: Gems - JoAnn, Copics G09, YR24

wow stunning card Julia, the Art Deco style is gorgeous ♥ It's so sad they're no longer in business.

Came for CCC, got my eye caught by WMS — I do miss them! I think the “dance on the tables” sentiment is the one I use most from that set (and the little simple anniversary one is very useful too!). Love what you did with the background here Julia, it looks very sophisticated.
