Today is the blog waltz for
Waltzingmouse Stamps. We're celebrating WM's 1st birthday and Im happy to be able to participate!
Did you know Im part Asian (actually half-Vietnamese) and I don't have
any asian stamps? I know, terrible! It wasn't until I saw this set,
Asian Gardens, that I knew I found the right one…all the way from Ireland, lol!!
I started by stamping the large background stamp across my white card base and then embossing the tree in gold on black cs. I also embossed the flower image in gold on red cs. Stamped the sentiment in the top left corner. I then found a black button with a large center opening and threaded the ribbon through. Sat back and thought it needed something else red (so that I follow the design rule of three). Added the little flower in red to the sentiment. Sat back again and thought now I need something else gold so I tied a little gold cord to a small flower button and placed that on top of the other button. Whew now Im done!!
Happy Birthday Waltzingmouse Stamps and a huge congratulations to Claire Brennan for designing such wonderfully elegant stamps that calls out to me from two oceans away. Can't wait to participate in next years blog waltz!
