Hi there! Didn't I tell you the blog would be busy again these next few days? :) Welcome to Waltzingmouse Stamps May Release Previews! It's Day 1 of the release, and today we're introducing Country Labels 4.
For my first card, I made a simple card using inking. I've been enjoying using this technique these past few weeks. I heat embossed the flowers from French Country in white. Then I used dye inks to color the base of the card. I love how the white pops against the yellow and aqua inks.
I stamped my favorite label from Country Labels 4 in black. Then I stamped it 4 more times in different colors. I hand cut each quarter then adhered it onto the black base to create this multi-colored label.
For my second card, I made a little country Thank You card. I used Chicken Wire for the background. Then Bitty Banners which I adhered over it with foam tape.
I used glue dots to place the twine underneath the banners. I also hand cut the little bird house in the middle. The stamped border in between is from My Kind of Guy.
Ok. That's it for today. Come back again tomorrow for more previews of the Waltzingmouse Stamps May 2013 Release. There's a lot more inspiration for you in the other DT ladies' blogs. So head on over there and leave them some love! I'll see you all again tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by! :)
