Welcome back! It's Day 3 of the Waltzingmouse Stamps August Release Previews. Have you been enjoying the release so far? Well, it's not over yet! We have more samples prepared for you this week! We have another three stamp sets to preview today before the Blog Hop on Saturday. We have Another Big Day, Pinstripe Background and Zigzag Background.
Before we begin, I'm really hoping that the pictures came out ok. It was so gloomy when I took these pictures. The sun just didn't want to cooperate with me. lol. Anyway, my first project for today is another nautical card. The Pinstripe Background is so perfect for this set! You've seen me use this is my previous projects. I just love it!
I used Ocean Bounds for most of my card. I made a background pattern with the life savers which I colored in with some light Copic colors.
I also heat embossed the sentiment using a dark gold/ bronze embossing powder. I thought it went quite well with the colors of my card.
And as much as I love making backgrounds, I'm so happy to finally have a chevron background I can stamp once.
The sentiment and lovely frame are from Another Big Day. I surrounded it with flowers from Two Step Sprig.
That's it for me today! I hope you were inspired by my creations today! Come back again tomorrow for the Blog Hop! And don't forget to check out the other WMS DT ladies! Thanks for stopping by today! See you again tomorrow! :)
the pictures turned out beautifully :) I adore that first card, with the pop of (i think) mint on the life savers in the background. gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures look fabulous, Jean! And your cards are so beautiful! I'm really liking the 2Step Sprig set....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm especially loving the life preserver paper you created on the first one!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I think the background you stamped with the lifesaver image is brilliant - a perfect guy card! And the zig zag background on the birthday card is really pretty - like the subtle distress!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
