Best Wishes

Hey Everyone! Happy Friday Eve!! I'm back today with a card using some new Waltzingmouse Stamps that were delivered yesterday. I could not wait to get them inky and made a couple of cards. Here is one of them. I used heat embossing technique to emphasize the elegance that these stamps exude.

I'd also like to add that the color choices were inspired by Melissa Phillips' post here. and Sarah Martina's post here. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by and as always enjoy yourself!

Instructions

1. Make an A2 card base.
2. Stamp lace border twice with watermark ink, cover with embossing powder, and heat set.
3. Tie ribbon into a bow.
4. Add pearls and hat pins. {Tip: Hat pins too long? I use a wire cutter to trim excess metal.}
5. Die cut label.
6. Stamp label border with watermark ink, cover with embossing powder, and heat set.
7. Stamp sentiment on label. {Tip: If an ink is fairly light, use a stamp-a-majig and re-stamp multiple times to get a darker ink appearance.}
8. Trim blue paper and adhere to card front.
9. Adhere label with foam adhesive.
10. Add pearls
