Waltzingmouse Flower Show


Well, we made it home--from sunny Florida--back to cold and rainy Kansas! Goodness, spring is certainly taking its time getting here. We had hail and lots of rain last night! But Florida was wonderful--loved the gorgeous beaches and all the fantastic birds we saw!

I luckily got back just in time for the Waltzingmouse Stamps Flower Show!! I love flower shows and this one is extra fun and full of lots of gorgeous floral entries!! Several very special stampers have posted creations using various Waltzingmouse stamps. And Claire has offered a fantastic prize to the lucky random winner of the blog hop. Check out the link above for all the details. Just select one or more of the projects to CASE. There are so many fabulous choices but I especially LOVE this awesome card by Kimberly Crawford!


I used some of the same stamps from Folk Art Medallion and added a couple of others from Compact Sentiments-Part Two and Folk Art Label 25 (all from WMS). The cardstock is Smoky Shadow and was embossed using white embossing powder. The rose was made using a MFT rolled rose die. And I used Kimberly's technique for the leaves. I really like the look of stamping on patterned paper with Versamark and embossing in clear.


I actually got two cards made today, in between laundry and a trip to the grocery store! So I'll be back soon with another post!

See you later,
Sharron

Sharron, your case is gorgeous, I love the little stamped motifs and that beautiful felt rose!
We just got back from Florida too, last Monday! Jet lag has finally gone. Where did you stay? We did Orlando first, then spent a week at Siesta Key, then spent 2 days in fabulous Miami Beach! Wish I was there now!

Your card is just beautiful. I cased this same exact one. I love how you added some little elements from the folk art set, and your felt rose is just divine. I wish I had thought of that one.

I love your recreation. It looks so clean and crisp! The colored mat under the blackboard really makes the card pop more!

Kim Heggins said...

Sharron, you did an amazing job CAS'ing Kimberly's card. I love that chalk board look and your flower is just too perfect. Just beautiful.

Julia Aston said...

A lovely case Sharron - what a pretty felt flower!

Sarah said...

Love the flower...you just want to touch it!!

Jill Norwood said...

Sharron this is a wonderful card! I love the stamps you used for the chalkboard and your gorgeous felt rosé and leaves! So pretty!

Kate said...

Stunning stamping - I have yet to try that blackboard technique. It scares me a little - embossing with white on black card - any mistake will be so noticeable but yours is sooo prefect. And that felt rose WOW
