Waltzingmouse Blog Hop...Happy Birthday!

I made this card for the CAS67 Shabby Chic and Clean and Simple challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers. I think that it is almost an oxymoron to put these two together but I made an attempt and this is the result.

I didn't use any image stamps at all, just a word stamp...and it is from the Waltzingmouse Earth Angel set.
The paper is assorted designer paper from my stash.

Waltzingmouse Challenge

Claire posted a sketch challenge on her blog today. I looked at it and thought, "Whatever can I do with this sketch? I'm a Clean and Simple stamper and this is definitely outside my box!" But I really wanted to try!

So this is the result. I'm pleased with it and it will make a wonderful baby card for someone who is having a boy!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse and Clear Expressions (sentiment)
Paper: Baja Breeze and White

Waltzingmouse Celtic sets

I got these wonderful Waltzingmouse sets in the mail (or post) a few weeks ago, and I made a few cards the same day. But did I post them here? No. Well, I have no excuses other than I have been neglecting my blog...again. Well, to be honest, I haven't visited a lot of blogs lately. But I'm remedying that!

What can one say about such elegant images. This card has one image stamped twice in the circle. I used my CM circle cutter for the circles, and my Scor-Pal for the scoring on the background. Colors are Handsome Hunter and White. Dimensionals pop the image up.


The soft colors on this card were inspired by one I saw on SCS, but I don't remember who posted it. I apologize. The claddagh represents friendship, loyalty and love. I will probably use this for a wedding or anniversary card. Colors are kraft, white, saffron, and mustard. Scoring is done with the Scor-Pal and the ribbon is cream. It really matches better than the picture shows. Again, I popped the image up with dimensionals.

And this elegant card is done in Elegant Eggplant and white. I used dimensionals to raise the image panel up.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
