Welcome to this months Waltzingmouse blog party, and I was pleased that this time we had the option of just being green, as last year I really struggled with the St Pats theme!!!
Knowing that my FAVOURITE colour is green made this challenge super easy, plus my favourite stamps are trees/leaves/naturals!
I brought out my favourite waltzingmouse stamps, Teeny trees, and got stamping in various shades of green. I started by stamping the card base with the green concentric circles in a lovely pearlised green ink. Next I set about doing my tree scene, and used 3 different shades of green ink with the 3 basic tree shapes. The tree trunks were stamped in walnut stain distress ink. Two little birdies were sat in the middle tree as I am making this card for some friends how have recently moved. I used two of the teeny trees sentiments here and masked them to say Happy Home - ('happy
thanksgiving' and '
come home').
I used my lovely scalloped edgeabilities to add a little extra circley goodness to the card! I hope you like my take on Green, using both green colours, and a green theme (trees!). For a list of all the people taking part head over to the main waltzingmouse
blog!
Oh these trees are so lovely and soft, such pretty shades.

ReplyDeletewhat a cute design with the circles background and the pretty trees! love how you created the sentiment you wanted out of 2 stamps!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun design...great idea to layer those circles, and those stamped circles look fabulous as your background! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is so soft and springy! I love the way you've nestled the birds in the centre tree! Your sentiment construction is so clever - I love getting ideas on how to make my stamps go further! Happy St. Patrick's Day! :0)
ReplyDeleteAren't you clever using one of the tree pieces to make your own background. I love how your choice of matting echoes the circles on the background.
