Waltzingmouse April Blog party - Spring Flowers

Blog-Party-Logo 70%25
For this months blog waltz I was so excited as I have two new Waltzingmouse sets which I got for Mothers day! Even more exciting was that both sets had stamps I could have used for the theme!

I chose to use Vintage Garden Flowers and stamped the Hyacinth. 


I used kraft card, stamped in Adirondack Expresso ( I tried using Walnut Stain distress ink, but it wasn't great for this as its a very fine stamp). I stamped the sentiment from a free set of Chronology stamps I got on front of a Docrafts magazine a couple of months ago.


I then used a cute antique brass key with Love on it (the card is an engagement card for one of my lovely Uni housemates) threaded through some Fantastic Ribbons twine.

I rounded the corners of the card and then sponged the edges with walnut stain distress ink and layered onto the kraft card case. As a finishing touch I also stamped the Hyacinth onto the envelope for a little extra touch.

I hope you like my spring flowers, and if you'd like to see others taking part hop over to the Waltzingmouse blog.
