Waltzing Mouse Blog Party

I can't resist making a second card for the Waltzing Mouse Blog Party with the theme Spring Flowers.  I am using the colour challenge from The Dynamic Duos Challenge.

I am still using the Waltzing Mouse Large Doily set to make this card. At first, I was rather sceptical about the colour combo but to my surprise it turns out beautifully and gave a very refreshing look on the card.

Pretty direct card which involves some paperpiecing randomly.  Used some vellum diecut and felt as well to give an extra look for the card.

Thank you for your sweet comments.

Waltzing Mouse Blog Party

there, today is the 17th of the month which means it's blog party time at Waltzing Mouse. This month's theme is Spring Flower.  This is the first time that I am participating with this blog party and I am looking forward to visit the rest of the participants' creations.

I wanted the card to be tall and skinny but my A4 card does not allow me to do that so I had to extend the second panel. The base card is punched on both sides with MS punch.  The second panel is stamped with the Waltzing Mouse Large Doily set in three different colours and paperpieced on the middle part.  Stickles are added on the buttons and added machine-stitched on the border. This time, instead of using a ribbon, I used a lace which give a more feminine look.

I also stamped the inside of the card.

The first time I saw the sentiment from a website and I knew I had to make these monsters bookmarks! This time I used silver embossing as the outline which I think it gives a bit of a monster effect!  Thereafter, I coloured all the monsters with pro-markers.

Stamps used : Hero Arts CL391

The Lawn Fawn Hearts for Kids

Hi Everyone,

As you may know that I've been making cards for the Cards for Kids drive and just wanted to let you know about an exciting event that will be happening on the 18th of August.

Kelly over at Lawn Fawn will be hosting a Blog Hop in honour of "Cards For Kids" drive which is organized by Jennifer McGuire and her team of helpers. I want to encourage you to join us on this hop and spread the news around to show your support to the kids.  So, please hop along with us.

If you would like to have your blog added to the list please visit  Kelly  and let her know you would like to join in the fun. You must share a card that you have made for the Card Drive.  You don't have to use Lawn Fawn stamps, though it would be nice, but you can use whatever product you like as long as it is for Cards For Kids.

To find out more about the kids that are being blessed with all of these cards and some with small gifts please check out all of the information at Jennifer Mcguire's blog here. Remember to her visit her blog and don't forget to tell Kelly that you got the info from here!
