It's time for another blog waltz with Waltzingmouse Stamps! This month's theme is BUTTONS!
So I picked the brightest, cheeriest colors that I could find and some super orange buttons, and made myself a little slice of Florida to feel better. (And I found a channel with a weatherman that says it's going to get up to 50 degrees today, yippee!)
I finally ordered "Teeny Trees" and was a little excited to use it! I stamped the tree trunk, and then used the teeny leaf images over and over, in different shades of green (and some yellow). Sponged yellow around the outside edges. The bottom panel just happens to be a piece of fabric that came already "pinked"!
Here are the other supplies:
Stamps: Teeny Trees and sentiment from Frame It, Waltzingmouse Stamps
Cardstock: White and New Leaf, Papertrey Ink
Inks: PTI New Leaf, VersaMagic Sahara Sand and Thatched Straw, and VersaColor Lime and Bamboo
Other: buttons, orange Divine Twine, fabric quarter from JoAnn's, circle punch, sponge dauber
Thanks for stopping by! Couldn't have asked for a better waltz theme to cheer me up...buttons make me so happy!
Now you all have yourself a sunny day now, ya hear?!
