Waltzingmouse Stamps - Day 1 Previews!

Hello friends!  I'm so glad you could join me today - the first day of new release previews at Waltzingmouse Stamps!  There are three brand new sets this month that will knock your socks off and today we're showcasing "My Kind of Guy", a fabulous set for all of the wonderful men in our lives!
For my first project, I made a card and started with a piece of white cardstock embossed with the large scalloped image using black embossing powder.  That image reminded me of wingtip shoes and went with a black patent look!  I stamped one of the small decorative images around the edges of the white card stock and then stamped the frame from the set onto some woodgrain paper and filled it in with an adorable face image and a cute sentiment.  I adore the imagery in this set and know you will, too!  I finished the card with some glossy accents for the monocle and a little button tied with twine and a piece of mustache flair.  Fun! 
My second project is a tag and I stamped the frame image onto some patterned paper and then added some of the fun words from the set into a little phrase and then added more words in the background accented by a couple of canvas stickers that I colored with my Copics.  I finished the tag with some velvet rickrack trim.

Thanks so much for visiting today and I'll see you back tomorrow with something a bit more girly!  :)

  4. Oh wow! Smitten here Jen! Love your stamping on both of these - you found a way to sneak in so many of the little accent stamps. Love how these are "for the guys" but still so many layers and embellishments to look at!
