Happy Waltzing day, friends - if this is new to you, you're in for a real treat! Every 17th, friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps get together for a blog "waltz" around a particular theme. This month we're celebrating Americana in honor of upcoming Independence Day!
I was inspired by the red, white, and blue colors of the flag as well as checked tablecloths for summertime picnics! I stamped the card base with Gingham & Co, a label from Holiday Labels 14 and a sentiment from what is probably my most-used set, Fancy Phrases! I finished the card with a big satin ribbon and three glittery stars. I can't wait to see what the rest of the waltzers came up with this month! Head over to the Waltzingmouse Forum to get started and I'll meet you on the dance floor!
Supplies: Stamps - Gingham & Co, Holiday Labels 14, Fancy Phrases (WMS), Cardstock - Select White (PTI), Ink - Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red (SU!), Silver (Encore), Stars (Memriemare), Ribbon (my stash), Foam Squares
This is fab Jen.....gingham & Co is my favourite set :D
