Our monthly waltz last Thursday was on the theme of St Pat's, naturally. There was tons of gorgeous green inspiration and I just wanted to spotlight 3 that really caught my eye!! I didn't actually make it around the waltz until Saturday morning!! lol, but that's the beauty of it - you do it in your own time! My plan is to spotlight a couple of waltz entries every 20th, along with the prize winners here on the blog and I'm off to a terrible start a day late already!!! Begging forgiveness...
I was captivated by Karen B's green roses - I am one of those stampers that, when faced with an image to colour, can't think of anything outside the obvious! I was delighted to see the roses in green, it helps me to remember that there are no rules!!
I was intruiged by Cyndie's enamelling technique - I thought it was pretty unique - she pretty much painter her scene with coloured embossing powders - I really want to try this!!! The image looks like a delicate little enamel picture, such a pretty card!
And I pretty much fell off my set when I saw Dana's lucky card!! So many fabulous details, I LOVE that she coloured the labels 18 journalling shape with rainbow colours to match the ribbon! and the wee banners!!! eek!! straight into my favourites folder!!
Thank you to everyone who took part - it was great, so much inspiration to be had! I do hope these three ladies don't mind me sharing their cards, and I look forward to joining you all again next month!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats winners! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an honor to be spotlighted! I have to admit that the color green is not normally my thing, so I had to think long and hard on how to incorporate it into my card. I had so much fun and ended up with a card I love, so thanks for the opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Rudlis and Kathy!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe stand outs need standing ovations...so every one stand up and give it to Cyndie, Karen, and Dana. They made cards that were truly out standing. clap clap clap clap clap
Wonderful cards ladies! I still need to make my rounds on the waltz to see all the green. :) Can you believe it's been a year of Friends of WMS Waltzes? So fun! And congrats to those ladies winning prizes. Can't wait to see what they create!
