Hello and welcome!. We are thrilled that you stopped by today! You are in for lots of fun and inspiration today as we host our February Blog Party! Are you ready? If so, let's get this party started.
This month we have chosen a doily theme which continues to be very trendy on cards, scrapbook pages and various other crafty projects. However you feel inspired to express your love for doilies – we are anxious to see your Waltzingmouse Stamps creations.
The sample above is a slight cheat! Cutting files were used to create a doily from the artwork for the Dainty Doilies set - I just could not resist, I mad a doily and a mat and I sponged the doily with various colours before layering it on the cream mat - I used AC cardstock and I'm finding it a lovely match for the Cameo! If you'd like the cutting files pop a comment on this blog, if a few folks like them I will make them a freebie on the store.
Here’s how the party works works: Upload your entries to your blog or on-line gallery and then enter your direct URL link your creation using the inlinkz tool at the end of this post. We will leave the links open for 24 hours so that everyone will have a chance to play along, even if you haven’t created anything yet! Then after you link your project, why not take a little time and check out all the other inspiring projects by just clicking on their link.
Be sure to include the Blog Party Logo (seen at the top of this post) on your blog to easily identify your participation). How fun and easy!

Your card is so beautiful Claire! Amazing doily - Want to try that cut file right away!!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome doily card, Claire! I love the idea of a cut file for these! Could you even imagine trying to cut one out, LOL?! Love how your doily is placed over the textured cardstock, so lovely showing through! The pastel colors make this like an Easterflake! We do get snow around here at Easter time :)!
ReplyDeleteWOW... That doily is gorgeous!! Would love the cut files!! What is AC card stock??
ReplyDeleteClaire your doily is amazing. It looks like it was hand crochet with variegated thread, starched and framed. Absolutely stunning! That big button is just the cherry on top!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful, Claire!! When I first looked at it, I thought, "Oh my goodness, that is needle work!" But then I realized that it isn't and that makes it all the more impressive. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour card is stunning Claire - love the sponging on the doily. the cut file would be fun to play with.
