WMS Sneak Peak Day #3 - A Doilie Thank You

Welcome to Day 3 of the Waltzingmouse Sneak Peeks!  All 5 of the new stamp sets will be available to purchase on May 1!

Today I think you will be very excited to see doily stamps!!!  Claire has made two sets for this release -  Dainty Doilies Large and Dainty Doilies - 2 - Small.

I used a fun technique in stamping this card - it's called Ghosting.   I found  instructions here on Sharon Harnist's blog.  Basically, I stamped a doily from the Dainty Doilies Large set on white card stock with white pigment ink (I used Brilliance Moonlight White).  You have to let this dry or use a hot gun to speed up the process.  Then I sponged over the pigment stamping with dye inks - I used Ranger Distress inks.  Doesn't this look great??!   Try it with all different colors!

I punched the lacey edge and added the tassel with a coordinating brad.  Then I stamped a doily from the Dainty Doilies - 2 - Small set in a darker green.  I added a gem to the center.

The sentiment is from the new set we previewed yesterday -  Join Us.  I used a Trio Label from Spellbinders to die cut it and popped it up on foam tape.

Here's what I stamped on the inside - the sentiment is from Join Us and the doily is from Dainty Doilies Small - that I cut out with a large Scallop Circle Nestability that I sponged before taking it out of the die.

I used today's Waltzingmouse Sketch for my card -  here's the fun sketch Claire designed for us this week.

Check out the WMS Sketch Blog and get inspired by the cards the Mischief Makers and other DT members have created using this week's sketch.  You'll also find all the details about the weekly sketch challenge and how you could win a free stamp set by linking up your sketch card there!
