WMS March Release DT Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps DT blog hop for the March 1 new release! Claire has 3 wonderful new sets to excite and inspire you available TODAY!!! - Labels 3, Roses and Nestie Eggs!

I'm honored to be highlighting two of the new sets on my cards today. Labels Three and Roses.

You should start the hop at our Claire's. If you came here from Bonnie - you're in the right place and you're almost done with the hop!

For my first card I used the beautiful Labels Three set that fits the Nestabilities of the same name (do you think that was planned?? LOL!!) I stamped the scrolly label inside the dotted label and colored in the scrolls with a Copic.

The sentiment, daffodils, butterflies and dots are from last months release Spring Baskets. I also used the beautiful new Victorian Digi paper as the background of my card. Claire has 3 different digi papers premiering today - so be sure to check them out too!

I used Taylor's sketch for this card.

The Inspiration Challenge on Split Coast was to pick an Olympic Ice Skaters costume to inspire our card. I was inspired by this beautiful blue, black and silver outfit of Kwak Min-Jung from Korea.
From this inspiring costume I created this card for my sister's birthday in April using the beautiful new Roses stamp set. Her favorite color is blue.


I colored the rose and leaves with Koh-i-Noor coloured pencils , gamsol and paper stumps. I stamped and cut out the flower twice and layered it with foam dimensionals.

The knit stitch circle border is stamped in black and versamark and then I sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds over it -and yes I am now all glittery as well as my work table!
