Hello and welcome to my fellow Waltzingmouse Stamps Waltzers!
The theme of the blog waltz this month is vintage/shabby chic. Neither of these is my usual style, but I did my best!
First, I took a piece of pink patterned paper (Echo Park) and stamped the birdcage from Asian Gardens onto it using Rouge chalk ink (Colorbox). Then I sponged the edges with Walnut Stain Distress ink (Ranger).
I then cut the aqua piece of patterned paper (Echo Park) using the Label 4 die and stamped the outline using Hawaiian Shores ink (PTI). The sentiment, from Say it With Style, was stamped using Rouge chalk ink.
I die cut a piece of Hawaiian Shores felt using PTI's Mat Stack 1 die and stitched around the edge with my sewing machine. I added a bow, adhered all the layers and gave the whole thing a good spray with some Tattered Angel's gold mist.
Thanks for looking at my project today and I can't wait to see all the beautiful projects!
Melissa

simply beautiful card Melissa and I love that you used the birdcage stamp to create a background. Those colours look amazing together - lovely Vintage/Shabby card x
Nice. I like the felt.
I scrolled through your blog a bit, and have to say I love your scrap page of your kids' first and last days of pre-school... what a great way to see how they change over the course of the year... might steal this one from you!
Melissa, this is lovely! I love the colors you chose and that dp you created is gorgeous!
heh - i had the same dread & fear w/ this waltz's theme. you really knocked it outta the park with a fun modern twist on vintage & shabby. you can definitely pat yourself on your back.
Love the pink and blue on this! and your great fabric framing of your sentiment - that bg stamping looks super to Melissa!
I had to do a double take on the background, it's so beautiful with the bird cages stamped in a pattern! Love the bright pink with the blue...fab waltz card, Melissa!
