Happy Birthday Waltzingmouse!!

Claire Brennan is celebrating the first birthday of her stamp company Waltzingmouse Stamps . Claire is such an inspiration to me, because she felt inspired by a dream and decided to make it come true. Now she is celebrating a year of living that dream - which has seen some really cute, adorable and unique stamp sets enter the stamping arena!

During the May release Claire is offering up EIGHT new stamp sets - (the peekies are looking soooo amazing!) and as a special celebration she has drawn a sketch - invited us to enter our interpretations of it - and has offered to give the winner of the challenge all of her eight new sets as a prize!! WOW! That is soooooo seriously amazing!

So without further ado, here is my card - made with some of my most favourite Waltzingmouse stamps of all time:

This set uses the "Sewing Box Hugs" as the focal point, but little details of "Off Beat Backgrounds" and "Faux Fun" are all over it too!

Materials: All stamps - Waltzingmouse Stamps; Cardstock and Ink - Papertrey Ink; Pearls - Kaiser; Glossy Accents; Distress Ink and Stickles by Ranger Industries; Patterned Paper - Urban Prairie by Basic Grey

The windows are covered with Glossy Accents for a bit of shine, but I stamped them first with the 'bitty squares' from "Off Beat Backgrounds" to try and give them a windowpane appearance :0) The door is stamped with a twill pattern, the roof with a zig-zag, the background with Polka Dots - all from the same set.

Claire, congratulations on a year in business - thank you for your great products! And Happy Birthday to the Mouse! :0)
