I am so excited to be part of this hop today. It is only my second Waltzingmouse Stamps blog hop, but I love hopping with them. Claire is the owner of this amazing company that has some really great stamp sets. I only have one WMS set so far but there are LOTS on my wish list. The theme for this hop was to use the colors blue and green. I love those colors but couldn't help but add a punch of orange. The set I used/have is Free Spirit. I love all the images that come with it and have in fact used the flowers on two projects that I've already posted. In this set, there is a great image perfect for a backdrop, lots of circles. I stamped and embossed it in clear embossing powder and then sprayed over it with Tattered Angels (TA) Key Lime Pie and Denim Blue. Once I blotted the paper dry I gently rubbed over the embossed image to remove any extra color. I then repeated on a scrap piece of white and sprayed it with TA's Tiger Lily for my punch of orange before I punched it out with my oval nestie. I then used the curved stripe to give the impression of a wave. All of this came about because I really wanted to use the two surfboards in the Free Spirit set. I stamped one in blue and the other in green but needed something to frame them. This is where the pop of orange came from; the perfect frame for these fab little surfboards. To give the boards a little something extra I added glitter to the white parts of the images and then went over the entire boards with Crystal Effects. The sketch is from an old Taylored Expressions sketch challenge. This was a fun card to create.
