WMS Blog Hop: 4th July/Americana

It's waltzing time again, and today I've got two Waltzing Mouse cards for ya'll. I don't really send out 4th of July cards (invites maybe), so I went with the Americana style for this hop. I used WMS's Bitty Banners for both and doubled inked them (meaning I used two colors at the same time). I inked up the stamps using Distress Ink's Faded Jeans and Fired Brick and PTI's Fresh Snow. I then glued the cut out banners on some twine. The sentiments are from PTI. I sponged the edges of the cardstock with PTI's Vintage Duo. Two simple and quick cards. Now if only I had the Spellbinder's Banner Dies that fit this stamp set :)

This card just makes me smile.

I really like the white wash feel on the base of this one.
