Waltzingmouse Stamps May Blog Dance

The theme for this month’s Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Dance is felt or cozy fabrics.  I used a small bit of felt to add a whimsical touch to my card for the dance.

I used this month’s Sketch for You to Try as the starting point for my design. The focal image panel is a simple scene featuring the car and driver image from the Half Pint Heroes set. The car’s colored with Copic markers and attached to the scene with foam tape.

I found a red and blue patterned paper to use for the large panel underneath the image.  I attached the panels to the cardfront along with a strip of wide light blue grosgrain ribbon and a pair of narrower cardstock strips that were a perfect fit for the “driving by saying hi” sentiment. To incorporate some fabric, I die cut a cloud from felt and set it at the top of the image panel along with a yellow button “sun” to finish the little scene.  This is one of my favorite little embellishment groupings.  In fact you may have seen it--or will see it--on my blog a few more times this week . . .

Materials Used: 
Half Pint Heroes stamp set (Waltzingmouse Stamps); white cardstock (Bazzill); Memento Tuxedo Black and Paris Dusk inks (Tsukineko); markers (Copic); Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Poppy Parade, and Basic Gray cardstock (Stampin’ Up!); American Made-Stars of Loyalty designer paper (My Mind’s Eye); CutUps Cloud Border die (The Cat’s Pajamas); light blue grosgrain ribbon (Michaels); Lemon Tart button (Papertrey Ink); yellow baker’s twine (The Twinery); Silver Fox Smooch (Clearsnap); white gel pen (Ranger); white felt; foam tape
