Waltzingmouse Stamps – August Releases – Preview Day 3


Blog friends, I hope today is a glorious one for you!  First of all I have to say that some of my all time favorite quotes have to do with light or the way being shone.  It’s a recurring theme in my life that strikes at the heart.  No better way of discovery than the pathway that’s lit, even figuratively.   Now, having said that, only you can imagine how excited I was when the same theme cropped up in new Waltzingmouse Stamps.  Today I’m working with Light of the World, Bright Season and Little Lanterns – sigh!   

Here I’m using the small lanterns.


This is the largest lantern – love!!


As always, an opportunity to use bling!!

    These cards are so dramatic and beautiful. The second one in particular enchanted me. The lantern looks 3D. Is that possible or is it your clever presentation. Also, I have never mentioned how much I like the way you stage your cards. The background is always appropriate, beautiful, artistic and very Becca’ish. That means great!ReplyCancel

  • SandieAugust 23, 2012 - 6:15 am

    Absolutely STUNNING as always Becca. Love what you’ve created with these stamps and I NEED a tutorial on how you do your luscious bows!!ReplyCancel

  • Ann RobbinsAugust 23, 2012 - 7:01 am

    Oh, Becca these are fantastic. Like the big lantern and the colors you chose. Love that bling, girl!! Always does so much for a rather simple card and of course, your bows are the most outstanding I have come in contact with. I have to order that bowmaker of yours after vacation. Your tutorial makes it look SOOOOOOO easy!
