WMS June SOAP - Day 4

Hi there! Today is Day 4 of the Waltzingmouse Stamps Stamp of Approval Parade. Today is our rewind day, where we pull out an old set to use - today its Free Spirit - Boy, just in time for Father's Day!

My first card was so simple, I felt a little like I was cheating!

I just used one of the tribal patterned stamps to create the pattern. The sentiment, from Free Spirit - Sentiments, is the perfect compliment.

I couldn't leave you with just that for today, so here are some more goodies using Free Spirit - Boy.

This card is for today's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge. Isn't it cool that this bright, summery card came from a 'boy' set?

And one final project. Can't forget the other guys in the family, too!

I stamped the circle cluster and then embossed it with Distress Embossing Powder. Have you ever tried this? It contains crystals that don't stick when you heat emboss it. So after you emboss your image, you brush the crystals off and it looks like your image is distressed. Cool!

I hope that you have enjoyed and have been inspired by the creations we've shared over the past few days of our Stamp of Approval Parade. I know I have enjoyed the opportunity to highlight last month's sets again as well as Free Spirit - Boy. Now its your turn, as we invite you to participate in a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) competition.

Here are the details: choose a card or project from any of those posted over the past few days by the WMS Design Team, CASE that project using Waltzingmouse Stamps images, and link it using the Inlinkz on the WMS Blog. At the end of the competition, one project will be randomly selected to be highlighted with a Parade of its own on several of the Design Team blogs.

We hope you will enjoy this competition and that it will inspire you be creative. You have one week to complete and link your project as the competition will close at 8:00 AM Claire’s time on June 10th (That corresponds to 3 AM Eastern, 2 AM Central and Midnight, Pacific time). The winner will be announced on the WMS Blog on April 11th. I can't wait to see what you do!!

Here are the other ladies for today!


Thanks for stopping by!
