There will also be another thread in The Play Room for chat and to play along in our monthly blog waltz game. This time you will be looking for (and counting up) watermarks that look like teacups in the blog posts by the Design Team and Claire. A winner of a stamp set of choice will be drawn from all the correct answers! You'll have until 11:59 pm Pacific on Tuesday May 18th (7:50 am GMT on Wednesday May 19th) to complete the waltz and enter your guess(es).
So good luck to all and let us begin. :)
I'm going to apologize in advance for my photo... it was graduation weekend here in this household so I didn't get a chance to retake my photos.
To celebrate birthdays, I decided to do a bag and a tag this time around. Everyone needs a fun little bag to wrap wonderful gifts in.
For the I used Pic-Nic Patterns for much of the backgrounds.
The tag is created with the heart from Seasons of Love - Tags and the leaves for the berries are from Big Blooms Chrysanthemums. The sentiment comes from Earth Angel.
Just wanted to show the plaid a little more in detail. I actually layered the fat plaid with the skinnier plaid but it's not showing up as well. I'll try to fix it later.
Stamps: (Earth Angel, Seasons of Love - Tags, Pic-Nic Patterns, Big Blooms Chrysanthemums) Waltzingmouse Stamps
Paper, Ink: PTI
Ribbon: Martha Stewart
Bag: Michaels

ReplyDeleteOh, this is just gorgeous. Those colours are just so soft and beautiful together and love the gift bag and tag to match combo. I really want to break out the plaid stamp in that set now and have a go!! Thanks for the inspiration x x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift bag Belinda! That background stamp looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteCute bag - and those big scallops are a great counterpoint to the pic-nic patterns. Aren't the plaid stamps fun? By varying the strength of inks used (offstamping or second generation stamping) it is easy to create depth and realism. I think Claire has unleashed a whole new plaid-fad on the stamping world!
ReplyDeleteOH WOW that plaid is gorgeous! I wouldn't think to put those lovely pastels together with the gray, it's stunning! That tag is too cute with the little leafy top!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous project Belinda! I love the colours!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous. I love the color combination. It's so soft and pretty!
