This is one of my favourite Waltzingmouse Stamp sets and I love using it in different way than originally intended. The baubles are created using the tree tops from the Teeny Trees stamp set. Memento Luxe inks are fantastic for their rich colour and second generation stamping, perfect for the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Colour Chalenge. However, they take a while to dry so I've clear embossed the baubles to allow me to do a little masking and not have wait too long. The bauble clasps are courtesy of bubbles from Half Pint Heroes and the strings are drawn with silver gel pen. I've used lots of silver for Virginia's View All things Metallic Challenge. Lots of stamping to join in with the Penny Black & More Challenge and the Christmas theme at Stamping Sensations Challenge.
Mirror card, glossy embossing and dull yet surprisingly bright in spots light give rise to 'fun' photography. I've tried lots of angles yet there is too much shine, not enough light or the colours are off. Hopefully you'll get the picture, by taking all the photos as a whole!
