SA04: Waltzingmouse Stamps

We're thrilled to have a new month of challenges sponsored by Waltzingmouse Stamps! Many of you I know are all ready aware of this fun company and of it's sweet Irish owner and illustrator Claire Brennan. If you love Nestabilities (and who doesn't??) you have got to check out all the "Nestie-friendly" stamps Claire creates! And that's not all! There are whimsical stamps, beautiful Irish-inspired sets, gorgeous holiday stamps and many more. In fact, there are new stamps being released today so once you're done here hop over to Waltzingmouse Stamps and check out the new products (not just stamps!!).

This first challenge running 2 weeks, 3/1-3/14, is a color challenge brought to us by Waltzingmouse Design Team member Bonnie Sharp. As you can see in the graphic above, the colors are beautiful Spring tones. Translated into Papertrey Ink colors they are Spring Moss, Berry Sorbet, Lemon Tart and a neutral such as white or kraft. So get out there and get crafty!!

We can't wait to see what you come up with! You have until Sunday, March 14th at 11:59 pm to leave a link to your project with Mr. Linky below. Please make sure it is specific to your challenge post/card and not just your blog or gallery (and use keyword SA04 when posting in an online gallery such as SCS). One random winner will be chosen to win a fun prize from Waltzingmouse Stamps!! Have FUN!

Right, I have made another mistake this evening (the first one was when I was ordering stuff from Claire!!!).... I am ONLY meant to link when the project has been made NOT when I want to indicate that I want to join the hop. OOOOOOOPPPSSS Please delete me, maybe even ban me!!! So sorry... I am very very new to blogging and... have run out of excuses!
Hugs

I just adore that WMS set that you used for your card. It is so versatile as are all of her stamp sets.
Thank you for the opportunity to show my card and win something great from WMS. Claire is the best.
good luck to everyone that enters. I love the color combination that was given to us to use.
