For my latest JUGS post, please click here!
It's today! The FINAL day of the Wplus9DesignStudio's big unveiling!
Our latest and possibly GREATEST stamps made their way out into
blog-land this week, and NOW we're icing the cake!
And I feel like dancing!
So, I released my inner-ballerina....
From the AMAZING "Le Cirque!", the ballerina/tight-rope walker, is taking
center stage on this card - and SHE'S performing! Now you'll have to trust
me on this, because I was a-scared to try to make a video {!}, but SHE SPINS!
Having her shape in the {SOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!} complimentary-shaped
"Le Cirque" die, is SUCH a splendid crafty opportunity! How EASY was this
little spinner to make? EASY peasy! Because I can pop out TWO ballerina's
lickity split - All I had to do was stamp the one side, glue it to the opposing
{pink} side, sandwiching the clear thread between - taped and hidden at the
top and bottom of the oval... Just spin her 5 - 10 times and close card. When
the card is open, she SPINS! How FUN is that!?!
Oh, but wait, don't think that a spinning ballerina is as fun as it gets, when it
comes to GROUP release night at the Wplus9 corral.... Ohhhhh, nooooooo!
CHECK out the GIRLS!

I hope you'll treat yourself to a visit to her wonderful blog - her work is amazing!)
I NEVER get the chance to play along with the AMAZING artist from
the Play Date Cafe anymore, but THIS week, I seized the opportunity!
And NOW, I'm craving a fruity beverage for some reason! {Hee Hee}
Isn't THIS color inspiration, DELISH! Yummmmm!
I stamped this gorgeous flower stamp from Very Vintage Greetings
four times, water-colored the leaves and flowers for layer 1, then
fussy-cut. For the next three, I colored, the cut out the flowers only.
With those three flower shaped, I proceeded with a VERY tiny verson
of the Tim Holtz Grunge Flower, to make this teeny, tiny little sweetheart!
{ I'm diggin' how it turned out! - Home MADE embellies - MUST LOVE!}
Also, couldn't resist letting these babies out of the barn,
to make some cirque-a-licious background paper! Mmm!
Sorry for the blur-factor, but I just wanted to share the
effects of masked and sponged background FUN! {!}
~ poor photog skills were NOT cooperating~
So EASY and FUN!
These two sets REALLY spun me...!
...In a MOST glorious way! THANK YOU, thank you, THANK you for
all of the collective excitement and darling words of encouragement!
I love sharing the joy of Dawn's breath taking line of stamps and
jaw-dropping dies - they ARE such a fine compliment to the fun
and possibility of her stamps! And it's ALL about the FUN!
Hope your week HAS been kind and crafty to you!
Thanks, again, for making mine FABULOUS!
