Are you partying with your Waltzingmouse friends today? Its a good place to be - so many sweet people to meet! Every month Waltzingmouse Stamps hosts a blog party. This month's inspiration photo was selected by Design Team Member Lynn Mercurio (Did I mention that Lynn loves Turquoise?). You could be inspired by any of the elements in the photo - the colors, the clean straight lines, the ornate furniture - and use any Waltzingmouse set that strikes your fancy to make your creation.
I focused on the color swatches across the bottom for my design. The chair against the wall in the photo made me think of a ball - the chairs put to the side to make way for the dancers. This inspired me to use the "You are Lovely" set and make a beautiful ball gown. I stamped my frame in grey and then masked it off. I then stamped the dress form in gray on the label. I stamped the actual dress in turquoise ink onto embossed turquoise paper twice. I fussy cut both and layered them with pop dots to add shadow and the impression of the folds in the fabric. Here's a close up.

And he was one step ahead of me on the beer front :) He's lounging now in the back yard in our tree swing reading a book about coins...and he thinks stamping is boring, chuckle!
