My first Waltz...

I've recently discovered Waltzingmouse stamps- or should I say a couple of enabling friends have introduced me? :) So I was excited to be able to participate in this month's waltz! You can read more about it on Claire's blog!

The theme was St. Pat's- and they have this lovely freebie that I downloaded & went to town on!

I have to admit, this is the most coloring I've done in a loooong time- I used prismas & mineral spirits. I cut it with a scalloped nestie, inked th edge with chai ink while it was still in the die & stacked it on the cute JBS mini deck paper.

A little May Arts silk & a safety pin from my stash, chamomile ink all the way around & done! Thanks so much for this pretty image Waltzingmouse!
(the best part? I've already given this to a friend- yay!)
