Waltzingmouse Release day has finally arrived!! And I'm so excited!! Claire has designed some fabulous sets filled with so many images and fonts, one could stamp for days and not make the same card twice. :) If you've arrived here from Anya's inspirational blog, you're on the right track. If not, stop by Claire's blog for a list of all the dt members who are hopping today. I saved my favorite card for last. I ADORE the new Lantern sets, and this Little Lantern felt so rustic to me that I thought I'd create an outdoor scene with it. We're avid campers and my son just moved out of state, so I thought this sentiment, from the Light of the World Sentiments set, paired with the rustic Little Lantern, would be perfect to remind him that he's always welcome back home.
To get the patina look on the lantern, I used the "rock~n~roll" technique. I stamped the image with Toffee Crunch Memento ink first, and followed with some "rocking and rolling" in Teal Zeal Memento ink. That's it, and I love the worn look.
I used a huge variety of inks for the background that will be listed at the bottom.
Can you see a mountain silhouette in the background? (I know I covered a lot of it with the trees.) I used the silhouette from the Way Out West set, and then used some torn copy paper for the bottom.
The trees, post and rabbit are from a diecut set called Rustic Sign & Trees by Cottage Cutz.
That's it for today's card. I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peeks and have been a little bit enabled. ;) I know I can't resist Waltzingmouse stamps!!

Outstanding example ! Lamps, lanterns, flickering candlelight. All of these seem to find a way into my holiday decorating.

What a fabulous scene, so warm and inviting. I love those pine trees!
WOW, you've created so much atmosphere in this card, amazing!
What an amazing scene! Great dies, and the background is perfect! Love it!
Your little scene is so cosy and welcoming, and really show the versatility of these stamp sets. I found it hard to see beyond the Christmas applications for these stamps sets - of which I can see many many possibilities.
Gorgeous work, this is such a lovely set.

Fantastic Card- Lots of detail and warmth.
I am seriously about to faint...I LOVE THIS, Tosh! That lantern is so amazing with the patina finish. I can't believe you achieved the look with the rock and roll technique...it looks like a special paint! And the scene, well what can I say? It is spectacular and so warm and cozy! The trees, the little wood post, the foggy moon.... the bunny! EEEK, crazy good and creative!
