Mischief Makers--Stamp That Border, Stamp It!!

Well looky here, a little sketch that was exactly what I was feeling like using, I wonder wonder wonder why???

I love love love to piece stamps from different sets together to build border pieces and scallops and such... it is a great way to use the little pieces in all the Waltzingmouse sets, they line up like a dream.... and if you want to you can even throw in some fussy cutting as the industry tends to call it!

So I use a half label from VVL No 10 to build the scallop and then a circle feature from VVL No 5 inside the scallop and some little corner scrolls on the seams of this part.... then a big piece of box pleated card board before adding the top piece, which is a simple scroll repeat stamped... and some super glam "ribbon" to finish off.... I like the glamour that is one colour with a neutral and don't think it necessarily needs a sentiment.... but in saying that had my newest rodents arrived I would not have been able to help myself by hand cutting around one of them for the bottom RHS of this card.

So get your stamps out and see what sort of border piece you can build with your stamps, it could be as easy as one pass with a background stamp or a little bit fussier if that is to your taste... certainly worth a go for your chance to win a free stamp set of your choice, just link up your creation here!

Good luck everyone.... and PS best to have your wish list ready, just in case you win!!!
