Welcome to Day 2 of Waltzingmouse Stamps June Release previews!
A total of six new stamps is what’s on the plate today, talk about fabulous! I’m having my share with two of them, Funky Feathers and Crackle Background. The latter is being nurtured at length this month, so to speak… apart from the full-sized outlined version as shown below, the release offers a matching reverse and two mini versions as well.
I white embossed my crackles and sponged with an assortment of Versa Color inks, creating a blue-green gradient. I stamped and cut out the feathers from Funky Feathers and arranged them behind the banner with the sentiment from Rescue Remedies Additions stamped in white.

I love the Funky Feathers set, it offers three different styles of them, from realistic to stylized, which is something that you don’t see often included in a single set. Plus, Claire went wild with feathers in this release and so there is one more set up her sleeve this month, called Fine Feathers. Just wait until you see that one too! I need to have it, stat.
One more card for you, this time with the adorable peacock feathers from the set. I stamped them with Memento markers, scribbling different colours on the stamps and trying to create a reasonably smooth transition of colour. I coloured the centers with a turquoise Copic marker and stamped the dot over it, with a Memento marker. Then I applied some glossy accents on it, which you will see better on the last photo below.
The patterned papers made it on the card from my scrap basket, they’re from MME and OA I believe, but I don’t remember which collections.
