Waffle Flower Crafts - Instagram giveaway!

First order of business:  this is an Instagram giveaway, so as much as I love your comments here, you must comment and follow me @mfergu01 and @waffleflowercrafts on Instagram to be eligible for the prize!  Thank you, for your understanding - I do NOT make the rules!  lol

ALL that to say I've been invited to share a few cards made using stencils and their new-and-improved Shader Brush PLUS Sampler Pack! You have heard me say it before: these smaller brushes really get into those little nooks and crannies so perfectly!

For my first card, I used this sweet Multiple Leaves Combo that includes the stencils, stamps, and die set - it debosses AND cuts!  I started by debossing two sets of these lovely leaves onto an A2 panel of Neenah Desert Storm card stock...


Then lots of autumn-colored inks came to the party...


It was so easy to line up the one-piece cutting die...


But you know me by now - I never waste a perfectly good opportunity to
use the entire panel...


The sentiment is one of the 'ready to use' sentiment strips from 

It's been pretty dreary here this week - I had a mind to bring out lots of color next, using their Fall Leaves Background Stencils AND the Multiple Leaves, too!


I created a leafy 'tornado' using the WF Circle Frames dies! and topped it off with with a fun sentiment from their Rejoice Rabbit set.

Okay... One MORE!

These little guys are sure to come out to play after lights out... 
Who needs the elf on a shelf when these Winter Hamsters are around? 


This stack of Classic Books has been colored with their layering stencils, 
and then cut with the coordinating die.  

I do hope you get the chance to stop over at Instagram for a chance to win this wonderful Shader Brush PLUS Sampler pack of blending brushes - you already know how much I love them for that Collage, right?  Hope to see you at Instagram!

Beautiful leaves, Michele, these are really prettily inked. Your brushes are pretty handy, I'll bet. Then there's those hamsters! How can you look at them and not see all the fun they're about to get into -- well, after the good books are read

Awesome cards... love the pretty leaves and the fun card with the cute hamsters! I did pop in on your IG post too.... had to set up a new IG account recently because I had so much trouble with my previous account! The shader brushes look very handy!

Your cards are lovely, Instagram is annoying however! Only joined it to keep track of kids, otherwise I find it way too confusing...sticking with my trusty computer for all things!
