Make My Monday #104 - With Whimsy Stamps

Hi all,

I'm back today with another post this time for the Make My Monday Challenge #104, This challenge has been chosen by the lovely Dawn, and it's to use shapes on your card, it can be Circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, etc...

I've gone with circles ...

I die cut a panel of pale blue/green card and I adhered the die cut circles to the panel, the mermaid tales have been coloured with Copics and fussy cut out so I could tuck them in under the circles, I wanted the circles to represent the bubbles created when the mermaids are diving under the water...if you get what I mean LOL...

The sentiment is from the same set too called Mermaid Dreams.  To finish the card I just added some droplets, sequins and rhinestones... and a wee drop of nuvo sparkle, well you have to have some glitter don't you...

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the rest of the cards made by our amazing design team, and I do hope we have inspired you to take part!

Whimsy - Mermaid Dreams

Hi all,

I tried to finish this card last night but the light wasn't very good, so I thought I would wait until this morning..and I woke up with vertigo arhhhhh It's for the new challenge over on Sweet Stampin, Magical Makes  EDITED I GOT TOP 3

And I thought that this new stamp by Whimsy was perfect for the job!

Ive stamped the image using inkon3 Fade out ink, and coloured it with my Prismacolor Pencils.  Ive used distress oxide ink at the bottom of the card in Tumbled glass, and then I splattered it with gold and silver starry colour paint.and added a few sequins.

Im also entering this into Addicted to stamps and more - Challenge #352 - Make Your Mark

Thanks for stopping by and I do hope you like my card!

Its the Weekend with Whimsy Stamps

Hello!

The weekend it's just around the next corner...well in Australia, it's actually here!!

So today I have been practising my colouring with no lines...with inkon3 Fade out ink, unfortunatly it faded out before I could finish my image LOL... It was on some cream eco friendly paper I had been gifted... so I thought I would try the white, it's a heavy 300gsm/140lb paper that has a medium tooth, perfect for pencils..and it is also eco friendly... The image was a new stamp I bought called "Puppy with Balloons" by Whimsy, I do love their stamps and digital stamps too!

I posted a quick photo on Instagram of my colouring,

He's adorable.... 

I couldn't wait till next week to use him.. so I messed (sorry created) around this afternnon and made a card.  Now there is a story behind this card..My friend needs a 40th birthday card for her Photography teacher, and she's having a cake smash...I really wanted to do a hippo in a tutu dancing around a cake...but she may take it the wrong way..  so I came up with this card as my friend and the other students in the class and the teacher, are always trying to compete with photo's of the sky and clouds and get them on "Jane Bunn's channel 7 news"

The panel has been stenciled using the MFT cloud stencil in Chipped sapphire, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet.  I used the Lawn Fawn Cloud dies and cut two of each out of vellum, blue glitter floam and white cardstock, the white clouds and the main panel have also been die cut using a stitched rectangle die so it all matches up.

Puppy has been mounted using foam tape and the 40 has been die cut from the same glitter foam to match.

The sentiment is Clearly Besotted - Feeling Sentimental.

Here's a closer look...

I'm going to enter this into the SSS Wednesday challenge - Add a number.
