Burst of Colors

Happy Sunday All !  Have you seen the new Whimsy Stamps release yesterday? Today I am sharing a card made using  one of the new products, the NEW AlFA Doodles . I love this versatile alphabet set. It can be colored or just left as it is. For my card I chose to color it with alcohol markers and cut the letters out. I combined the  NEW AlFA Doodles  with the older    Beaucoup Bouquet  flower set which I white heat embossed and watercolored using Mission Gold watercolors. The I fussy cut the flowers. I love how bright the colors of the flowers and letters turned out. To make it even pop more I opted for a black background. I adhered the flowers with foam dots and the letters were glued. I added the image layer to a white A2 sized card base and added some clear iridescent confetti for some bling. Here are the links to the products used:                Hugs & stay safe everyone!

Hello Crafty Friends and Welcome to World Card Making Day with Whimsy Stamps!     We are so excited for you to join the fun today with an amazing blog hop from the talented Whimsy artists.    Each blog will have some inspiration with a card perfect for World Card Making Day. My inspiration card today uses the wonderful, just released, Winter Roses Background stamp. Here is how I created my card: I stamped the large rose image and the single rose image from the  Winter Roses  Background stamp with antique linen Distress ink onto Canson 140lbs watercolor paper. I always use the smooth side of the paper when stamping my images onto watercolor paper. Using antique linen creates an outline that will fade while coloring with watercolors and the image will have a no-lines look. I used Daniel Smith extra fine watercolors - one of my favorite brands if it comes to fine art watercolors. I love their vibrant pigment. After coloring the image I let it dry and did so

Welcome to Day 4 of the  Whimsy Stamps October Release !   Can you believe it's October already??? Where did the year go.....and it's time for Christmas cards again. But that's a fun and easy chore with the super cute holiday images from  Whimsy Stamps !   Click here  to go shopping if you haven't yet already. On my card today I am showcasing one of the newly released Marina Fedotova Christmas fairies -  NEW Christmas Sprite .  Isn't she adorable? She is definitely one of my favorites from this release! I colored Christmas Sprite primarily with Copics but added some details with pencils afterwards (a list of all Copics and pencils used is below). I kept the card simple. I didn't want to draw the attention away from this sweet image. Besides some snowflakes made with  Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White  I only added 3 die cut evergreen trees. I thought they complement the image perfectly. They were die cut using the NEW Evergreen Tree Dies Se
