How cute is that??? I was totally in awe while coloring these cuties. For this one I opted for a combination or blue and orange-brown. I think it turned out quite well. What do you think? The background was created using the included Giraffe stencil with Distress inks.

Here is a closer look on the giraffe:

More July Release Inspiration - Happy Bird-Day

Hello Crafty Friends! Here is another card I made with a new release image from Whimsy Stamps. This time it's an image from Dustin Pike called Early Birds.

I love how the background turned out, so bright and vibrant. To create it I used distress inks (wilted violet, picked raspberry, spiced marmalade and twisted citron mixed with a bit of mowed lawn) and a blending brush. To add some texture I sprinkled on some water. The little Early Bird was colored  again with water color pencils (Albrecht Durer-Faber Castell).

The cattails and dragonflies are die cut from white glitter paper using the NEW Build-a-Pond die set. The sentiment is included with the clear set.

Whimsy Stamps July 2019 Release - Magical Horse Scene

Happy Monday & Welcome to the Whimsy Stamps July 2019 Release! There will be lots of new rubber and clear stamps released today along with some beautiful dies and stencil. Make sure you hop on over to the store and browse through the newly added goodies HERE.

Also please visit the Whimsy Inspirations Blog to see more wonderful creations from my fellow CT sisters! 

Here is my first project for this release. I used Horse Scene from the DoveArt line to create this card.

I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white Hammermill cover copy 100lb cardstock and colored with Copics. To create the white water froth around the horses feet I used white shimmery acrylic paint. Don't feel intimidated by these kind of stamps. It's actually pretty simple to color them up. I love coloring them as they have most of the shadow areas already drawn in by the artist. Just use it as a guide and coloring will be quick and also very relaxing as it takes out some of the guess work. If you havent tried coloring one of these more intricate stamps from the DoveArt line give it a try. You will love it!

Here is a closer look on the image:

I also added some flowers to the meadow using a white gel pen and violet and purple glitter gel pens.

The star border was created using the Upon a Star die set. The sentiment is from the 'Mermaid Dreams' clear set and was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto shimmery teal cardstock.
I cut out the sentiment using the second smallest circle from the Pierced and Stitched Circles die set.

Art Journal Page - Happy Place

Hello and Happy Saturday! I've showed you several art journal pages over the last few weeks and here is my last one for now. I call it Happy Place. I used newer and older Whimsy Stamps products to create it. 

I started out with some glossy cardstock and distress oxide inks. I smushed the ink pad (peacock feather) pad onto my craft mat 2-3 times. Spritzed it with water to activate the oxide ink and took my glossy cardstock and swirled it around in the ink. Important: To have all the different layers of color show beautifully through in the end, you have to let the ink dry after each color application and wipe away the dull, hazy oxide film that has formed on top of the ink with a dry cloth/paper towel . Now you can apply the next layer of color in the same way. Do this with all the colors until you are satisfied with your result. Seal the page with distress micro glaze to make it water resistant.

When I was done creating my background I added several layers of stencils and stamped images. I also added some some foil using Transfer Gel, the Swish stencil and rose gold foil. To create the flowers I applied oxide inks, in the same colors I used for my background, onto white cardstock. Die cut the flowers (Peony Flower Die), spritzed them with water and crinkled them carefully while still damp.
