Toadally Snowy

Hello crafty friends and Happy Tuesday! I am still away in SWF. The Whimsy WW is over and we teachers enjoy a few free days together. Today's card is one of the Make & Takes I had prepared for the Workshop Weekend.

The cute toad is from the Toadally Snowy clear stamp set by Dustin Pike. I colored the image using Daniel Smith watercolors.

Here is a close-up on the toad:

To make the snowy background I used the Snowflake Frame rubber stamp and the die cut snowflakes are from the Shaker Maker Glitter Globe die set. The sentiment is included with the Toadally Snowy clear set and I stamped it on printable glitter paper.

Oval Flowers

Happy Friday Evening Everyone! Whimsy Stamps is releasing a few extra products today. One of them is this gorgeous stamp called Oval Flower by Dove Art. Isn't this a beauty?!

While you are reading this I will be away at the Whimsy Workshop Weekend teaching and having fun with my Whimsy family. :-D
People at the event will also be able to watch me coloring this stamp with Karin Brushmarkers. These fun markers are dye based, fluid ink markers with a nylon brush nib. They have a liquid ink tank what makes them real juicy. Whimsy Stamps is carrying the full line of Brushmarker Pro pens now!

The colors I used to color this gorgeous flower stamp are:

Flower Petals: Red 209, Canary 166, 

Flower Center: Lime Green 071

Leaves: Lush Green 228, Olive Green 281

Flower Background: Arctic Blue 264

Blender

I kept my card pretty simple. I made a watercolor wash background in orange and yellow to complement the flower. I cut out the image and layered it onto a black oval and also added a circle oval frame. Sentiment is the Birthday Word and Shadow die.

Here's a list of Whimsy products used:

Celebrate Illusions

Hello Friends! Happy Monday and wishing you all a wonderful start into the week. My card today uses a fabulous background stamp from the October release called Illusions Background.

This new background stamp makes fast and beautiful cards. I made a watercolor wash BG with several bright colors and stamped the background over it using Versafine black ink.

I made the sentiment using the Celebrate Word and Shadow die set as well as the You're Birthday clear sentiment set. 

Adding some glitter and clear sequins and my CAS card was done! I like the effect of the Illusions BG stamp and the bright colors.

I colored the images using my Karin Brush Pro Markers. I love these waterbased dye ink markers which have a Japanese made flexible nylon tip. (Similar to the ones Copic Sketch markers have.) They are also super juicy & vibrant and can be blended with an included blender pen or with a brush and water.
