Burst of Colors

Happy 1. of December, Happy 1. Advent and Welcome to Whimsy Stamps December Release! Be prepared for some super cute stamp sets this month...well, like every month, so December is no exception ;-) I used several new products for my release card today: Glitter Globe clear stamp set , Glitter Globe die set , Slimline Windows die , Mountain Majesty die set . To create my card I started out with a white, landscape, top fold card base 8.5" x 7". I then cut out the window frame with the NEW   Slimline Windows die   also from white cardstock. For the background I used a 8.5" x 3.5" piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and inked it up using Distress inks (Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Iced Spruce) and blending brushes. Using the  Slimline Windows die   I die cut it again from the inked pink paper panel. I stamped the images from the  Glitter Globe clear stamp set   onto white Strathmore 400 Series mixed media paper with a hybri...

Happy Saturday! Today I want to share my class project from the Whimsy Workshop Weekend in October. I was teaching a no-lines watercolor technique using Daniel Smith Watercolors and the beautiful Winter Roses Background stamp from Whimsy Stamps. But before I do so I want to let you all know that Whimsy Stamps is having an awesome sale going on for Cyber Monday! Click the badge to get to the digital section in the Whimsy store! So and here is now my no-lines rose card: I love these roses! They are super versatile and can be used for so many occasions. A couple weeks ago I shared a card using these roses where I used the same no-lines technique but for a Christmas card. Check it out here .   I used pink, purple and red for the roses and two different greens for the leaves and background. The no-line watercolor technique makes these roses look so natural and life like. To give all the attention to the image and water coloring I kept the card very simpl...

Happy Saturday! Here is a cute little birdie birthday card I made recently. The image is from the adorable Tweetie Pie clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps. I colored the cute birdies with pencils (Polychromos, Prismas and Luminance) and fussy cut them. For the background I cut out a circle from a piece of masking paper and inked the circle with Distress Inks (tumbled glass, wilted violet, blueprint sketch) on a white piece of cardstock. I then stamped the branch with Versafine Clair Pinecone ink. The sentiment and the music notes were stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. Using foam tape I adhered the birds to the background panel and layered it on to a blue cardbase.  I added Stickles Stardust to the snow on the branch as well as to the birds hat and scarf. A few clear sequins and a blue seed bead finish off my card. Here is a link list of Whimsy products used:                    ...

Hello Everyone , I am sharing a card today where I used the no-lines watercolor technique to color these beautiful roses from the  Winter Roses  Background rubber stamp. I stamped the image with Antique Linen Distress Ink onto cold press watercolor paper. The light color of the Antique Linen ink will blend into the watercolors while coloring for a no-lines effect. To color the roses I used Daniel Smith extra fine watercolors. To create the background I used the  Farmhouse Basket stencil  and Shabby Shutters Distress Ink. The sentiment is from the  You're My Jolly  sentiment set and was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. To create more texture and for an artsy look I've added pink and green watercolor splatters as well as white acrylic paint splatters. A few clear dew drops finish off my card.  Here is a link list for all the products I've used that are available in the Whimsy store:     ...
