Burst of Colors

What a fun release this is - Whimsy Stamps mid month mini release! Do you like gnomes? Then this one definitely is for you! Check it out here in the Whimsy store.  All Whimsy products I used are listed below with links! I stamped the cute little gnome with the kite onto Strathmore mixed media paper using a black hybrid ink. I knew I want to use several different coloring mediums and this gave me options. I ended up coloring this cutie with alcohol markers, pencils and watercolors.  I have some alcohol markers which I do not like to use as much as others. So I had to think of a different way to use them and I tried combining them with other mediums. On my card today I used them together with pencils.  Oh and I will not mention any names of markers I don't like because I feel it is a personal preference if you like a marker brand or not. So for someone else they might be the perfect marker.  What I do is I lay down the lightest color (sometimes light and med...

Hey Whimsy Fans! Again it's release time here at Whimsy and below you'll find my first creation for this release. I used several of the new products (which you'll find in a link list below) and opted for a slimline card (3.5" x 8.5") again. The background is just a simple soft blue inked background. Then I used parts of the Chicken Coop die set and images of the Butt Nugget stamp set to create my scene. I cut out the images using the coordinating Butt Nugget Outline die set. For the hens nests I used the also new Bandana 6x6 papers. To color my images I used Karin markers and the images were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black onto Grumbacker 140lb watercolor paper (smooth side).

I know, I know, it's the third card in a row showing off the sweet octopus but I can't help it 😎 I love them so much 💜 My friends Alanna, Faye and I are doing a mini challenge again. This time we are all playing with the  Octopi Guys ....obviously....LOL. We all use different coloring mediums. Alanna is using Copics, Faye pencils and I used watercolors. Please visit their blogs to see both of their fantastic creations: Alanna Faye Here is what I came up with using Karin markers to color my  Octopi Guy I decided to do a slimline shaker card. I used the Connected Bubbles die and  NEW Slimline Under the Sea papers  to create my background with the shaker element. I die cut the  Connected Bubbles  several times from white cardstock and once from glitter paper. I stacked them with the glitter version on top. This gives more dimension. I then made the largest bubble in the center a ...

I just can't help it, I'm totally in love with the Octopi Guys ♡😍❤😍♡. This time I used one of the sweet characters together with the NEW A2 sized Wonky Window 4 die and the NEW Big Hugs Word die set .  I made the middle window a shaker element and also dry embossed the background using the  Wave Lengths Simline Embossing Folder . I colored the Octopus with Karin markers and cut him out using the matching  NEW Octopi Guys outline dies . I used the NEW Slimline Under the Sea papers to create the background of the other two windows. For my sentiment I die cut the  NEW Big Hugs Word die set  from white glitter paper.

Hey friends! There is another mini release from Whimsy Stamps in the store today and it's ocean-tastic 😉🐠🐙. See for yourself... I used the adorable Octopi Guys clear stamp set together with the Octo Elements clear stamp set and some earlier released dies (seelink list below) to create this scene. I colored this funny guy with Karin markers and a waterbrush. I die cut all the stamped and colored pieces using the matching sets - Octopi Guys outline dies and Octo Elements Outline dies. Then I arranged everything on my card front and used glue and foam dots/tape to adhere all the pieces. The white glitter frame was created using the Wavy Pierced Rectangles die set.
