Whimsy Stamps - Special NEW ARTIST Blog Hop

Have you heard yet?? Whimsy stamps is having a new artist join their very talented team of artists - Art by Mi Ran! Today is actually the last blog hop day, I hope you were able to hop along with us on Monday and Tuesday! If not you can find the hop links for those 2 days on the whimsy blog, and you have until Saturday to hop along and leave comments for a chance to win.

We are celebrating the debut release of our new Art by Mi Ran Collection! We have 7 new rubber stamps, illustrated by Mi Ran, exclusively for Whimsy Stamps. If you didn't join the hops Monday or Tuesday, you might want to scroll down the page for the links to the DT blogs and hop along for a chance at prizes and to see some wonderful eye candy.

All of the new rubber stamps are now available to buy from the Whimsy Stamps store and selected Whimsy Stamps retailers.

I used the stamp "Painter Pennie" for my creation. Pennie has been colored with copic markers and then fussy cut. 

I created the background by using a stencil and some distress inks. I didn't like the cleanliness of the background so I flicked a paintbrush over it using gelatos diluted with water. 

The grass was done using some designer paper from my stash and a grass punch. I flicked some more color using a paintbrush and gelatos onto the grass too.

I thought a climbing flower would look nice on the brick wall, so I added a flourish diecut using Whimsy's large flourish die. The card measures approx. 4.25x5 inches, I wanted the scene to cover the whole card so I adhered the card front onto the same size card base. 

I embellished with some prima flowers and rhinestones to finish it off.

PRIZE ALERT ... Hop and comment for a chance to win our Grand Prize of 3 new Art by Mi Ran rubber stamps!! We will draw the lucky winner from the comments left on the Whimsy blog and on today’s design team posts (listed below), so be sure to visit everyone and leave a comment to be entered into the draw.
