Wee Rubber Stamp Cutie

Hi everyone!

Today is the final showcase day for the December Whimsy Stamps Rubber Stamp and Die Release hop. I hope you enjoyed hopping along with the Whimsy Team over the last few days and left comments too for a chance to win one of the daily prizes. Don't forget to check the Whimsy Inspirations blog to see if you were one of the lucky winners!

*****

For my card today I used the super adorable Wee Stamp for Whimsy Rubber Stamp
"Fluffy on the Lilly".

I just love this cutie, definitely one to fall in love with!! I have also used one of Whimsy's new Sentiment Set
"Stylized Notables 1".



Fluffy has been colored using Derwent Coloursoft Pencils and baby oil for blending. I am feeling a little challenged these days choosing and mixing designer papers and somehow I am just liking the simpler cards at the moment, so that is what I made again. And I went with just one designer paper. I believe it's by Bo Bunny.

The sketch was inspired by last week's Sketch Saturday, but I left off a layer so I won't be entering it there. The sentiment was done using the new Whimsy Stamps "Stylized Notables 1". It was cut out using Whimsy's Shapeology die "Notables 1". I love how versatile this Notables Set is, I can use any of my smaller sentiments to add to it. In this case I used the stamp Hello from a set by Crafter's Companion.

I would love to enter this card to the following challenges:

• Everybody-Art-Challenge - Anything Goes
• Craft Your Passion - Things with Wings (butterflies on sentiment)
• Partytime Tuesdays - Use Ribbon
• Stamps & Fun = Creativity - Your favourite material for cardmaking (ribbon - I use in on just about any card!)
• The Cutie Pie Challenge - Use a Sentiment
• Corrosive Challenges - Anything BUT Christmas
• Scrappy Frogs - Stitching

These tickets are so much fun to use!!



I colored the image using derwent coloursoft pencils and blended with baby oil.

I fell in love with this stamp the minute I saw it! It is called "Jumbo Love with accessories". The main stamp is the two cute elephants, there are also two bows included and the sentiment "you complete me". So cute!!

I used my derwent coloursoft pencils blended with baby oil for coloring. The designer papers are by Making Memories.

The ticket sentiments are from the brand new set "Mini Love sentiments" by Whimsy Stamps, and I cut them out using the brand new mini ticket die.

I embellished with some ribbon, a button and some silver cord, and brads, and did some machine sewing to finish it off.
