Make a wish

Good morning and happy Wednesday!

Today's card was made using one of Whimsy Stamps August release stamps from the Elisabeth Bell collection. This cutie is called "Honeybee".

She has been colored using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and some copics for the skin tones. Thought I'd create another little scene using some dies and punches.The fence die is from Whimsy Stamps, I have also used the new leafy corners die set from Whimsy's August release to create the "vines" around the fence. The cloud die is from Memory Box, and the grass was done using a Martha Stewart punch.

I did some sewing with my Janome, and to finish it off I added some twine and a prima flower and button. The sentiment is from the clear penny black set "Critter Party".

I am entering this card to the following challenges:

• Papertake Weekly -Anything Goes
• Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Summer 
• Stamp and Create -Anything Goes
  
• ABC Challenge -  W for Wishes
• Joanna Sheen Challenge -  Going Dotty

 Thanks so much for stopping by today. If you'd like to see a few more new Whimsy Creations stop by the Whimsy Inspirations blog. 

Have a fabulous day!!

Tall Layered Cake

Last week I was the very lucky winner of Mo's Digital Challenge, and I chose the digi "Tall cake" for my prize. Love this image!

I wanted to play in this week's Digital Pencils Challenge too, and thought this layer cake would be perfect as the challenge this week is "Layers".

I colored the image using copic markers. It was then cut out. The papers are all from my stash, I think they are by SU and My Minds Eye. I used a stamp from the old SU set itty bitty backgrounds because the white paper was standing out too much.

The ticket sentiments are from the set "Celebration Mini Tickets" from Whimsy Stamps.  I cut them out using the mini ticket die. I simply embellished with some layered prima flowers and a button with some twine.

I made this card to fit the following challenges:

• Bronte and Bella's Challenge (Mo's Digital Pencil)- Layers
• Catch The Bug -  Anything Goes
• Pattie's Creations -  Birthdays
• Polka Doodles - Flowers 
• Cute Card Thursday - C5 – faux or real stitches

And that is all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Early Christmas Makes

Good morning everyone and thanks so much for visiting!

A new month is here, and you know what that means...a new challenge at Penny Black and More.
This month we'd love to see your Early Christmas Makes. I hope you'll join us as we have several fabulous prizes up for grabs again.

For my Design Team card I decided to create a card using the super adorable Little Elf Mim, illustrated by Mo Manning, which is now available as a cling  rubber stamp sold by Penny Black. It was so much fun to color!! And I had so much creating the card. My colors were inspired by the designer paper that I purchased last year. 

I used my faber castell polychromos pencils to color the image, and copics for the skin. Glitter was applied to the fur on the hat and dress, and also to the ornament.

The sentiment is from the clear Penny Black set "Holly Jolly". I added a couple of punched branches (martha stewart punch) and a little button with some twine. Then did some sewing and rouned the bottom corners.

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

• Crafting for all Seasons - stitching
• Penny's Paper-Crafty - Sparkle and Shine
• Creative Card Crew - Christmas
• Everybody-Art-Challenge -Anything Goes
• Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge - Stitching
• Party Time Tuesdays -  Anything Goes

 Hope you'll find some time to play along for a chance at one of the fun prizes from our sponsors Penny Black, Stampalot, Art of Craft, Pretty Little Ribbon. Can't wait to see what you make!

Thanks again for visiting!
Enjoy your Sunday!

Little Wizard Owl

Hello and Happy Monday!

It's time for day 6 of Whimsy Stamps August Rubber and Die Release! I hope you were able to join us the last 5 days of mini blog hops for some fun prizes on each day. If not, you still have  couple more days to hop along. Remember you have 24 hours to enter into today's drawing, so until tomorrow 12noon EST. You can find the complete list of stops on the Whimsy Inspirations blog. All winners will then be announced on Wednesday.

I am part of today's blog hop and decided to use the cute Little Wizard Owl from Whimsy's Meljen's Designs.

 

I colored the image using my Faber castell pencils, the hat however was done using copic markers. I really wish I was more patient with my markers, I have so many but I always end up frustrated whenever I use them, so I always end up reaching for my pencils (which I do love). I do however
 like how my hat turned out. Not so happy with the owl itself, I tried to make it appear like feathers, but I am not so sure I achieved that.

I had these googly eyes laying around and thought they would look cute added to the owl.  I created the kraft background paper by stamping one of the flourishes from Whimsy's Lavish Flourishes stamp set using black ink. The sentiment is from an old SU set, it's the same sentiment I cut the Happy Halloween out that I used on my card on Friday.  I added some ribbon and twine, stamped "Boo" (which I got from the Michael's dollar section a couple of years ago), and punched it out. Then tucked it under the ribbon like a tag.

I would like to enter my card to the following challenges:

Clearly Inspired - 2W, 1E, SIO - Week 2, Circles
Crafty Catz - 1E – Ribbons & Bows
Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday – Twine / Ribbons
Crafts and Me - #978 Autumn colors
Creative Belli - 2W - #150 wings (2nd week)

 Ok, that should be it from me, be sure to go check out the rest of the Designer's creation for today. You can find the complete list
 HERE.

Thanks so much for visting!
Have a great day!
