Whimsy Inspires Challenge - Rubber Design Team Inspiration

Happy Wednesday everyone and many thanks for stopping by!

I made today's card for the Whimsy Inspirations Challenge, it's the Rubber Team's turn to share some inspiration, so be sure to visit the Challenge blog to see all the fabulous creations by the Design Team. There are still a couple weeks left to play along in this month's challenge for a chance to win one of the fabulous Whimsy prizes up for grabs. The theme is simply anything goes, so if you are creating something, why not enter it into the challenge for a chance to win!

Here is what I created, using one of Kenny K's stamps from the October release. By the way, Kenny K is going to be selling his own stamps soon, and they will soon no longer be available to be purchased at Whimsy Stamps.I believe all the Kenny K rubber stamps are on sale now since they are being retired from whimsy stamps. If you are interested you can have a peek HERE.

I used copic markers to color the image, it has been fussy cut out, and I decided not to use the background part of the stamp. 

I thought the sentiment from the set "Winter Notables 1" would be perfect to use with the words on the image.It has been cut out using the Notables 1 die.

I kept the card pretty CAS, so it can be used for a masculine card. Simply added the button with twine and a diecut snowflake using Whimsy's layered snowflake die set. Oh, and I needed something on the top corners, so I went with silver brads. Maybe I should have used silver cord with the button too, but that didn't occur to me until just now, and the card is finished, so it will stay this way. 

Products used:

Stamps: News Kid, Winter Notables 1

Papers: SU, Neenah, Winter Blues DP  (Whimsy Stamps)

Tools: Notables 1 die, layered snowflake dies set, 

Embellishments: button, twine, brads

Copics for coloring

WordPlay Saturday - November Challenge

Hello and welcome to the November Word Play Saturday Challenge!
I want to thank each and every one of you that played along in last month's challenge. And I also want to apologize for not having been able to visit all your blogs. October has been a super busy (but fun) month for me, as I had my family from overseas visiting and staying with us throughout most of the month. I don't get to see them that much, so of course I wanted to spend much of my time with them. Thank you for understanding!

Before I get to the new "word" I'd like to announce last month's winner.

Random.org chose #163

That is Shell.

Congratulation Shell, please email me your complete address at ellibelle_blog at yahoo dot com.

Tiddly Inks Special Guest Designer

Hello everyone and many thanks for visiting! 

Earlier this year I was one of the lucky people chosen as a special guest designer for Tiddly Inks. Huge thanks to Christy off Tiddly Inks for allowing me to play with some of  her cuties!!

 Below is my creation for  the latest challenge - anything goes. I hope you'll get a chance to play along in this challenge, as there is a fabulous tiddly inks prize up for grabs!

Here is what I created using the super adorable digi "Lilli Claire -Make a Wish".

She's been colored  using copic markers. The papers are from a 6x6 paper pack by My Minds Eye, which I purchased at Hobby Lobby some time ago. Thought the image would be perfect for a little birthday card, so I added a birthday sentiment from Whimsy Stamps. The flourish was made using one of Whimsy Stamps Flourishes dies, and the beautiful flower was diecut using a MFT die. I added some sticky pearls and glitter as embellishments, and to finish if off I did a little bit of sewing.

Here is another view:
