My first Tiddly Inks

I just bought this cute digital stamp yesterday. It is my first Tiddly Ink image, and this one was so much fun to color!!


I used my Faber Castell polychromos pencils on Neenah solar crest card stock. The papers are from My Mind's Eye and Prima Marketing, and then Crumb Cake card stock from Stampin Up.

The sentiment is from a new set by Whimsy Stamps (Circle Celebration Pennants).
I embellished this with a few prima flowers, sticky pearls, a clear button and some linen thread, and glitter. To finish it off I did some sewing with my janome mini. Please excuse the messy stitches. My machine started to act strange in the middle of it.

This week the challenge at Tiddly Inks is "Birthday Bash", and I would love to enter it there. I am combining this with the challenge at Do You Stack Up with the theme of sewing. At Digital Tuesday the theme is "your favorite color", and I have to say that at the moment I love to use the color kraft, and of course pink and aqua have always been some of my favorite colors. At the Catered Crop the challenge is "Stitching", so I will enter it there too.

And that is all for today, I will be back again Sunday with my new Penny Black and More card for our April challenge. Hope you'll check back then!

Have a great day!!

I used a sketch from an older challenge at Raise the Bar. Love this sketch, and have been wanting to try it forever, just didn't have any time yet or the right image.

Papers are from My Minds Eye. I embellished with some die cut flowers (using the flowers and leaves die by MFT), some brads, and ribbon. The sentiment is from the brand new set "Celebrations circle pennats" by Whimsy Stamps. I used the new Whimsy Stamps circle pennant die to cut it out.

Whimsy Stamps - March Showcase Day 3

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of our March Rubber & Die Release Showcase!

On Wednesday (21 March) Whimsy Stamps released this month's rubber designs, new Shapeology dies and new Shape EZ templates. From then until 27 March the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!

Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw.


Here is my card for today's showcase. I used the stamp"Birthday cupcake" from the Meljen's Designs Collection, along with a stamp from the new set "Vintage Birthday Tabs 1" from Whimsy's Raindrop Echo Designs. Of course the sentiment was cut out using the tabs 1 die.

What a fun stamp to color and create with!!

I used my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils to color. Part of the cupcake was stamped twice and then cut out and adhered with pop up dots.

The papers are from My Minds Eye and Stampin Up.

I wanted to play along in this week's My Favorite Things Weekly Sketch Challenge again, so I decided to follow their sketch to make my card. Here is what this week's sketch looks like.


I used an oval shape instead of a rectangle, and my bow is on the top right instead of teh bottom left, I thought these changes fit better into my design. But other than that it is about the same sketch.
