Sweet Sparkle

Happy Thursday everyone and thanks so much for stopping by! 

Today I'd like to show you a card that was made using one of the gorgeous newly released stamps from Whimsy. This is one of the Wee Stamps illustrated by Sylvia Zet in rubber for Whimsy Stamps. 

The stamp is called "Wee Sweet Sparkle". She's been colored using my faber castell polychromos pencils.

As you can see i added glitter to her wings. 

I used a pretty clean and simple sketch again. The beautiful paper is part of the Whimsy Designer paper pack "in the garden". I simply embellished with some grosgrain ribbon, and glitter. And of course had to do some sewing. 

Here is a complete list of products  used:
Stamps: Sweet Sparkle, sun moon stars (sentiment) - both by Whimsy Stamps
Papers: "in the garden (whimsy stamps), neenah white, SU night of navy
Tools: Double scallop border die (Whimsy stamps), nestabilities scallop circle and scallop circle dies
Embellishments: star button, ribbon, twine

I'd love to enter my card to the following challenges:

I had so much fun coloring this cutie!! Not sure if you can tell, but the head was stamped twice and cut out popping it up with dimensionals. I colored the image using my faber castell polychromos pencils. The sky and the edges of the card front were inked with an ink applicator tool.

I also have another card to share today. This one was made for the Whimsy Stamps Challenge. The theme this month is "shaped cards". Just make a card in a non-traditional shape and you're good to go. Hope you get to play along for more chances to win Whimsy Prizes. There are two weeks left to play along.

I decided to make a flower pot shaped card using the gorgeous flowers from the new release set " In my Heart" from Whimsy's MoMa's collection. I stamped the flowers twice and colored twice, then cut them out using my cutterbee scissors. The flower pot template was found on google.com. I added a border using Whimsy's double scallop border die (which coordinates with the double scallop doily die I used on the first card). The sentiment on top was stamped onto a half circle, then I created a tag out of it.

 As you can see on the photo, the flowers were adhered onto the circle. To finish it off I added some ribbon and another sentiment tied onto the ribbon with some twine. Both sentiments are also part of the same set. 

Oh, and just in case you are wondering, I used the direct to paper technique (swipe ink pad over card stock) on the flower pot.

Products used:

Stamps: In my heart (Whimsy Stamps)

Papers: SU, neenah

Tools: double scallop border die (whimsy), circle nestabilities, oval punch, cutterbee scissors

Embellishments: ribbon, twine, glitter

Coloring medium: Faber Castell Polychromos

Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy your day!!

Penny Black and More - Midway reminder

Hi everyone! It has been way too long since my last post! And then I even forgot to post this card for the Penny Black and More June challenge, the midway reminder.

It is almost a day late, but better late than never. So here it is.

 

The theme for the month of June is Clean and Simple.

I used another stickeroo from penny black for this card. It's been  adhered onto card stock and fussy cut out, then adhered onto the card front.

I made the hill using part of an oval die cut. The clouds were done using a memory box cloud die. Sentiment is from a clear set also by Penny Black. I couldn't help but add some paper piercing along the edges too. But to me it is still CAS. Really loving this style! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you'll find some time to join us this month. Don't forget you can enter up to 3 times for more chances to win one of the fabulous prizes! Simply click the logo below to visit the challenge blog.

 

Happy stamping everyone, I'll be back soon with a couple more creations.
