Wee Mountain Lily

Hi there Whimsy fans!!

Stephanne here, how are you!?!?

It sure is hot in Kansas as of late!!

I'm glad I thought twice about doing much planting

this year, as it would have most definitely been 

squelched by the sun!!

I wanted to share a card I made with our stamps from this months release, it's the completely GORGEOUS Mountain Lily image by the uber-talented Sylvia Zet. I have given Lily a feathered friend to gaze at by simply taking my previously released Peggy stamp and stamping her tweet friend onto my paper. In addition, I have used one of the sentiments from the newly released Take Flight set by raindrop echo designs, along with its coordinating die cut.

I just wish I could be up in the mountains with her right about now!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

hugs, stephanne

Dream the Impossible

Hi Everyone!  Niki here.  I have a card to share with you today that I created for the last Whimsy release using the adorable Hopeful image from the Wee Stamps line.

Isn’t this image so pretty?!  It think this might be one of my all time favorite images.  It's just beautiful and it’s so much fun to color!
I colored the image with copic markers (listed on my blog here) and used some patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Dolled Up paper pad.  I used a sentiment from the Magical Mini Letter Seals set and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Are you ready for the new release?  Lots of adorable stamps coming out really soon!  Stay tuned this week!
Have a great day!
Niki
