Special Guest - Waleska Galindo

Hello, Whimsy friends!  Today we welcome the talented Waleska Galindo to the blog!

Hello Friends!!! Waleska Galindo here from craftinglovew. I'm super happy today to be sharing with you my first project for this month as Guest Designer for Whimsy Stamps. I have been a fan of their amazing products for a long time, and I am very honored to be guest designing today!  For my first card I used the cute and funny stamp set "Ants at a Picnic". I mixed this set with the Slimline Meadow Die set to create a fun and relaxed summer scene.

CARD DETAILS:

To create this card I started by die cuttting the Slimline Meadow die set from white cardstock, I then ink-blended this front panel with the new distress ink Rustic Wilderness, I also ink-blended another panel to create the sky for the scene also with distress inks in colors Kitsch Flamingo and Mustard Seed. I love these two colors together for summer. I splashed some water drops for more texture.

I then colored the cute ants with tri-blend markers in colors Dark Red blend, Bright Pink Blend, Citrus Blend and Jade Green blend.  I started creating this fun scene by placing the first two ants into the grass to make them look like they are having fun eating and enjoying a summer day, I love this slimline die set because you can put almost any image into the grass and make it look like part of the scene.

I adhered the sky panel and the flying ant into the scene with 3D foam tape.  I also added some clouds from the Slimline Meadow die. I finally glued this panel to a slimline kraft cardstock cardbase and stamped the sentiment in the corner of the card.

I had so much fun creating this card. I hope you can be inspired to create some fun summer cards and remember to stay safe and stay crafty! Hugs!!!
