Whale of a Time With Sparkle!

Hi friends!

Michele here with a fun card sharing my card using Whimsy Stamp's Whale of a Time stamp set!

It is such a fun set to color and play with!

I colored the images with Copic markers and fussy cut each of the images.  I used Whimsy's new Wonky Window Die to create the background.   I paired it with glittery silver and blue paper.

I always seem to need thank you cards, so I incorporated the new Thanks Word and Shadow die.

I colored the top layer of the word with Copics to give it a gradient effect. I popped up the top two pieces on the back piece with Crafty Foam Tape.

I added a few touches of hot pink for contrast and used a few clear droplets from the Coral Coast Sparkletz collection. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Denielle has used Copic Markers again to colour this fabulous image. You can follow along with her colouring on her blog. I love this fun edgy pair and Deni has coloured them so perfectly. Her clever merge of these two images, creates a really fun Valentine image.

I just love how Sabrina coloured this fun image. Luca is looking every bit the debonair Valentine in this design.

You're SNOW Sweet

 You're SNOW sweet but it's SNOW cold outside...better get Bundled UP!

Today I'm featuring one of the little bunnies in the Bundled Up clear stamp set, I did a post a few days ago using the other bunny in the set if you want to take a peek HERE.

I used the Bundled Up set for all my stamping on this card.  First I stamped the snowflake randomly for the background then added Simply White Nuvo drops to each of their centers.

Then I die cut out a Notched Square and stamped the bunny with Memento black ink and colored him with Copic markers (R83, RV34, C1, C3, W1). 

The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Clair Black ink (love this ink for sentiments).

I matted onto a pink card base and popped up the Notched Square with foam tape for added dimension. 

Hope you have a great day and are keeping your toesies cozy this winter.

  

Thanks for stopping by...see you soon,

Elegant Thanks - Columbine and Hummingbird

I was so excited to color up this newly released stamp with my Copic markers.  This elegant Columbine and Hummingbird is so easy to color.  With all the small dots in the stamped image the shading is almost already done for you.  The hardest part was to decide on the colors I wanted to use as hummingbirds and Columbine flowers come in so many shades and colors.
 

 I think it would make a beautifully water-colored card as well, all you need to do is stamp it in a lighter color to make the stamp lines less prominent.  I know you will enjoy this stamp as much as I have.  I look forward to using this stamp over and over.

When I colored the image, a lot of the colors in the background aren't from your natural Copic blending colors.  I used lighter fun colors for the background to blend with the E81 E84 and E87.  I literally just smooshed them together until they blended.  Because they are the lighter colors they slightly erase the prior colors allowing for an easier blend.

You can find this stamp in the store and if its sold out be sure and fill out the "contact me" so you will be the first to know when its available again!
