Mermaid Isabelle Rubber Cling Stamp by Crissy Armstrong

Isn't she just the.most.beautiful!

I stamped her onto Bockingford Watercolour Card in black ink and coloured her with Polychromos.

I blended Distress Inks in 
Tumbled Glass, Scattered Straw and Salty Ocean to create the background.

I added some Star Dust Stickles bling and a glitter card background.

Finally, I added a die cut sentiment, some twine and a charm!

I loved colouring this beautiful image!

Penguin Ray is a hero!...

Hello everyone,

Today's post is special and tinged with sadness and admiration!

 Our lovely Crissy Armstrong has drawn the most beautiful image to honour her brother Ray who is undergoing treatment for cancer - she has called this little fella

Penguin Ray

The thoughts and prayers of the Whimsy family are with Crissy, Ray and their family - cancer is *insert rude word* cruel and heartbreaking!

All proceeds from the sale of this very special digi image are going to 
The Make A Wish Foundation Of Canada

To make my card I printed 

Penguin Ray

onto watercolour card and masked him with masking sheet.

The background is created by blending Distress Oxides in Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch and flicked them water and Perfect Pearls to give some texture. 

The image is die cut with the largest 

Pierced and Stitched Circles Die

I coloured 

Penguin Ray

with Polychromos, adding a few white dots to the chemo bag.

I die cut a tag and stamped the a sentiment from from the 

Halloweeners Clear Stamp Set 

onto it.  (I really like that sentiment and thought it was perfect for this card)!

The image is layered onto a larger circle, with an added the tag.  Finally I and painted Penguin Ray's beak with some Glossy Accents.

Penguin Ray

has been released this week as a digi

and all the proceeds are going to

Soft Kitty

Happy Monday! This is Jeanette and I am here to share the card that I made using the new Adopt Don't Shop CATS Clear Stamp Set that was released this month.  It is an awesome set and I LOVE all the sentiments that are included!

I colored the sweet kitties as well as the surrounding background using Polychromos pencils.  I love how soft the coloration looks.  

I then cut out the image using the Peekaboo Window 3 Die.  I stamped the circles using the little paw stamps that are including in the stamp set.  I then die cut the Peekaboo Window 3 Die once again using some wood-grain, textured card stock. 

I adhered everything to a light, aqua colored card-base.  The wood-grain panel was adhered with some 3D Foam Adhesive Circles so that it would sit up off the focal image.  The sentiment which also is included in the set was stamped and then die cut using the Quick Strips Die Set.  This is such a handy set to have around as there are different sizes and shapes for all your sentiment needs! This was adhered with more adhesive circles.

Fall in Love!

Hi to everyone!  Laine here with a cute wall hanging featuring the sweet digital stamp Penguin Fun in Fall by Crissy.  Don't you just love the fall season and walking through those crisp and crunchy autumn leaves.  This will really brighten my craft room wall as the days shorten!

The image was printed onto stamping card and coloured with a mixture of Copic and Spectrum Noir markers.  Extra detail and depth was added with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.  Distress Inks provide the sky.  Papers from the Aqua Breeze and Rainbow Polk Dots Digital paper collections have been printed, cut to size and mounted onto mats.  Die cut,stamped and punched detail have been added.  Burlap ribbon and lace are from my stash.

Join us at Whimsy Stamps and Inspiration on Facebook for creative inspiration from the team. We would love you to share your own Whimsy Stamps creations!  

Further details for this project are on my blog.   Until next time, happy crafting everyone!
