Whimsy Stamps and Therm O Web Collaboration Day 1 - Katie



Whimsy Stamps and Therm O Web are teaming up once again for a fabulous week of inspiration and prizes! Be sure to visit both blogs all week long for some amazing ideas and to enter to win!"

I have 3 cards for you today featuring these companies' awesome products:


My first card is so bright and fun and super appropriate given the times.  I had fun making it.  This one is made with a white base and using a stencil and the Therm O Web (Rina K. Designs) Neon Glitz Glitter Gel Hello Yellow.   Once that dried, I added a strip of green paper across.  Then I added the Connected Oval Frame Die cuts in three colors and layered on top of one another.  I stamped the sentiment from the Ant You Sweet stamp set.  Then I stamped the lemons from the set and colored them using Copics.  I also came in and used a paint brush to add a bit more glitter gel to the lemon.  Lastly, I added some yellow sequins. 


For my second card, I started by adding Festive Desert Paper Pack to my white base.  Then I die cut the Arched Window Die using cork.   Then I stamped some cacti from the Cute Cacti stamp set.  I colored them with my Copics.  I used more of the Therm O Web (Rina K) Neon Glitz Glitter Gel, both Hello Yellow and Poppin' Pink on the pots.  I used tape to mask it off and added glitter gel.  When it was dry, I peeled the tape off and mounted them on the card.  I stamped the sentiment on the banner and attached it to my card. 


My final card is fun and bright.  For this one I used a white base.  Then I cut a bit of Gina K Where's the Party Foil Mates and used the Summer Rainbow Foil sheets on top of it.  Then I used distress inks over the top to add color to the background.  Next I cut a bit of white cardstock using Wavy Pierced Rectangle die set. On that I stamped the images from Happy Sky Stamp set.  I stamped another and colored it with my Copics and mounted it with foam tape. 

PRIZES: Each company is giving away two $25 gift certificates - 1 here on the Whimsy blog and 1 on the Therm O Web blog.

Technique Tuesday - Cute Cacti Colour Along

Hi Everyone, it's Faye here today :)

Did you see the Cute Cactus Stamp Set, matching dies and papers released last week? Like you, I get excited about new stuff, so I thought I would share my colouring process as I play with one of the images from this set today. 

Ready? Let's go then!

My light source is coming from the top left, and, because I know I am going to die cut the image when I have finished with it, I have stamped it in black ink on a scrap of paper. I love using something from my bag of scrap card, but it has made a naughty little line at the top of all my scans, sorry about that. Most of the time when I colour, I lay down my medium tone first, to plan where my shading will be. But sometimes, I pull up my pants and just go for it...
