Sketched Elephants

Hello Whimsy Friends, happy Tuesday!

So did you fine peeps like the last release, they were all just too cute,

 must have's very last one of them. I have something old and 

something new to share with today. 

For my DT inspiration today I have used Sketched Elephants 

form the Clearly Whimsy Stamps collection the artist and illustrator is 

Nina-Marie Trapani, I have had these little beauties in my collection for a 

good long while so I thought it was time to ink them.

I used the co-ordinationg Elephant dies to raise the dear little

Elephant out of the frame. The papers are from the new 

release and they are called Fresh Rose they seemed to set of 

the image and the Honeycomb Pattern die perfectly, and for the finishing touch

I used Summer Breeze enamel dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do hope that I have inspired

you to have a go at making a card today. Take care good people 

and I will see you fine ladies & gents here again next month.

Hugs Bridget :) xx

Wishing You the Happiest

Hi Whimsy friends and happy Friday. I've got a real CAS card to share with you today using the super adorable Sketched Elephants stamp set that was released last month. For this card, I decided to keep things easy and didn't do any coloring of the image although I did lay down just a bit of a warm gray copic underneath the elephant to ground him just a bit.  Lots of black and white with just a hint of red for a pop of color.  

Here are the products I used today that you can find in the Whimsy Stamps store, linked above.

Interactive Card

Hello everyone!! I'm Ellen and super happy to be a new clear design team member. Today I like to show you my first blogpost; a tutorial to make an interactive card.

1. First I started with creating a focal point, a folded heart (Whimsy product: Sketched Elephants Dies). To make it, you need to fold a piece of paper and lay the heartdie so that the die overhangs the folded edge.

2. The next step is to punch out two small holes in the heart and distress ink the background at the outside and inside.

3. Let's start decorating! To give the heart again a pointy end, I've die cut a piece of the heart 2x (one for the front, one for the inside) and colored it so it looked like grass. After that I made my scene with critters, the tree and stamped my texts (Whimsy products: Hedgehugs & Handmade From Me)

4. The last step was to make my card base.

This is how it looks with a little gold bow and sequins:

 
When the card is open, your recipient get's an unexpected nice message:

  

Have a great day!
