Wee Freddie

Happy Wednesday Whimsy fans and thanks so much for visiting!

 Ellie here today, my turn to share a Whimsy creation with you!

 For today's card I used the super adorable stamp "Freddie" from Whimsy's Wee Stamps collection.

 

After coloring with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, I fussy cut the image. I left out some of the thin lines when fussy cutting, that's why the little heart is attached right at the end of the tail and not at the end of the thin line as seen on the actual image. 

The sentiment is from a Wee set also available at Whimsy Stamps (Flower Fairies). I thought it was perfect to use with Freddie too. It wasn't originally planned to fussy cut the image, but after choosing this pretty paper, that matched my coloring perfectly, I didn't want to cover it up, that's why I decided to fussy cut. Unfortunately this paper is  no longer available, it was also from Whimsy. I finished off by adding some extra flowers to the top (which I cut out from this designer paper) and I added some hemp twine. The sentiment has been popped up with dimensionals. 

I hope you liked my card today. Thanks again for visiting, and wishing you all a 

Happy 2016!!

Rudolph

Hello!! It's Linda here and I'm super happy to be joining the DT over here at Whimsy Stamps :)

To kick off my first post I'm sharing a Christmas card (yes, yes I know, but I was late making them so I'm late sharing them lol, besides you can never start too early on getting some made for this year right?!), made with Wee Stamps adorable little Rudolph.

I have to admit that I just fell in love with this little guy as soon as I saw him, I mean, how could you not? Isn't he cute? I just love Sylvia Zet's images, they are always super sweet.

I coloured him with my distress ink markers to match these pretty Kaisercraft papers - Silver Bells.

You can find the colours listed over on my blog.

I added some Glamour Dust to the bauble and bead, (I think this might have been meant to be a berry, but I wanted more sparkle!).

I don't have a photo of the inside of the card this time as I'd already written it out before I took photos duh!

Well that's all from me today, I do hope you enjoyed my make, I'm looking forward to sharing more with you in the coming weeks/months, (I've been playing with some of the new release stamps for January and I can't give anything away but I can say they are Fab-U-lous!)
Bye for now

Linda  :) xx
