Sweet Sunday Digital Team Tutorial ~ Digital Magic with Claudia

Welcome Whimsy friends!

I'm so happy that you should visit today,

as we have another fabulous digital team tutorial for you!!

Sweet Sunday Digital Team Tutorials!

The lovely Claudia from our Digital Team has created an utterly fantastic step through
digital tutorial for you! There were quite a number of requests when she shared
this beautiful creation in our Whimsy Facebook Group, with folks wanting
to know how she pulled off this stunning little trick of magic!

So Claudia has put together a step by step tutorial to share with us all,
just exactly how this incredibly clever design was created.

(Don't you just love the striking contrast and rich colours?!)





Claudia used the adorable Cupcake Treat
from our sweet Wee Stamps Digital Collection.
This sweet stamp is also available as a Rubber Stamp,
but to follow along with this tutorial, you're going to want the Digital version.

Check out the video above to see how Claudia took this sweet image from this 'no lines' design

through to the finished design full of colour and magic!

Such a striking finish on the black, but check out the options in the video for combining this with
digital paper designs too! Claudia shows you all these options.

I just love this finished design, the richness of these colours against the black background,
the colours really POP! A stunning design, you can now have a go creating too.

 Huge thanks to our amazing Digital Diva Claudia Meier for this fabulous Digital Tutorial!

We hope you will enjoy creating along with Claudia's awesome tutorial and remember

to share your creation if you give this a go after watching her fabulous video.

We'd love for you to share it in our Facebook Group, so we can join the fun.

You can also tag Claudia there, to ask any questions you may have.

We will of course be back again next month with another fabulous Digital Team Tutorial!

So be sure you stop back then, there's always so much to see and inspiration to be had
here on the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Blog.

The Digital Divas will be back next Sunday with our last showcase for June
which will include the gorgeous line up from our talented Guest Designer.

Have a wonderful week and happy creating xoxo

Sweet Sunday Digital Team Tutorial ~ Colouring with Deni

Welcome Whimsy friends!

I'm so happy that you should visit today,

as we have another fabulous digital team tutorial for you!!

Sweet Sunday Digital Team Tutorials!

The lovely Denielle from our Digital Team has created
an amazing Copic Marker colouring tutorial for you,
using one of our sweet Wee Stamps digital images.
There's even a sheet for you to print off
with Copic Colour details!

Now I'll hand the blogpost over to Deni...

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing with you a real time video for Whimsy Stamps colouring up Iris from the Wee Stamps collection. The image is available in Digital format and also as a Rubber Stamp. I have both of them linked up at the bottom of this post in the thumbnail links.

This is such a stunning image to colour up and I hope you will come and colour along with me (you can find the colouring video at the end of this post and a direct link if you prefer to watch directly on my You Tube Channel here.

I printed the image out onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer - Laser Printers are completely Copic Marker safe and will not allow for any bleeding of the image.

To assist in the real time colouring video I mapped out exactly what colours I was going to use and where I was going to use them on this image. Hopefully this Direct Link works to the download as I have never done this before.

Copic Markers Used

Hair ~ E74, E77, E79

Flowers ~ R81, R83, R85

Scarf ~ E31, E33, E35, E37
Skin ~ E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Dress ~ V20, V22, V25, R81, R83, R85

Pants ~ B93, B95, B97, R81, R83, R85

Wings ~ B01, B02, B04, Y21, Y23, Y26

I began with colouring the skin on the image, I used E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20 for this area of the image.

Moving on to the hair, I used E74, E77, E79, this is my favourite blend for darker hair tones. I worked the hair in chunks rather than doing a flicking motion, meaning I coloured up each of the sections one by one.

Next up I coloured the scarf, I wanted it to pop off the image a little but still blend so I decided to go with a brown combo - E31, E33, E35, E37.

I coloured the pants up as a denim type look so went with B33, B95, B97 and used R81, R83, R85 for the flowers on them as I was planning on using those pinks on the image elsewhere and that would help bring all the details together.

I continued using the pink blend from above - R81, R83, R85 and coloured up all the flowers on the image, this is my most used pink blend of markers and one of the first ever blends of markers I used.

Next I began colouring up her dress, I used some V Markers - V20, V22, V25, they give a nice lilac/mauve type tone and I used the pink markers above to colour the strap on her dress.

Moving on to her wings, I went with yellow and blue, I used Y21, Y23, Y26 to give a nice golden yellow rather than a bright yellow. For the blues I had originally planned to use 3 markers however I ended up only using 2 - the B01, B02, the section to colour was only small and when I started laying the colour down I realised it was going to be unnecessary to add the third marker into the mix. I had planned to go back with my white gel pen and add the white dots back in however I completely forgot and did not do this - I will more than likely add these when I start putting my card together.

I used my 0 Colorless Blender marker to fix up any areas that need the colour pushed back in, then I used it to add some dotted detail to the wings.

Finally I used my Uni-Ball White Gel pen to add details to the image, this always makes an image look completed.

I thank you all so much for reading my post and I hope you will pop on over to my You Tube Channel and Watch the colouring process and colour along with me. Remember you don't have to use the same markers as me, they are there as a guideline only. Use what you have and make it you :-) I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Whimsy Digital Divas March Tutorial

Welcome Whimsy friends!

We're so excited that you should visit today,

as we have another fabulous digital team tutorial for you!!

Sweet Sunday Digital Team Tutorials!

The lovely Céline from our Digital Team
has created this enchanting Magic Slider Card Tutorial
and I for one am really keen to try this out!

Céline's tutorial is a step by step tutorial available in full here via this link.

You can download and print the tutorial and use it as a guide.

Please if you give this a go, be sure to share it with us,

on the Whimsy Stamps Facebook Page,
and be sure to tag Céline!

This is Céline's fabulous finished creation.

What you need:
 Cardstock - white for the slider, card-base and patterned paper
Whimsy Stamps No-See Kinetic Basics Die Set
Pollycraft Digital Stamp - Sugar
Notched Squares Die Set
Birthday Word Die
Foam Tape
Glue
Scissors
Blade
Ruler
Score Board
Die-Cutting Machine

First print the image "Sugar" from the Whimsy Stamps Pollycraft Collection
on white paper and then the same on acetate, Céline's was 6.9 cm tall.

Then create the "frame slide" Cut a 10.3 x 20.6 cm rectangle on white cardstock and fold it in half.
I cut a 10x10 cm square on patterned paper and glued it on my cardstock base (lower part)
Then I used the Notched Squares die (8cm) and centered it on my patterned paper.

I glued my image inside the "frame slide" as centered as possible.

I added some red tape behind the window to glue the acetate.

Put your acetate sheet (with printed image) over the colored image.
Be careful! Your images must be perfectly superposed or we will see something is wrong when you slide.
Then close up the window over the acetate and it will be glued correctly in place.

Cut the "frame slide" opening IN the fold, just leave 0.6 mm on the left and right.
Then create a white card 9.5 x 8.8 which will slide inside the "frame" and slide the end into the slot made in the fold.
Then add some 3D foam around your colored image (3sides) and close the frame.

I cut 2 tags using the No-See Kinetic Basic die set, (I shortened it so we wouldn’t see it)
and glued it in the middle top of the white card. The second tag is glued on the back of the first one.

So now we can pull the tag to drag it up and reveal the colored image.

Create your card and glue your frame on it, decorate and voilà!

We really hope you love our third Digital Team Tutorial. We will be bringing you a new tutorial every month, so be sure to come back and visit often! All the Whimsy Stamps elements Céline has used are thumbnail linked below for quick and easy reference and you can read all about Céline's creative journey with this tutorial on her personal blog which is linked via her image below.

 Huge thanks to our amazing Digital Diva Céline for this fabulous Digital Team Tutorial
