Hello friends,

We have a wonderful

Whimsy Stamps

new release today featuring a gorgeous image by Barbara Sproatmeyer

Polka Dot Pals Mason

The Polka Dot Pals range are such beautiful stamp sets, they come with a selection of images so you can make your own scene, and also have extra add ons so you can create the faces just how you want them! 

I loved making this card...

First I stamped 

Polka Dot Pals Mason 

in black ink onto card suitable for alcohol markers and coloured her with Copic Markers

Skin - E71, E11, E21, E51, E50

Eyes - E37, E35, E33

Hair - E47, E44, E42

Clothes - B28, B23, B21, C3, C1, C0, R85, R81

Then I cut her out and set her to one side while I created the background.

I want to say a big thank you for Mindy Baxter at My Creative Scoop for the background inspiration and the Distress Ink rainbow colour scheme.

I created the background by first blending Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink over the top and bottom portions of the card leaving a gap for the rainbow.

Then I cut a template with a

Pierced and Stitched Circle Die

and used it to create the rainbow by starting at the top and blending distress oxides in this order...

Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass, Evergreen Bough and Shaded Lilac.

I then die cut the sun and some clouds using one of my favourite die sets,

Up In The Clouds Die Set

I stamped a sentiment from the retired Happy Sky Clear Stamp Set

on to one of the clouds and fixed it to the card as shown overlapping it with a vellum cloud and the sun.

I fixed the clouds and sun to the side of the card so they overlapped the edge and carefully trimmed them off afterwards.

I cut a piece of glitter card to create the ground and the fixed Mason to the design with

Crafty Foam Tape

Finally I layered the design onto a piece of glitter card cut out with the 

Slimline Waves Die

(Wonderful Whimsy Stamps were the originators and innovators for this fabulous range of slimline dies)!

Finally I added some

Crystal Hearts Sparkletz

I love this card - might have to make another! (:
