Woodland Critters Clear Stamps - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello friends!

I'm caught in a dilemma, I can't decide whether posting pics of pretty cards on social media, given the current situation in the world is inappropriate or a welcome distraction.  What a truly horrific and completely unnecessary turn of events we are witnessing!

Given the absolute bravery and determination of our sisters in creativity Yana Smakula and Lesia Zgharda I am carrying on for now 

Today's card is made with a cute stamp set released yesterday by 
I decided to make a circular card - I love them and realised I have nt made many recently.

I created the background with Distress Oxides.  (I'll pop a link to my background tutorial at the end of this post)

I coloured the cute critters with Copics and cut them out.

I thought this was such a simple but effective card design and the Woodland Critters Stamp set is beautiful so I may do more!

Whimsy Stamps New Release is HOT! - Mini Slim Notched Hot Foil Plates

 Hello everyone,

I hope you have nice weekend plans!

I am off to a craft fair to catch up with my besties Tracy and Faye!

Today's card though is equally as exciting!

Wonderful Whimsy Stamps has released a beautiful hot foil plate!
with matching dies,
I created this card by blending distress ink over the opposing corners of a piece of card.

I stamped the beautiful flowers from the 
on top of the ink and coloured the flowers with Copics.

I added some white paint to the flowers tips to lift them a bit.

I used the smallest mini slim foil plate with silver hot foil to create the background for the sentiment.

The sentiment is from the 
Sympathy Life Goes On Clear Stamps Set.

I finished the card by adding some white and silver dots around the flowers with gel pen.
