Whimsy Stamps Pine Bough Background and other goodies!...

 Happy Sunday friends!

Whilst I am writing this post it is absolutely chucking it down with rain and still dark!  - So not very festive at all to be honest!

Hopefully I can change that feeling with today's card with is something a bit different from me but I did enjoy putting it together.

I used some gorgeous goodies from Whimsy Stamps

(UK friends you can find all of these goodies at Dies To Die For)

To make the delicate looking stamped background I painted directly onto the 

Pine Bough Background Rubber Cling Stamp

with brush markers.  (I used Arteza but any would be fine, you could even use straightforward watercolours and apply them with a brush.  

I used a selection of browns and greens and just dabbed them on the star roughly where I wanted the colour to be.

I then very lightly sprayed the stamp with water and stamped direct onto watercolour card.  I dried it with a heat tool (because I'm impatient, you can let it dry naturally)!

Next I sprinkled on some chunky embossing enamel and heat set it from underneath.  

I assembled the rest of the card with goodies from Whimsy Stamps as shown.

In my capacity as a creative team member for Whimsy Stamps, I receive stamps to work with from the company. I also have a collection of Whimsy Stamps products that I have purchased myself. Whether using stamps I have been sent, or stamps I have purchased, all opinions and creative decisions remain my own.  I only work with companies/use products that I love.

I'm here for you...

Hello friends,

I hope today is being kind to you!

I am here to day to show some of my favourite cards, I know these cards are not easy to make but we have some gorgeous products at

Whimsy Stamps

which really help!

Sunflower Background Rubber Cling Stamp

Sympathy Life Goes On Clear Stamps

Creating this gorgeous sunflower image could not be easier!

I used brush markers to paint the sunflower roughly where I wanted each colour to be placed.

Then I sprayed the stamp lightly with water and stamped the image into watercolour paper!

Simples!

To make this card I stamped the 

Sunflower Background Rubber Cling Stamp 

in the manner described above and cut it into a small square as shown.

Then I layered the image onto a smaller square and some

Notched Squares Dies

with some ribbon and sequins.

I stamped the sentiment from the 

Sympathy Life Goes On Clear Stamps 

along the bottom of the card design

To make this card, I again stamped the 

Sunflower Background Rubber Cling Stamp

as I have previously described.

I die cut the image with the largest

Shaker Maker Banner Die

and layered it onto an embossed and the design paper background.  

The paper is from the 

Giraffe 6 x 6 Paper Pack

Finally I added the sentiments from the 

Sympathy Life Goes On Clear Stamps 

along with some sequins -
