Polka Dot Pals Vera and Imogen - Whimsy Stamps

Happy Monday friends.

I hope you had a peaceful and Happy Easter weekend.

Ours has been lovely and today it is snowing!  o-:

Today's card is one that has been on my mind to make for a while.

I knew I would have to commit some quiet time to it and this weekend seemed perfect for that!

I have used some of my favourite images, Polka Dot Pals by Barbara Sproatmeyer for 

Whimsy Stamps

I also had to engage my technical brain and do some mirror image stamping! 

I meant to take some pics to show you how I did it but I got so caught up in the process and excited by the fact that it worked so well that I completely forgot! /-:  

I'll take some next time!

I had a few panicky moments - adding the background definitely bought me out in a sweat and I have always found hair a particular challenge!

I want to say a big thank you to lovely Barbara for creating these beautiful images and for always being so lovely and inspirational!

Here's a few WIP photos so you can see what a jumble of pens and pencils I always work in! (: 

                     

                                

I mainly used Copic Markers and added some details with Prismacolor Pencils.  (I'll add the details of the colours I used at the end of this post for you).

Ingredients from Whimsy Stamps

Polka Dot Pals Imogen Clear Stamps*

Polka Dot Pals Vera Clear Stamps*

Build-a-Fairy Garden Die Set*

Comic Speech Bubbles Die Set* 

Simple Sentiments Clear Stamps*

DecoArt Crystal Glamour Dust*

Thank you for popping by today, have a lovely Bank Holiday and look after yourselves!

Happy creating

love from Sue...xxx
