Mushroom Mash Up - Whimsy Stamps

Hello everyone...

 I have to say I'm struggling with how quickly the days, weeks and months are flying by!

I swear they are speeding up!

I'm here today to show you a beautiful new rubber stamp and 6x6 paper pack by

Whimsy Stamps

Mushroom Mash Up Rubber Stamp by Deb Davis (Amed2Stamp)

6x6 Paper Pack Floral Impressions by Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

The Mushroom Mash Up Stamp is really beautiful and has a gazillion uses!  

I decided to use it as a 'sort of mixed media' background stamp and made three cards.

I made these cards by stamping and heat embossing the 

Mushroom Mash Up Stamp onto a piece of 6x6 Floral Impressions Paper.

I then die cut an aperture into a rectangle of hammered white card and layered it over the mushroom image.

I randomly added some texture paste through the honeycomb stencil and a die cut fairy from the 

Build -a-Fairy Garden Die Set.

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the 

Beaucoup Bouquet Sentiment Set 

onto the design in black ink and added a few clear droplets similar to those in the 

Saltwater Sparkletz pack.

Whimsy Stamps - Butterflies and Stained Glass Scripture for Easter

 Hello everyone.

I hope this week is being kind to you.

I had such fun making an inky mess last week that have been playing with texture paste and sparkle again!

I have made a set of scripture themed cards - it meant a lot to me to make these, I'm probably not alone in saying that faith has been on somewhat shaky ground recently!

To create the backgrounds I used Magical Powders by Lindy's Stamp Gang.  I have only just discovered these little pots of gorgeousness but oh my word, if you like getting inky they are game changers!

I combined the backgrounds with some beautiful Whimsy Stamps products and have to say I did feel happy with the final designs!

Zen Garden - Whimsy Stamps

Hello everyone... 

Today we have a super mini release at 

Whimsy Stamps

I made some Mixed Media ATC style cards with a beautiful new stamp

Zen Garden Rubber Cling Stamp by Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

and I I really don't know what to say about them! /-:

This is my first (and quite possibly my last)! attempt at anything like this!

I am full of admiration for all you Mixed Media Artists out there - you are incredibly creative and I don't know how you do it!  All I seemed to achieve was an incredibly messy desk and a blister on my forefinger! (:

(...also apologies for the photo fail - we are in a period of very bad light again here and I am having difficulty capturing a decent photo of anything)!

Here's how I made these cards...

Firstly I took a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card and I blended lines of Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar, Shaded Lavender and Tumbled Glass from the bottom upwards.  I then sprayed it with water and let it dry.

Then I die cut the card three times with the largest 

Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die

and stamped the 

Zen Garden image onto it with black ink as shown.

Then I rubbed texture paste through a different stencil on each card and let it dry.

Next I used a red oil pastel (I use Caran d'Ache Neopastels but any would be fine- I think you could also use Distress Crayons for this if you have them), and using my finger I rubbed red hearts onto the design using a die cut made with the 

Slimline Hearts Background Die

as a stencil.

I repeated this process with a black oil pastel and the Polka Dot Stencil.

I then coloured the centre of the flowers with Arteza Pencils.  (I just used three random yellow orange and red ones)

I then flicked Mica Powder mixed with water followed by white paint (I used Copic Opaque White but any would do) over the designs and let everything dry.

Finally I stamped several sentiments from the

Simple Sentiments Clear Stamps Set

onto kraft card, cut them out and fixed them to the card designs as shown.
