Gnome For The Holidays - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello friends...

Today I have something a bit different to show you!

This card was a challenge and I have to be honest I nearly gave up! 

I'm fairly happy I stuck with it!

I stamped the gorgeous gnome onto black cardstock using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide (Thank you to my lovely friend Elaine Marker Geek for the ink advice)!

I coloured him with Prismacolor pencils and added some sparkle!

Finally I added the die cut and stamped sentiment!

Cutie ABC and Slimline Cornered Rectangles Dies - Whimsy Stamps

Happy Thursday Friends! 

I hope all is well in your worlds! 

Today I have two super new products from 

Whimsy Stamps

to show you!

Cutie ABC Die Set

and

Slimline Cornered Rectangles Die Set.

I mixed these up with one of my favourite stamp sets

Hello Bear Clear Stamps.

I thought this gorgeous image went perfectly with the 

Slimline Cornered Rectangles Die Set

and 

Cutie ABC Dies.

I stamped the bear onto Kraft card and coloured him with Prismacolor pencils, (I'll pop a list of the colours at the end of this post for you).

I then used one of the cloud dies from the  

Grass and Cloud Edger Die 

to create a stencil so I could ink some clouds around him.

I cut the Bee Mine sentiment from the same Kraft card with the

Cutie ABC Die Set.

I then layered the image onto the largest

Slimline Cornered Rectangles Die

and added some details with a white gel pen.

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*

Happy creating
