Slimline Hearts Background Die - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Thursday everyone!

I'm whizzing by today with a card made with a fab-u-lous new slimline die from wonderful

Whimsy Stamps

Slimline Hearts Background Die

I have an up front apology here - the photo's are grim!  The card is glittery which is no bad thing but trying to get a decent pic in Gloucestershire winter light was difficult!  This is as good as it gets - I do hope you can see enough to enjoy this card!

I created the inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then splattered the card with water and Mica Powder. 

When everything was dry I die cut the card with the 

Slimline Hearts Background Die

and then splattered white paint over it.  (I do this after diecutting as white paint leaves a slightly raised texture which I rather like and it gets crushed if you add it before die cutting!

I then die cut a piece of purple glittery card with the same die and mounted it behind the inky die cut, showing the edge slightly like a shadow.

I fixed the die cuts to a piece of white glitter card and added a strip of purple glitter card along the left hand side.

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the 

Beaucoup Bouquet Sentiment Set 

onto a strip of torn vellum and heat embossed it in blue.

Hello everyone!

I hope Wednesday is being kind to you!

I'm here today to show you a card I made which is something a bit different from me as there is no colouring!

That said, I had a lovely time creating the inky background and putting the design together!

I used some gorgeous new release goodies from wonderful Whimsy Stamps

Slimline Woodland Cottage Die

Slimline Paper Pack - Frozen

(UK and European friends, you can buy Whimsy Stamps goodies from Dies To Die For)

I created the inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then splattered the card with water and Mica Powder. 

When everything was dry I die cut the card with the

and then splattered white paint over it.  (I do this after diecutting as white paint leaves a slightly raised texture which I rather like and it gets crushed if you add it before die cutting!

I then die cut a piece of white card with the same die and mounted it behind the inky die cut, showing the edge slightly like a light reflection.

Next I die cut a piece of white glitter card with the frame from the 

Slimline Scenic Countryside Die

I fixed the inky die cut behind the frame with tape and the fixed the entire design to a piece of design paper from the 

Slimline Paper Pack - Frozen
 I used foam tape for this to give a slight 3D effect.

Finally I added a sentiment from my current favourite sentiment set 

Simple Sentiment Strips Clear Stamps

which I stamped in grey ink onto a piece of card die cut with a

Quick Strips Die

Whimsy Stamps - Gnome(s) For Christmas ...

 Hello everyone!

I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend!

Oh.My.Word - you know how sometimes you make a card ... and you just get ridiculously over excited...well here is THAT card!

(Thank you Hazel France for such a fabulous photo)!

I made this card with two amazing stamp sets from

Whimsy Stamps 

Gnome For Christmas Clear Stamps by Crissy Armstrong

Gnome For The Holidays Clear Stamps by Crissy Armstrong

and one of the fabulous Whimsy Stamps innovations,

Slimline Card Builder Die 

I have put together a little tutorial to show you how I masked and stamped this Gnomie panorama...

 

I die cut a piece of Kraft card with the Card Builder Die and stamped the first gnomes right in the centre.

...then I stamped and created a mask with my favourite masking paper (Judikins Eclipse) and put it over the top of the original stamped gnomes.  (The best way to create the mask is to cut very carefully just into the black outline so that you can line up you images without any gaps)

I then placed a piece of clear acetate over the card and stamped my second gnome onto it.  I do this as it helps to see what the design will look like and I can make sure the images are lined up how I like them!

...I repeated this with the third gnome...

I then masked the second and third gnomes...

...and stamped the final two images onto acetate again to line them up.

I stamped the two final gnomies and then peeled off the masking paper - the reveal is my favourite part!  This is how the gnomie scene looked - and I have to confess I was pretty happy!

I settled down to do some colouring with my Prismacolor pencils, lashings of tea and the odd chocolate biscuit! - such FUN!

...it was worth every colourful minute!

Thank you so much for popping by!

Take care of yourselves and happy creating!

love from Sue...xxx
