In our Facebook group you will see lots of inspiration with these new stamps and dies and in the store all the new goodies - rubber and clear -  are ready to buy!! We also have lots of fun games going on where you can win Whimsy cash. Yay...please meet the Barnyard Band :-) Oh my how cute is this clear stamp set by Nina-Marie Trapani. Soooo super sweet. For my card I've picked the little piggy and the mouse and stamped this little scene. Using also the music notes, grass and flower stamp from this set. :-D For a change and because I haven't used them in ages I've colored the image with my Derwent Inktense Pencils. Here are the colors I've used: Tan Neutral Grey Red Oxide Carmine Pink Sea Blue Light Olive Oak Dark Aquamarine Sicilian Yellow Poppy red Spring Green Hugs,

Hugs 'n Fishes - Happy Birthday

Image
Happy Friday Friends! Perfect for the end of the week, a happy little birthday card! :-) This little fella is an image by Krista Heij Barber, called Hugs 'n Fishes and was released with Whimsy's July release. Isn't that the happiest little fish? Sooo cute! I only used part of the image and colored using my Distress Ink Markers. The image was stamped onto Fabriano Artistico hot press watercolor paper - my favorite because it's extra white and super smooth. Here's a close-up. I tried to catch all the shimmer I put on the background 'water' but that's quite difficult. I used a Wink of Stella clear brush pen (I loooove these!) for that. It's so nice and shimmery, wish you could see it. This is the whole image   Distress Markers I've used to color: Wild Honey Dried Marigold Abandoned Coral Barn Door Aged Mahogany Vintage Photo Tumbled Glass Broken China Salty Ocean Mermaid Lagoon Evergreen Bough Peaco
