Mixed Media Butterflies Tag

Image
Happy Weekend All! I had a play with my new Distress Crayons today ...soooo much fun to get a bit messy and play with all the ink, crayons, paint, paste etc. I decided to go mixed media and made a tag using Clearly Whimsy's Flight of the Butterflies set, the Honeycomb Pattern die, the Butterfly Stencil  as well as the Clearly Whimsy "Lovely Lavender" set. Hope you like it! Enjoy your weekend. Hugs,

Whimsy February Digi Release - You Are My Valentine

Image
Hello Friends and Happy Groundhog Day! Hope the weather is the nicest wherever you are! ;-) Guess we got lucky, here it is sunny and blue skies...just perfect :-D Did you see the N ew Digital Products that were released yesterday. Super cute images by Crissy Armstrong as well as papers and Sentiment sets and papers by Tracy Wray. Click HERE to have a look. They are absolutely gorgeous! I had a play with the adorable New Digital Penguin Valentine and also used a sentiment from the New Digital Various Occasions Sentiment Set. I colored this little love bug with my Copics. It is a CAS one layer card and I wanted to add some kind of embellishment without over doing it. So I decided to add some stitches using the recently released Clearly Whimsy set In Stitches . Aren't they fantastic? I think they look so real! I love this set. Make sure you visit our facebook group HERE for even more Whimsy inspiration. thanks for visiting today! Hugs!

Lovely Monstery Shaker Card

Hello Everyone and Happy Thursday! Today I want to share a fun Shaker card with you. I used the super cute Love Day Monster clear set from Whimsy's January release as well as the brand new in store Valentine Sequin Assortment I colored the little monster with Copics as well as the heart with the arrow which is from the same set. The word die was cut out from white glitter paper and is from Whimsy's Shapeology Collection from the Card Builder - Hearts of Love Set . The DP is from an older Basic Grey set called Kneehighs.

If Friends Were Flowers.... - Whimsy Stamps 'Loveley Lavender'

Image
Hello All ! This is a CAS card I made using the newly released Clearly Whimsy Stamps set "Lovely Lavender" . I made the background using Faber Castell Gelatos. After the colors where dry I stamped the flowers and saying using Versafine ink black. The little butterfly was heat embossed using a garnet colored embossing powder. I added some violet Stickles to the smaller lavender flowers and on the tall flower I used a clear gel pen to add some bling. On the inside I stamped the second part of the saying and again the large flower, to match the outside. This time I used Memento ink. The first time I stamped using LULU Lavender and a second time Sweet Plum to match my colors on the outside. Thanks for visiting! Iris

Whimsy Butterflies Stencil "How - to"

Image
Hello All and Happy Monday! Did you see the awesome newly released Butterflies Stencil in the Whimsy store? I love how versatile it is and want to share some ideas with you on how to use it in different ways. The stencil is 4 x 6 inches in size and 0.188mm in thickness. It is made using a smooth plastic and both sides have a slightly shiny surface which makes clean up real easy. To enjoy your stencil for a long time I recommend storing it flat and clean it up right after each use. Sponging with inks, paints and stains are one of the most common techniques to use stencils. While you can achieve beautiful effects with these techniques, I love to add dimension to my cards and projects. Here I am using a 3D paste with a nice pearlescent pink shimmer (Nuvo Embellishment Mousse). I've placed the stencil over my cardstock and secured it with some Washi tape to keep it from shifting. (I always work on a Teflon sheet covered work space - makes cle
