Very Merry Christmas

Hello Crafty Friends,   are you all ready for Christmas? Just one more day. To shorten the waiting time a bit I want to share one more card with you. On this card I used several different coloring media as well as a combination of several  Whimsy stamps . Coloring media I used:  Karin Brushmarker Pro ,  Copics, colored pencils and watercolor pencils as well as some white acrylic paint.  I stamped the images (  Very Mice Christmas ,  Mason Jar ,  Christmas Postcard ) using the masking technique onto Strathmore white mixed media paper with a hybrid ink. The evergreen bough was colored using  Karin Brushmarker Pro  pens. These pens are liquid ink filled and very juicy. It's water based ink and coloring with these markers is like a charm. They are available in the Whimsy store for a fantastic low price! Check it out  HERE .  The mice and candy cane were colored using  Karin Brushmarker Pro  pens, Copics and colored pencils. On the mason jar I used Copics, colored pencils fo

Whimsy December Release - Happy Feet

Hello and welcome to my blog today! I m here today with a second release creation. This time another slimline card using the second Slimline die that has been released, called Slimline Waves  die . I'm loving this style of card at the moment. I used the NEW  Slimline Waves   die together with the NEW Penguin Farts clear set and  New Mountain Majesty die set  as well as the new 6x6 designer paper set Cozy Winter  The penguins were stamped onto Hammermill paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. The mountains were cut out from silver glitter cardstock to add a little bit of bling. To add contrast I used dark blue cardstock for the slimline frame. With the white card base and the white die cuts it makes it really pop and stand out. Whimsy products used:                                             Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

Happy 1. of December, Happy 1. Advent and Welcome to Whimsy Stamps December Release! Be prepared for some super cute stamp sets this month...well, like every month, so December is no exception ;-) I used several new products for my release card today: Glitter Globe clear stamp set , Glitter Globe die set , Slimline Windows die , Mountain Majesty die set . To create my card I started out with a white, landscape, top fold card base 8.5" x 7". I then cut out the window frame with the NEW   Slimline Windows die   also from white cardstock. For the background I used a 8.5" x 3.5" piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and inked it up using Distress inks (Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Iced Spruce) and blending brushes. Using the  Slimline Windows die   I die cut it again from the inked pink paper panel. I stamped the images from the  Glitter Globe clear stamp set   onto white Strathmore 400 Series mixed media paper with a hybrid ink and
