Skippy and Bobbin

I am sharing the sweet Whimsy image, Skippy and Bobbin, designed by Elizabeth Bell today!  It's about -20 outside right now, with a wicked windchill, so it was lovely to pull out some bright & summery colours to chase away the nasty weather...

I tried something a little different with this image, I stamped it in London Fog Memento ink (a medium grey) instead of my usual black, and it made for a much softer image overall.  And since she's gazing away from us, I made the light source coming straight at her from the distance (clear as mud?)  Here's a close-up:

I've popped her up on pop dots, and added some pearls and a little twine. 

 

 Here's what you can find in the OCS store:

Christmas Dreaming!

Hi Everyone,

I have a cute little image from Whimsy for you today called Christmas Dreaming.  Full details are up on my blog this morning....so sorry I'm not posting it here....it's a crazy rushed day!!  You can find it HERE!

Cheers,

Sweet Blossom

Today I'm sharing project using the Sweet Blossom image from Whimsy Stamps for my One Crazy Stamper post! 

I colored her up with Copic markers:  B99, B97, B95, B41, YG67, YG17,YG13, E02, E00, E47, E44, E43, E31, YR27, YR14, Y35, Y21.

I distressed the image edges with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint.

I love using embroidery on a card to dress it up a bit.  This is the first time I used three different coordinating threads to frame my image.  I create a pattern I like, pierce it freehand and then stitch it up!

Designer papers are from BasicGrey's Clippings collection.  I then framed the panel in a 9 x 9 inch frame that my husband made for me.  I left the glass out for the purpose of the photo.

Heidi!

Today's post for One Crazy Stamper features the adorable Heidi image from the Wee Stamps collection from Whimsy Stamps.

I colored her with Copic Markers:  B99, B97, B95, B93, E43, E42, E02, E00, BG000, BG10, E31, Y35, Y21.  I framed her with Spellbinder's Labels Four Die and distressed it with Tim Holtz's Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  

I further framed her with the Spellbinders' Fleur De Lis Rectangle Die that I cut the center out of.  Designer paper is from Bo Bunny's A Gift Of Love collection.

Sun Kissed!

I have a sweet card for One Crazy Stamper featuring the Sun-Kissed Whimsy Stamp and the Impression-Obsession Herringbone Cover A Card background stamps.

I inked up the background stamp with Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass.

Next I stamped my image on the background piece and colored the grass and hair wisps.  I stamped the image again on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers:  E59, E57, E44, R02, E11, E02, B95, B93, B91, YR68, Y38, YG63.

I fussy cut out the girl and applied her over my background image...the touch of dimension is adorable.
I cut out an element from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine collection and added an element from the MME Sweetest Thing Decorative Brad Collection.  A touch of distressing and you've got a cute card!
