Christmas Tales

Morning Everyone,

I have another christmas card for you today and the image is called Two Tales by Whimsy Stamps and I have to say, aren't they cute!

I decided not to go with traditional colours and use blue, cream and white, which is one of my favourite colour combos.

I have used the whimsy snowflake border die all around the edge.  The gorgeous crotcheted doilie is just fabulous, love them.

I stamped the Kaisercraft text out onto accetate and then added little irridescent flat bead centres.

Flower Fairy

Morning Crafters,

I am back again with another card using one of the most gorgeous, cutest Whimsy Flower Fairies, these images are just the cutest.  I have also tried out Mariska's paper piecing tutorial, something I have wanted to do for ages.  A word of advice though, I think it would of gone a lot better had I had the correct tools, i.e. the scissors and the correct glue.  I have just used ordinary glue and you don't get quite as much dimension.  The tiny elements on this stamp were rather fiddly but I do love the result.

The little paper bag that is holding the tag was white.  I used my copic airbrush system and BV000 to colour the bag lilac, something I'd be doing more of as I love everything to match.

The Design papers are from Magnolia called Hydrangea.  The flowers are from the Ribbon Girl and BunnyZoe. The gorgeous Emily lace, seam binding and twine  is also from The Ribbon Girl.

The beautiful butterfly is by Magnolia called "Butterfly Kit.  It comes with two different size butterflies and also the butterfly text which I have used just underneath the butterfly here and also can be seen on the left hand side. I have also used a 6x6 brick stencil and snow text to create the brickwall effect and positioned the butterfly onto.

Copic Marker Ingredients:-

Skin E00, E000, E0000, E11

Hair E43, E31, E29, E50

Lilac BV11, BV01, BV000

Cream E44, E42, E40

New Release at Whimsey Stamps

Morning Peeps,

Hope your enjoying your weekend, I have scheduled this post as I am attending the Stamperama Show today and I know a few of you out there will be out spending those pennies too!

Now onto today's card. I was contacted a few weeks ago by Denise from Whimsey Stamps and asked to be a guest designer for the new release stamps, well I didn't have to think for long...........lol, of course I said yes. I have chosen by Kenny K in Rubber, yes real Rubber!  She is called Vicki Lee Vicious and is available from Whimsey Stamps HERE.

Doesn't she rock!

I have coloured her with copics and I airbrushed the background, yes airbrushed, my first project.  Just loving it.

The papers are DCWV sent by my friend Vix along with the Black Magic Coredinations.  Fabulous cardstock.  I have distressed it to bring the blue through.  The looping brads I have had for a few years, bought them and never used them and  this seemed the ideal project to bring them out.

The skull is grunge card, painted with acrylic paint and edged with walnut stain distress ink.

I did add glossy accents to the guitar  so it's nice and shiny, which doesn't show up to well on this photo so I may try and take another when I get home today.
