For today’s card I've used one of Cathy Delanssay's new stamps called "Fee 2". I've also used the new "Fluttering By" Sentiments (with the included butterflies!) by Simonne Clay Designs, and "Notables 7 Die" by Raindrop Echo Designs.

I coloured the image with Copic markers, and sponged around the edge with Distress Ink 'Antique Linen' for a softer look.

The papers are from the Sweet Shoppe Designs "Vintage Harbor Blossom" digital kit, and the frame around the image was cut on my new Silhouette Portrait, using a cut file from the Silhouette Online store (Design #59022).

 

The sentiment is stamped in Memento 'Rich Cocoa', sponged around the edge and framed with matching Notables 7 diecut. I stamped, coloured, and fussy cut 4 butterflies (that are included in the fabulous "Fluttering By" sentiment set), and double layered them on the card to give dimension. I finished with a die cut butterfly, flowers, pearls, and a sweet butterfly charm!

Hope you like it!
See you again on Friday for another new release card!

For today’s card I've used one of Cathy Delanssay's new stamps called "In Winter". I'm loving this sweet whimsical range of images!
I've also used the new "Spring Notables 8" and "Notables 8 Die" by Raindrop Echo Designs, and an older Whimsy Shapeology Die, "Tall Timber Die". (The "Tall Timber Die" is now a Retiring Product so grab it quick while its still available - and at a clearance price!)

The rich red background paper is from Kaisercraft "Key to My Heart" 6x6 paper pad, and I coloured the image with Copics, aiming for  'Autumnal' colours. I sponged around the edge with Distress Ink 'Antique Linen', and then framed with a Nestabilities Fleur de Lis Rectangle. 

I added the sentiment and trees (with a touch of stickles), and then finished with Fun Flock for her hood and a few pearls.

Hope you like it!

Whimsy Inspiration - The Fairy

Hi Everyone!

I have some Whimsy Inspiration to share with you again today!

This is another image from Whimsy's January New Release and is called "The Fairy" by new Whimsy designer Cathy Delanssay.
It has such a whimsical feel that I wanted to see if I could use Twinkling H20's to watercolour with... but I have to say it didn't turn out how I saw it in my head LOL!

 

 Oh well! I had fun using a new technique and got to use my neglected H20's! ;)

 

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Here's what I used for my card:

Colouring Medium/Ink: Memento Tuxedo, Twinkling H20's, Distress Inks 'Frayed Burlap';
