Eggcellent News

This card makes me smile every time I look at it. I absolutely love Wryn, and all the adventures she gets into. For this design, I printed out Wryn - Eggcellent News, one of the many adorable "Wryns" available from Tiddly Inks. This card is my second entry for the Tiddly Inks DT call. You can find my first card here.

Christy's artwork is so delightful and whimsical, I wanted to make sure to do this little girl justice on the "whimsy" part. So, I kept the card one-layer simple, and added lots of white gel pen highlights. I kept my embellishments to a couple strands of twine, included some water spots and distressed the chocolate chip background paper to add a bit of vintage feel.

Here's my recipe list:
Hair - 100, W10, 7, 5, E74, 70
Skin - E04, 11, 00, 51, 50, R20
Eggs - BG07, 05, 02, 01, B000, BG0000
Branch - E47, 27, 15, 23, 34, 31
Nest - E99, 97, YR24, 23, Y35
Leaves - YG17, 13, 09, 06, 11
Dress - R89, 29, 27, 24
Other: tumbled glass and antique linen distress inks
Sentiment and extra leaves are by me.

Thanks for popping by today! Have a wonderful whimsical day!

Little Fairies

Itty-bitty stamps are the best, especially when they have coordinating dies! This is a card I made awhile back with Little Fairies by The Greeting Farm. I love piecing together a complete picture out of tiny pieces, so this was a joy to create.

I added some shimmer with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolors. And, the sentiment is my own :)

You're Nifty

Today I'm sharing a card I absolutely L-O-V-E using You're Nifty by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. I tried to give this fun ice cream date a bit of a retro feel, and I hope you like it as much as I do!

Yes...I fussy cut that entire image out...in one piece!

There are several layers to this card, so here's a side view:

Just love that shiny background paper. I purchased it at JoAnn Fabrics (in store). It's in a big paper stack that contains images of ice cream, donuts, dill pickles, bacon, hot dogs, and tacos :)

Molly my Sweet

Hi, today I've made a card for you using the darling Molly My Sweet by TiddlyInks. I think all of the Molly's are just sweet.

I'm entering this card in the DT call for TiddlyInks stamps. You can find the link to the call here. I'm so excited for this DT call - TiddlyInks is my FAVORITE. If I was a stamp, I'd be a TiddlyInk :)

Molly was telling me she'd like to be in an old-fashioned sweet shop in this scene, so I picked some striped paper from my stash and that luscious digital Yummy Paper Set, full of cupcakes and pies, over at TiddlyInks. The digital paper was the perfect touch for a feel of old-world whimsy.

I added a bit of Spica glitter pen to both the cupcakes (in buttercup) and the hem on the dress (in clear silver) to add some sparkle. Here's a close-up view:

 

After-posting note: I ended up with multiple entries for the DT call, so here is the link for my second card.

Thanks for popping by today!

Sleeping Cutie

This sweetie love bug is called Sleeping Cutie and she was part of the Whimsy Stamps new release last month. I colored her up using a no-lines technique...not too simple on this image, but I'm pleased with the way it turned out! I really enjoy hand lettering, so instead of using a stamped sentiment, I provided my own.

And...once again I did not record my Copic colors. Argh! I hope you enjoy this pretty little girl nonetheless.

Have a lovely day, and thanks for popping by!

Angel Wings

Today I'm sharing a card I made with the cute Angel Wings by C.C. Designs. They used to also sell a die that cut out the angel and some cute hearts, which I also used in my card.
