Whimsy - February Release Day


Hello, everyone!  It's the monthly release day at Whimsy Stamps and I'm so excited to be sharing the card I made using the new stamp set, Goth Doll Girl, and new dies, Primitive Shaker Shapes.

I sponged the card base with Distress Oxide Mustard Yellow and Ripe Persimmon then spattered a bit of water.

I cut out the stars from the Primitive Shaker Shapes dies from this panel and again in black. I glued the layers together to they would pop up from the card front.


Next I colored up the Goth Doll Girl image with Copics. I wanted to put in a floor but funky so used  the Goth Skulls Background rubber stamp with VersaFine Onyx Black. I then stamped the sentiment in the same.



It's hard to see but I coated the stars with Wink of Stella. It reactivated the Distress Oxides and created a fab streaky effect.

Have a great day and I'll see you soon with another Whimsy card.  In the meantime, why don't you take a gander at the other goodies in the Whimsy shop.

Whimsy - Lakeside Sympathy


I'm bolstering my sympathy card collection although this card could be a masculine birthday or just a thinking of you.  It's quite lovely, isn't it?


I used masking (eg, a circle for the sun cut from a Whimsy Pierced and Stitched Circle Die), strips of paper and Distress Oxide Salty Ocean, Worn Lipstick, Ripe Persimmon, and Mustard Seed to create the background. I used Distress Ink Black Soot for the island as it's far darker than the DO version.

I then added a selection of the Whimsy Create a Scene Forest images.  There are trees and rocks and all sorts of things to create your own little nature picture.


I diecut the entire scene using one of the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Dies and the embossed sentiment using a Quick Strip.

I added a Build an Island bird then drew in the reflection below.  Btw, after sponging the DO, I decided to add a bit more vibrancy to the colors using my Copic airbrush. Puff, puff and done.
