Bunny's Birthday

Hi :)

Today I have a card for Whimsy Stamps using an adorable image by Crissy Armstrong.  It's called Bunny's Birthday.  Isn't he the sweetest !

He would obviously be perfect for a kids birthday card (and I will be making one of those too) but I just had this idea that he could be a hare. And so I coloured him grey and added this funny sentiment.  I made this for my sister and I think she'll appreciate it :)

Whimsy Stamps has decided to start a monthly challenge on its Facebook page and this month the challenge is pretty easy :  Something New. This is my card for the challenge, using a new stamp!  Please hop over and join the group (if you haven't already) and play along with our February challenge.  It will be fun and you may even win a prize :)

I coloured the image with my copics and my treasured warm greys are almost out of ink.  EEK!  What a catastrophe that would be, I hurriedly place an ink refill order and also shouted myself to some cool greys too (that was a bit extravagant!)  I'm looking forward to trying out a different grey look but I think the warm greys will remain my favourites :)  For the cupcake icing, I coloured with copics then added crystal effects and sprinkled silver glitter onto it while still wet.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Bunny's Birthday Whimsy
Card : x-press it, pool party, winter fun (carte bella)
Ink : memento black
Other : big shot, pretty posies (MFT), felt, pool party button and dots, crystal effects, silver glitter, hemp cord, copics

Whimsy World Card Making Day Hop

Happy World Card Making Day 2013!

World Card Making Day is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to ... celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family, AND to kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season! Today, Whimsy Stamps is celebrating World Card Making Day 2013 with our very own BLOG HOP! 

I decided to make a card for my Daughter's violin teacher.  There are music exams coming up and she has been helping her so much with her studies that I wanted to make a special card to say "Thanks for everything".

I used Jo Davies' gorgeous Bookish girl again.  I love her and thought she would work well if I also added a few musical touches to the card.  I used the new sentiment set Holiday Sliders 3 as a pretty backdrop for the sentiment from Treasured Moments Tickets too. I embossed it with white embossing powder and cut it out with the slider 3 die and then cut the other sentiment out and stuck it on top.  Sliding this partly behind the main image makes it into a nice "file tab" kind of shape which I like.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Bookish,  Holiday Sliders 3, Treasured Moments Tickets
Card : x-press it, olive, limeaid, blushing bride, subtles core'dinations
Ink : memento black
Other : big shot, slider 3 die, music notes (MFT), pretty posies (MFT), pearls, pearl brad, crystal effects, copics, white ep, music ef (spellbinders)
