Springtime Moments

Hello Everyone and Happy TGIF! Iris here today with a card I made using this cute 'Dandelion Girl' from Whimsy's Wee stamp collection. This card was also published in Whimsy Inspirational Magazine Issue 7.
The cutie was colored using Copics and Prismas. DP is from Echo Park's 'Country Drive' collection. Sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Design and available HERE. The 'Country Heart' die and the corner die are from Whimsy's Shapeology collection. Some of the flowers are Whimsy Buds and the rest is from my stash. The ribbon slider is also from Whimsy's embellishment collection.



Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Iris

Lemon Pepper

Good morning everyone and happy friday! I hope you are having some fun things planned this Easter Holiday!

Ellie here, and it's my turn to show you one of my Whimsy creations. I hope you will like it!



This was one of the cards I had made for last month's release.

I used the super sweet stamp "Lemon Pepper" from the Elisabeth Bell collection. The sentiment was also from last month's release, and I know I will be using that set A LOT. It's called "Celebration Circle Pennants" from Whimsy's Raindrop Echo Designs, and of course there is also a matching die set available to cut the stamps out, the Circle Pennants shapeology die set.

I love how this card turned out. Of course I really like the sketch I used here, I believe it is a sketch from an older "Raise the bar" challenge.

The image itself was colored using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I decorated the card with several diecuts, one of them is from whimsy's new Picket Fence die, then I also used Whimsy's "Vines" die. The flowers were cut with a die from MFT, and the the grass was done with a Martha Stewart punch. The papers are from My Minds Eye.

It wasn't easy to sew around the circle, so where you see the little yellow tab on the top left is where my sewing was messed up. It was a good thing though, because now I think the card really needed something yellow on the left side anyway LOL.



Thanks so much for visiting the Whimsy Inspirations blog today!

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter!
