Hello, I've been hard at work in my dining room crafting - there's steam coming off my fingers I'm sure lol. Can't wait til Pete starts building my garden office next spring - I'll never leave it hahaha. Children are returning to school tomorrow after the summer break and I'm returning to my 'happy place', after the chaos that is summer childcare lol!
I've been playing with some of my favourite Whimsy images this morning though to be honest, it's really difficult to choose one as they're all superb and I love them all!!
The images on both cards are by Whimsy artist Chrissy Armstrong. The first image used is called "Hang in There".
I'm entering this card into the following challenges......................
Stamp Something - Something Cute
---------------------------------------------
By second card showcases the lovely "Gracie's Roses" and fits the following challenges.........................
The Pixie Cottage - Sketch
Sundays with Chrissy - Sparkle and Shine
Simon Says - Pearls and Lace
I've combined BG papers with black cardstock and decoupaged the image a little. Sparkle is added in the glitter on her dress and the pearls add some shine. I used my Leone Em leaf punch. The flowers, ribbon and lace are from my stash.
I do hope you like my cards.
Don't forget Whimsy Stamps are releasing the most gorgeous custom rubber stamps on Wednesday!! There are going to be 35 separate designs, so far there, in 5 different categories: Frames, Simple, Animals, Zodiacs, and Whimsy Characters There is also an "Address Stamps" category with 3 different choices of address labels: one with 3 lines, one with 4 lines, one with 5 lines. These address labels will let you choose a graphic and let you input all your necessary information. After finally deciding on the design I'm now eagerly awaiting its delivery. Here's pic of the proof sample of what my stamp will look like...
