Whimsy Stamps May Rubber Stamps Release Day 1 - Mariposa

Hi everyone, it's time for the first day of Whimsy Stamps rubber release for May. 

I have a treat for you today in the shape of this cute little chappie or chappess called Mariposa, from the Wee Stamp Collection.  Like all of the artist Sylvia Zets' images, this is just too sweet for words.

Mariposa means butterfly so I dug out 2 of my precious butterflies from Kay's Etsy shop and after finding papers that went with them, I coloured this little bundle of cuteness in coordinating colours, with my distress ink markers.


DI colours: Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, Victorian Velvet, Spun Sugar, Evergreen Bough, Forest Moss.


I added lots of Wink of Stella to the wings, but sadly I couldn't get that to show in the pics.


I've linked some of the embellishments used below:

White Chrysanth

This card is for sale in my Etsy shop, just click the icon below to view there.

If you'd love to get your inspiration in person and create in a beautiful environment with some of the Whimsy Artists and Design Team (including me squeeee!!!)

Well that's all from me today, but I'll be back on Friday with some more May release inspiration.

Have fun!

Vintage Time

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying your weekend, the sun is shining her and life is good. 
It's a quick post form me, I'm just buzzing in to show you a card I made with the new paper in at The Ribbon Girl. These came through my door this morning and I was so in love that I just had to make something with them right away.

Of course then I spend about an hour umming and ahhing and not able to make a single cut into the delicious papers lol.

Anyway this is what I made, I kind of love the way it turned out.

The embellishments I used are also from The Ribbon Girl, which I've listed below, apart from the butterfly which is one of Kay's and a few leaves.

I inked and distressed my edges, added some gesso, and gessoed the frame and dove before spraying with some glimmer mist to give s subtle gold sheen.

I stamped Celebrate on a scrap of the design paper and embossed with white embossing powder.


That's it for me today, I'm off to enjoy the rest of the sun!
