Whimsy Stamps October Release Day 2

Hello!

It's day 2 of Whimsy Stamps release for October and there are lots of fun new goodies to be had.

For my card today I'm showcasing the new Brushed Stripes Background Stamp.

This is such a versatile stamp, you'll see some other examples of how I used this stamp later in the month, but for today's card I did one of my favourite things.....rainbow colours.

I first stamped my image on some Strathmore Bristol smooth paper, using my MISTI and some Versamark Ink, priming the paper first with my anti static tool.

Then I did some heat embossing with some white embossing powder.

I used various Distress Oxide inks and a blending tool to colour in my stripes, masking the areas I didn't want to take that colour, with some post it tape.

I used the Shaker Maker Rectangle Die set to cut the background into 2 pieces and then used the Thanks word die (this die is no longer available in store, but you can find a lot of other word dies here) to cut out the word from the centre piece, keeping all the pieces aside.

I used the 2nd largest Stitched Nested Rectangles die to cut a layer from white card to fit between my 2 pieces and glued all 3 to my white card base .

I cut several more 'thanks' from white card stock and glued them together, gluing the striped thanks on the top.

I then inlaid the stacked word and adhered the small left over pieces in their places. 

I stamped the 'for everything' sentiment from the Happy Saying set (one of my 'go to' sentiment sets)  in black ink on some white card stock and cut it to size, gluing it in place below my die cut word.

Finally I finished off with a few enameled dots.

 And there you have it. Products can be found at the end of the post, just click on the pics to take you to the item in store.

   

Thanks for visiting!

Bloody Brilliant!

Hello!

It's day 2 of Whimsy Stamps August release and today I'm showcasing a card made with the new Cheeky Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.

First I took a piece of watercolour paper and blended on some rainbow colours using Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean and Wilted Violet, and an ink blending tool.

I splashed some drops of water over and blotted, then once completely dry I used the large die from the Shaker Maker Rectangle set to emboss a pattern and trimmed the edges.  I mounted this directly to a black card base.

I used the same inks I had used on my background to stamp my large word on some plain white card and then stamped the 2 smaller words from my chosen sentiment above this with some Onyx Black Versafine ink. I cut my sentiment out with a small rectangle die from the Stitched Nested Rectangle set and then adhered this to a piece of black card and mounted this on my background with some craft foam to pop the whole thing up.

To finish off I added some colourful enamel dots.

I've added pictures and links to the products available in the Whimsy Stamps store, below.
