Missing You with Catherine Pooler, Sweet November and a Facebook Live

Hi ya everyone!  I am finally getting around to sharing a card I made during a Saturday Night Live on Facebook.  We had a good time making this card, but I will say, it's a bit different from what I did in my Live.  I taught a watercolor background technique for the lanterns and honestly, I didn't like the results during my Live.  Therefore, I changed things up a bit.  If you have watched the LIVE, I'd like to give a small tip to get better results:  make sure your yellows are smaller in size than I show in my Live and make sure the color is separated.  It creates a much more life like lantern glow.

Don't forget, I used the beautiful new Catherine Pooler stamp set called 4-Ever and Old Oak Tree rubber background stamp to create the scene!  I also used the sweet little Snowbeary from Sweet November Stamps to finish this scene!

MEOW with Sweet November Stamps NEW Release

Hi ya everyone!  It's release day at Sweet November Stamps and I created this simple and fun card with the new image Alex and Oso!  Aren't they a cute pair.  I colored the scene in Copics and used a Wonky Stitched die from Whimsy.  The little bubble saying purr is from MFT.

I also colored the new image Camilla and Dulce.  Again, the entire scene is in Copics and the thought bubble and word are from MFT.

Amy will be coloring LIVE today at 11am PST!

Hello - Whimsy Stamps July Release Day 1

Hi ya everyone!  Today is Whimsy Stamps Release day and I'm sharing a card I made using two of the new stamps.  First, the large PowerPuff Floral Background stamp.  Isn't it gorgeous?  First, I laid down some of my favorite Fireworks Sprays (Angel Pink, Rose Bud and New Sprout).  I then stamped over the whole thing with Memento Love Letter Ink and the new Power puff background.  I sprayed a sheet of paper with Rosebud and Angel Pink Fireworks and cut out the letters from the new Bold Alphabet Die set and layered the letters three times.  I cut the powerpuff background with my envelope edgers and finished my card!

I hope you enjoy!  When you spend $75 or more at Whimsy Stamps on non-digital items you will receive a free stamp set.  This is the Whimsy Stamps CAS (Customer Appreciation Stamp).
