Orange & Pink!

Good morning!

I am four weeks into my recovery and heading back to school on Monday. I am looking forward to seeing my students again, but a bit nervous about working all day.  I still get tired and sore after being on my feet for awhile.  But my doc thinks it's best to get back to "normal" as much as I can. 

So wish me luck!

This is version 3 of Whimsy's new set, Love and Unicorns.  

The image was colored with Copics and fussy cut.  I didn't have paper that seemed to go with her, so I created my own striped paper using Copics. 

I used a Stitched Circle die with black paper to help ground my image.  I stamped the sentiments using the new, Acts of Kindness stamp set.   The mane and tail have a light coating of Stickles for some added sparkle.  

Thank you for stopping today!

 

Valentine Unicorn!

Good morning! How do you like Whimsy's new set, Love and Unicorns?  You know I couldn't just make one card with this adorable set! So today I have another card.  I decided to go full on Valentine's Day colors, right down to the unicorn's mane.  She was colored with Copics and fussy cut.  I used the Mitered Frames Die. 

I added the sentiment, a small heart from my stash using the Slimline Hearts Background die, a few sequins, and the XOX from the Confetti Mix, Hugs and Kisses.  

If you haven't yet checked out Whimsy's new release, run over there now! You won't be disappointed!

Rainbows and Unicorns!

Howdy friends!

Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release day! The set I used today is called, Love and Unicorns. I think this world could use a little bit more of both! ;)I colored the image using Copics and fussy cut it. The background was done with water colors and water color paper.

Once the background was dry, I stamped the sentiment directly on the water color paper.  Unfortunately, I didn't wait until the ink was dry before adhering everything. As you can see I smeared some of the ink on the unicorn's leg. :(  The hearts are once again from the Slimline Hearts Background die. (Told you I have a problem!) I colored them with Copics and then added a coating of glossy accents to them.  Stickles was also added to the unicorn's mane. 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Be sure to pop by Whimsy to see their full release! 

 

Obsessive Coffee Drinker

Happy Monday!

I told you last week I was a bit obsessed with this set, Give a Sip from Whimsy Stamps! ;)  I inked this cutie with a no line ink and colored it using my Zig Clean Brush Markers.  I love doing no line coloring from time to time! I stamped the sentiment directly to the image and added those hearts once again from the Slimline Heart Background Die.  The cute polka dot paper is from the 6 x 6 Mix n Match Neutrals. 

I added a bit of twine to finish off the card and a few gel pen high lights. :)

Have a wonderful Monday!

 

Friends and Coffee

Happy weekend to you!

I have to share with you all that I have the BEST friends!  Due to my surgery I have had to wear a nightgown the past two weeks.  They came over with dinner, dessert, and wearing their very own nightgowns last night! I have been so cooped up, it was nice laughing, and feeling a bit more normal.  :)

On to my card....I used Whimsy Stamp's, Give a Sip......again.  Hopefully you are not tired of this set yet!

The image was colored with Copics and cut out with the new Slimline Victorian Die set.   And as always, I added a heart that I had in my stash using the Slimline Hearts Background Die. 

Have a wonderful Saturday!!

 

Sending Smiles

Hello friends!

Happy Friday!

I have a quick post using Whimsy Stamp's Lady Bugs stamp set.  I used Copics and then the coordinating dies to cut them out.  Stickles were added to their spots. 

I used the Pierced and Stitched Circles dies for the background.  

Just a quick post today!

I'll be back with another this weekend! :)

 

Whimsy's New Release Part 2!

Happy Thursday to you!

I am still recovering at home and missing my kiddos at school. 

But I am taking this time to slow down, pump the brakes, and use this time to recharge a bit.

I have been parked in my craft room quite a bit and loving this new release from Whimsy Stamps, Give a Sip.  I love these cute critters and love coffee even more! :)

I used Copics and added a heart background with a heart stencil.  

This little guy looks like he is enjoying his coffee maybe a little TOO much, so I added the Slurp! Word Die.   I had mentioned that I store all of the hearts that are cut using the Slimline Hearts Background Die.  Well, once again I had to incorporate one of those hearts in the sentiment.  :)

As always, I appreciate you popping by and making me part of your day!
