Whimsy Blog hop winner and - yes - a card, finally

Sorry I am so late drawing the winner for Whimsy blog hop - I am still settling in to work and kinda lost track of days, lol

Without further ado - Random.org has spoken:

Congratulations, Sandra, I will contact you shortly for mailing details!!

And here is the first of two commissioned wedding cards I've been working on. The image is by Whiff Of Joy.  Don't look at colouring, I was TOTALLY uninspired. TOLD you I don't like making wedding cards.

What I DO like is Make It Crafty Chipboard and Echo Park Victoria Gardens papers. Lush stuff! Me approves!

Oh, and I'm discovering Flower Soft that has been just sitting in my drawer. There's potential there - I think you might see more of it on my cards soon.

Thanks for visiting and happy crafting!!

Hugs

Stamp Something - Bugs

The challenge theme is actually BUGS or BUTTERFLIES at Stamp Something. Since I had to make an engagement card my friend asked for I kinda went with butterflies...

I used cute papers from Lily Bee and a lot of Sakura white gel pen.

The image is by Karens Doodles - I raked the web looking for the kind of "grown-up lovey picture" suitable for the The sentiments are made using  Oval Scallops - Stripes  and  Ways of Love Sentiments.

 Colouring is a combination of Copics and Prismacolor pencils with mineral spirit.

Thank you for visiting and big hugs!

- Elaine - Judy - Kim Dellow - Mary  -
- Ann - Iris - Minna - Patricia - Vicki -

I have a very simple and (hopefully) masculine card to show - I am using a stamp called Sick Little Bear - don't you just feel sooooo sorry for him! For the sentiment I layered three of the same stamp from Whimsy Circle Postmarks set.

The image is coloured using Prismacolor pencils and OMS. I should REALLY practice more with that technique.

Thanks for joining us and we hope you are enjoying all the Whimsy Stamps fun.
