Galaxy Galore Background

It’s a new release at Whimsy Stamps and I’ve created a card using the new Galaxy Galore Background along with the Bundled Up stamp in the foreground. There are loads of other inspiration from the Whimsy DT this week.

I started with embossing the background in white then used my sponge to ink on the blue and faded it towards the bottom. For the girl, I colored her with markers first and then used the pencils to create the knitting. I’ll be forever grateful to Annabel for enlightening my world with this texture. I love it!

These are the Copic Markers that I used:
W10, E49, 47, 33
E31, 33, 35, 23, 27
W5, 7, 9, C3, 5
E04, 02, R05, 12
BG49, 45, 53, 10
Here are Prismacolor Pencils used:
1027, 1015, 992, 938, 105
Distressed Ink: Tumbled Glass

Birthday Memories – Girl

I’ve used the Birthday Memories designer series papers from Stampin’ Up! to create this project and followed another great card design by Stamps to Die For.  I also used some Make it Crafty chipboard embellishments for the sentiment and border around the image; which has some yellow Liquid Pearls.  So far this is the only girl project that I’ve created.  I think she’s a bit small but maybe I’ll be able to come up with another one that I like.

Faye the Fairy

Remember the last project I did trying out a new technique by Sue?  After getting some tips from Sue, I used a glossy paper and tried it again. It made a world of difference and the colors are so much more vibrant. It was easy too and now my girls have been having fun creating their own papers. 😀  For this project I used Faye the Fairy as well as the Magical Birthday Wishes Sentiment stamps, both from Whimsy Stamps.

These are the Copic Markers I used on Faye the Fairy

Fireworks Stencil

For my project today, I decided to try a technique from Sue. I wasn’t sure what paper to use and didn’t have what she suggested so I just grabbed what paper I had. However, the paper absorbed the ink refills too quickly. But I’m not one to waste so I made a card with it anyway and used the Fireworks Stencil (from Whimsy Stamps) to add some texture.
