I’m using the DoveArt line of stamps Create A Scene Forest to put together a quick winter scene. Seeings how cold it is for me right now, I thought this would be fitting. The stamp was embossed in black then I used the Karin Brushmarker watercolor markers to color the background and some shadows.
The white snow was created with a Marvy Snow Marker then heat set to puff it up. The sentiment is a Make it Crafty chipboard embellishment colored with Copic Markers. The background layer of paper was also colored with Copic Markers.
You can find most of these products at Whimsy Stamps:
Great news! I’m back to drawing and coloring… and the Polka Dot Pals are back too and now available at Whimsy Stamps.
The new Polka Dot Pal clear stamps (in general) come with a character, sentiment, elements and sometimes a face or face accessory. They’re going to be great for building scenes and changing up the looks with all the accessories. I’m loving these and I think you’re going to love them too.
These accessories and faces can be used with these newer Polka Dot Pals from Whimsy Stamps as well as your older Polka Dot Pals from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I’d love to see your beautiful creations too using any of your Polka Dot Pals – be sure to tag #PolkaDotPals or @PolkaDotPals
After stamping the Polka Dot Pals Fern girl, I added the face from the Polka Dot Pals Syeda set. I used a clear block and aligned the black pupils of eyes on the girl stamp with the center of iris on the face stamp. It took me a couple times to get them just center but you can use the stamp platform if needed otherwise the faces can sometimes look crazy-eyed. If you still want to use it freehand, the eyes that come in the set are on a face-shaped base which can be aligned up with the image’s ears in order to get proper placement.
Between coloring the girl and the background, I had taken a break and was out and about when I noticed an oil painting of flowers and was inspired to create something similar on this.
I often have a hard time tossing out the labels and like to put quick cards together. They’re always colored so nicely too! This is Holly from Whimsy Stamps and she’s adorable. I’m in the process of coloring her up on the side but had to put together this quick card.
I’ve been waiting to use the Slip ‘n Slide Die Set from Whimsy – er, rather, it’s been waiting for me patiently sitting on my desk. Well, I finally got around to using it and it’s been so much fun. I used the large circle and combined it with the new GingerSnaps! clear stamp. It’s been ages since I’ve created a motion card so I had a few mistakes here and there that needed to be fixed. The biggest one was adding weight to the spinner so it would spin on it’s own… in this case I used a dime.
I’m working on a few mail-able Christmas cards which means I’m trying to keep them flat and not square. The new Stained Glass Village rubber stamp from Whimsy Stamps fit perfectly for this and I was excited to color the sky on this one. For embellishments, I added a few gems then dotted Liquid Pearls all around for falling snow.
It’s new release week at Whimsy Stamps and I’m excited that the DoveArt Winter Pines is included in the list. This is such a fun stamp and can be used on it’s own but also in the background with other stamps. I’ve already created two cards with it that I wanted to reshare to give some inspiration for the release.
You might be surprised how this first one was create – very quick!
