Penguin Birthday

Hello there, I am back today to share my second post for Whimsy Stamps as a Guest Designer. My card today uses the adorable Penguin Birthday set. I often feel that penguins get neglected throughout the year, at other times than Christmas, so I thought I would use this penguin for a birthday card!

 

I started off by taking a panel of white cardstock that was cut using a SSS Stitched Rectangle die. I then stamped the Penguin Birthday image on top using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped the 'happy birthday' sentiment from the Everyday Mini Sentiments set. The whole panel was then coloured using Copic Markers (the colours I used are listed below the supplies section). It is difficult to see on camera but I added colourless blender dots to the background, to help with the celebration feel to the card!

 

 

I adhered the image panel to a white A2 card base with foam tape. Then to finish off, I added clear Wink of Stella to the ribbon on the present, purple spots on the hat and on the balloon. I also added a coating of Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the balloon.

Penguin Loves Bunny

Hello there, today I have the pleasure of guest designing for Whimsy Stamps. Their sets are wonderful, especially if you like colouring like I do. They are just so cute! My card today uses the Penguin Loves Bunny stamp set.

 

I started off by stamping the image on to white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. The image was coloured using Copic Markers (the colours I used are listed below the supplies section) and then I fussy cut it out using scissors. I took a piece of white cardstock and cut this using a Creative Dies Stitched & Pierced Nesting Square Die. I then took the Blush Heidi Swapp Color Shine spray and spritzed this on to the middle of the panel. The piece was then set aside to dry.

 

 

Once dry, I took the 'hugs' sentiment from the Everyday Mini Sentiments set and stamped this using Archival ink (I use a DIY pad and ink it with the Black Soot re-inker. This is a darker black than the normal Jet Black one). I adhered this panel to a white 4.75" x 4.75" card base with foam tape. The image was then added on top with thin foam squares.

Unfortunately, the shimmer does not show up well in the photos but in real-life, the Color Shine has a lovely shimmer to it. Thanks so much for stopping by today, I really appreciate it. For more inspiration using Whimsy Stamps products, please visit their blog. Have a great day!
