Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Design Team Card - December

Good afternoon everyone 💜

I'm here again to share my Whimsy Stamps Design Team Inspirational card with you.  Today my card doesn't contain any colouring t all, as I wanted to show off one of the stunning digital papers designed by Tracy Wray.  I simply printed my paper and layered it up onto silver mirror card and then added by die cut sentiment then sprinkled a few snowflakes and stars around. This concept is so easy and great for batch making cards, especially at this time of year. I hope you like it.



Here's What I Used
Digital Papers: 'A Winters Night' Paper Collection
Other: 6" x 6" Scalloped Card Blank, Black Card, Silver Mirror Card, Graphics Program, Black Funky Foam, Sizzix (Tim Holtz) 'Retro Merry Christmas' Die, Lawn Fawn 'Mini Snowflake' Die, Pa\per Smooches 'Space' Dies

What I did
I cut a piece of silver mirror card to 5½" x 5½", then resized the patterned paper in my graphics program to 5½" x 5½",printed it out and trimmed it to fit the mirror card which were added to the card base.  The word Merry was cut from silver mirror card and added to the card front. The word 'Christmas was cut from black card and black funky foam which were glued together and also added to the card from at an angle. To finish the card  die cut stars and snowflakes cut from silver mirror card were glued around the front. Hope you like it. :)

I'll be back next week with more Whimsy fabulousness.

Whimsy Stamps Challenge 102

Morning everyone 💜

I'm here to share my Whimsy Stamps Challenge Design Team card with you today.  I'm a little late sharing it as I've had no 'tinternet' for a few days - but thankfully I'm 'up and cooking now'. :)

For my card I've used the beautiful digital paper from the 'Accents Of Winter 2' collection and one of the digital stamps from the 'Christmas Accessories' sheet both designed by the very talented  Tracy Wray. As I mentioned we have a Challenge every month - theme is Anything Goes, so come on and get joining. We'd love to see your creations...plus you might even win a prize. Yay! Click here to upload your project.


 

Here's What I Used
Digital Papers: 'Accents Of Winter 2' Paper Collection
Digital Stamps: 'Christmas Trimmings Sentiments' ((Sentiment) and Christmas Accessories (Angel)
Other: 6" x 6" Scalloped Card Blank, Neenah Card, Sheena's White Stampinbg Card, Gold Glitter Card,  Tattered Lace Square Doily Die, Tattered Lace Square Die, Paper Smooches 'Space' Die, White Funky Foam,, Glitter, Foam Pads, Graphics Program, Gold Glitter Pen

Copics: Skin - E000, E00, E11, R20 / Hair - YR0000, YR000, YR00, E13, E99 / Dress - RV000, RV00, RV42 / Wings - BG000, B0000

What I did
I die cut a white square using the doily die and cut the centre out using a plain square die, to create a frame. I repeated this process twice more from white funky foam, and glued all the frames together.

Using a graphics program I added the sentiment and angel to one of the beautiful patterned papers and printed it out. The angel was printed onto colouring card twice, and then coloured in using Copics. The first angel was all cut out apart from her halo and glitter was added to her wings. The second angel was cut out minus her wings and halo. Both cut out angels were layered up using foam pads.

The printed paper and frame was added to the 6" x 6" card front, and the layered up angel was added on top of the printed angel on the patterned paper.

To finish off die cut gold stars were added and the halo was coloured in using a gold glitter pen.
