For my card today I used the adorable new Wee image called Goldie. Colleen Schaan had recently posted a gorgeously colored mermaid on her blog and I knew I wanted to try out the look and the colors she chose. So I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed it with a Classic Square Nestabilities die. die and colored it with Copic Markers (Skin: E000, BG000, B00   Dots: G14, G17, BG57   Scales: G12, G14, G17   Hair: B21, B24, B26, B29, G12, G15   Bubbles: YG000, G00). The image was stitched to a piece of Coordination cardstock, cut and embossed with a Scalloped Square Nestabilities die.

A piece of Bo Bunny Barefoot & Bliss patterned paper was cut and embossed with a  Grand Square Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded before Aqua May Arts Ribbon was tied around the paper. The layer was then adhered to the card base, a 4 9/16″ x  9 1/8″ piece of Solar White cardstock folded in half.

A sentiment from the new Ticket Notes was stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock, cut it out and colored it with Copic Markers BG000 and G12. It was tied on to the ribbon bow with embroidery thread and a button. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl was adhered over the bow, and part of a Fancy Waves Border Bling was added to the lower right corner to finish off the card.

Well….when I started stamping, I remembered new images, I remembered what paper to use, but I forgot about the sketch we are using today.  I had most of the card done before I remembered. So my card doesn’t match the sketch 100%, but I think it still kind of works.

I stamped the new Bird Swing image in Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. It was cut and embossed with the largest Classic Oval Nestabilities die and the Out of the Box technique and colored with Copic Markers (Birds: N0, N1, N2, N3, Y21, Y23   Swing: E31, E33, E35, E37, Y21, Y23, Y26   Roses: R43, R46, R59    Leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67   Sky: B0000, B000, B00). The image was first adhered to a piece of gray cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Scallop Oval Nestabilities die, then on a paper doily.

The edges of a 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Echo Park Yours Truly Patterned Paper were sanded before the strip was adhered to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the same paper pack. The bottom corners were rounded and the edges were first sanded, then stitched. Organdy Ribbon was tied around the vertical strip before the image was adhered with dimensionals. The layers were adhered to a card base , a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, folded in half.

Two pieces of Yours Truly paper were cut and embossed with a die from the Twisted Metal Accents & Die collection and colored with Copic Markers (YG61, YG63). They were adhered next to the bow (and would have to count for the horizontal strip on the sketch). Parts of a Finesse swirl were adhered slightly under the paper swirls and the ribbon bow was topped with a Rhinestone brad.

A sentiment from the Everyday Circle Sentiments was stamped in London Fog Memento Ink on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Standard Circle die. It was adhered to the lower right of the image layer. A heart was cut out of felt with a Classic Heart Nestabilities die. A Flower was stuck through the left side and the flower end was twisted. The heart was adhered to the upper left of the image. Three Rhinestones on the top right edge finish off the card.

The sentiment is from the new Whimsy set called Celebration Mini Tickets. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar ink.

A piece of Canyon Brown cardstock was cut and embossed with the corner die of Parisian Accent die. That corner was adhered to the upper right hand corner. Rhinestones from the 72 Count Rhinestone pack finish off my card front.

Here is another card that you can find in the new Whimsy Magazine. I love the new Wee Images from Whimsy Stamps. They are just soooo cute and so much fun to color.

The image was cut and embossed with the largest Classic Circle Nestabilities die.

It was masked, cloud masks were added and the background was airbrushed with B02. To make the clouds look more dimensional, the bottom edges were colored with Copic Marker W00, W0 and W1. The image was stitched to a piece of Crayon Brown Cardstock that had been hand cut into a slightly bigger layer. Stardust Stickles was added the the snow on the ground and some of the snowflake circles in the image.

 

Strips of Echo Parks Holly Jolly Christmas paper were adhered to a 4″ square of the same paper pack. The paper was stitched to a 1/4″ bigger square of Canyon Brown cardstock.  More paper strips from that paper pack were adhered to a 5″ square which was in turn stitched to a 5 1/4″ square of Canyon Brown cardstock. White Organdy Ribbon was tied around the vertical strips before the paper layers were adhered to the card base, yellow Core’dination cardstock, cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die.

A sentiment from the new Winter Notables stamp set was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The center oval was cut out and colored with Copic Marker B0000 and B000. It was adhered to the upper right of the image. Baby Bling Rhinestones were adhered underneath the sentiment and part of a Rhinestone swirl was adhered to the upper right and lower left of  layers.
