Hey crafties!

I am back today with my second project as a special guest for Whimsy Stamps! I have to tell you, I love, love their stamps (the quality and price point is amazing) and today I am featuring Jillian and Friends rubber stamp set and Twinkle stencil.

To start, I stamped the images from Jillian and Friends stamp set and colored them with Copic markers. Once I had all the images colored, I fussy cut each one at the stamp line.

I lined each image with Memento tuxedo black marker, to cover any exposed cut lines.

I created the background next, blending Pine needles, Peacock feathers and Salty Ocean distress oxide inks starting at the bottom of the panel. I added splatter with leftover ink, set the panel aside to dry and made a card base from white heavy weight cardstock.

Once the panel was dry,  I stamped the sentiment and the images directly to the background, then adhered the colored, fussy cut images directly on top of the stamped ones. Little swirlies, bubbles and lines were too hard do fussy cut – stamping the images first, then adhering the colored images directly on top created the completed look of each image.

Using Twinkle stencil I lightly inked the stars and dots with white pigment ink and that finished my card!

I am so happy with how this card turned out and am very honored to have been able to guest design for Whimsy Stamps this month!

I really hope you like the card and have enjoyed today’s post and got inspired!

This adorable Jillian and Friends stamp set comes both in digital and cling rubber format 🙂

Until next time, I wish you Happy Crafting!
