Whimsy Stamps Wee Heidi

I don’t have a Just Magnolia card for today, I totally ran out of time (best laid plans and all that) but I do have my last sneak peek for Whimsy Stamps new release, meet Heidi.  If you are in the UK you can get Heidi from Dies to Die For and if you are in the USA you can get her here from Whimsy Stamps.

Isn’t she a little beauty!  And shock horror!!  I have used purple, but I could not resist these Pion Design papers any longer lol.  The gorgeous lattice corner is a Marianne Design Die – Anja Corner.  The other MD die I used is the Ivy die.  OMW I love this die, the detail is just amazing!  The lace, seam binding, 40mm trellis rose, 25mm hybrid tea rose, 20mm roses, 15mm roses and sweetheart blossoms are all from Wild Orchid Crafts as is the pearls.

She has been coloured with pencils and Copics 
Hair E53, 51, 50, E43 and French Grey 50% pencil
Skin E11, 00, 000, 0000, R30
Beiges E43, 42, 41, 40 and French Grey 50% pencil
Purples BV11, 00, 000, 0000 and a purple pencil (can’t remember which one I used, sorry)

I was going to join in with the blog hop that Whimsy are taking part in but the goodies needed to make up the card did not arrive before I left for CHA.  But you can go and get all the details from the Whimsy Blog if you want to join in the fun, it will probably start around 5pm UK time tonight.

Have a great weekend

One for the Boys

It’s Lili’s Little Fairies Challenge today and this week our challenge is to make a card for a boy (or in my case man lol).  I have made a valentines card and although there are the usual flowers on it does it for me.

And by the time this goes live I will be sat at Newcastle Airport waiting for my flight down to Heathrow for onwards to California for the CHA – wooooohoooo (false bravado lol, I am not a good flyer haha)

I have used Bubble Bath from Lili of the Valley, as well as the Grunge Corners and Love Sentiments.

The paper is Prima Alla Prima pad, the ribbon is Light Scallop Blue Trim and both are from Dies to Die For.

The gorgeous turquoise flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, I spritzed them with chalk white glimmer spray then inked them with Walnut Stain.

Love Grows

A quick post from me today, I need to get all my posts scheduled for the next week and a bit, then start getting clothes and stuff out to pack.  OMG I am running so behind (so what’s new there then Bev??)

My card today is a totally new colour scheme for me.  It’s not often I colour with the E93 – E99 family but I love this Prima Romantique paper so it had to be done.  The pretty lace is Grand Lace Trim but I am being frugal and cut it in half, so twice the lace for 1/2 the price lol

The stamp is Love Grows from Lili of the Valley.  I have also used the new Love Sentiments and Grunge Corners on the card.  These stamps are just totally fab and having them clear is such a bonus.

The seam binding and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I used 4mm rose buds, 15mm roses, 20mm roses and 25mm hybrid tea rose

A close up of the heart from the Love Sentiments which I stamped onto Kraft in Walnut Stain then stamped the Cherish sentiment in black ink.

The inside showing the Grunge Corners in use, love them (think I already said that lol)

A close up of the image, I coloured the sky with the ink and brush technique (video tutorial on my Video Tutorials page.

And that’s it from me today, must dash
