Hello and welcome to Day 5 of our April Rubber & Die Release Showcase! I’m back with another of the stamps that Whimsy Stamps released this month along with new Shapeology dies. Until 24 April the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!
Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw.
To be entered into today’s mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT’s posts listed below by 12.00PM EST tomorrow. All winners will be announced on the Whimsy blog on 25 April.

My card today features one of Elisabeth Bell’s amazing images, this little cutie is Ginger Meadows from the Cottage Cuties Collection. The sentiment is also from the new release, the set is Tickets Notes.

The papers are from the latest digi kit from Nitwit Collections, this one is Tour of London – isn’t it just fantastic!!!

I’ve used a few dies on this card, the Doo Hickey Picket Fence, Die-Namics Open Scallop Edge die, and for the leaves I used Poppystamps Die Ivy Tendrils that a gorgeous lady sent me as a surprise xxx

Coloured with Copics and pencils, I used
Skin: E11, 00, 000, 0000, R20, R30
Hair, E31, 53, 50 and Light umber pencil
Reds: E29, 24, 22, 12 and Tuscan red pencil
Blues: B39, 37, 34, 32, and Blue Copenhagen pencil
Greens: BG96, 93, G46, 43, 20, YG67, 63, 61 and Olive pencil (yes I used a lot of greens lol)
Cat and Fence: C3, 1, 0, 00 and Cool Grey 50% pencil
Basket: E15, 17, 11, W1, 0, 00

The flowers and lace are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I used 25mm wild roses, 20mm roses, 15mm roses and I used some gold coloured pearls for the centres of the larger flowers on the stamped image. The ladybird in the centre of the lace bow is a button, I just snipped the shank off. This was one of the many buttons I picked up on my shopping spree with Jacque, Suzan and Michelle when I was in the USA in January.

That’s it from me till later this evening when I post the winner of the WOC surprise candy plus the winner of the weekly LOTV candy (over on the Ideas to Inspire blog). I am off to the Sincerely Yours show at Gateshead Stadium today, I can’t remember when last I went to a show just to take my time looking around and shop, so am taking two of my dearest friends with me for a girlie morning out
