Whimsy - Crab Cranson



Doesn't it make you a little crabby when you forget someone's birthday!  Say, like your parents, kid, brother or sister.  Yup, it does me!  I have to put it on my computer calendar and set a reminder a month ahead of time, then two weeks, then a week and then two days before.  That's when the sticky note goes on the computer.  But, I get busy and still forget to call or get the card in the mail.

As organized as I am that is one thing I am bad about.  I have to ask my husband how old I am!  That is why when I saw Crabby Cranson, I knew exactly what I wanted to use him for!  And I knew Whimsy Sentiments that were perfect!

So here is the plan....I am going to keep this card.  Then just email it to everyone in advance and say I am sorry but you know I will forget to call or send a card so here!  Deal with it.  I love you and that is all that matters.



Now, I used Basic Stitched Ovals Die Set and the backround water was layered with Making Waves Stencil using VersaMagic Ink and a Chinesse White pencil to bring out the highlights.  I then used Clear tonic drops in clear.  Then yellow on the paper to make it look embossed.

I really had fun with this card.  This old crab is a keeper!

Whimsy - Froggie Hoppy Day 2



Ok, seriously, who doesn't love a frog with an attitude!  For sure, I do!  Hey Mr. Froggie, are you asleep with your eyes open or are you in a trance?  Dude, do something would you?  Yeah, I am digging him a lot!  You can find Froggie Hoppy Day 2 in the digi section at Whimsy Stamps.



Now, there are a couple other items I used from the Whimsy store.  I used Magical Birthday Wishes for the sentimentStar Dangle Stencil for the background of the square,  and Stitched Border Die Trio for the top banner.  Thanks for visiting today!

I would share with you the Copic Colors and the Prisma Pencils I used, but honestly,  I have no idea, because I think I had hot flashes when I was coloring him.  Wow, I just realized I made a masculine birthday card with a feminine sentiment on it....I just choked on my coffee!!!  I will find a man friend and dare him to give it to his wife.  I will keep you posted.

New Power Poppy, Love One Another


Bring the life of the garden to the front of your paper! This harmonious scene has an uplifting arrangement of dwarf and intermediate bearded irises mingling with tulips and insects. Irises come in a massive array of color combinations.

Yesterday started a 5 day blitz of new digi releases from Power Poppy!
And wow!  I've been on the Power Poppy team going on 5 years now and I have to say this is the best release yet.....You will want each and every one of them!   I am not going to be able to participate in all five days, but I will do all five releases within the month!


I knew I wanted yellow tulips.  I recently learned shading yellow from VanillaArts and Amy was right!  Now I love to color yellow!  So then I forgot about the Iris's and went to google for help.  BAM!  There she was....right in front of my eyes.  And low and behold these beautiful flowers could give me yet another chance to practice other things I've learned from VanillaArts.  

I will tell you that in the photo you can not see the details in the darker purple of the iris..but trust me they are there and really look cool. 

I promise to get back to doing color palettes for you!  I pinkie swear!

Whimsy's Penguin Flies



Hello and welcome to another Whimsy Stamps day with Rhea.  This time I am using a digi stamp called Penguin Flies



I fussy cut the image and used the Basic Stitched Ovals Die Set to create the frame and the sentiment manner.  The sentiment came from Whimsy Magical Birthday Wishes.

What a great birthday card for a boy or a girl.  Depends on what color the balloons are, right?

Whimsy - Flower Puff Background Stamp - OH MY!


Welcome to the kick off of Whimsy Stamps Release Week!  When I saw this background stamp my eyes bugged right out of my head!  It's called Flower Puff Background.  


You know what?  You could also color it to look like succulents in beautiful shades of greens!!!!  Yeah, didn't have time to do that. This image was cut out by one die set, Shaker Maker Combo Die Set .  Every other layer is popped up for dimension. 

I used just a few colors and it really was fast coloring.
BV20, R35 (just a touch) R32, R30, E74 and a yellow pencil here and there.  Over the yellow pencil, I put a touch of Yellow Bird Nuvo Glitter Drops.
