Whimsy Oak Tree boy

Posted on by Liz

It’s August, can you believe it? Time has flown by so quickly this summer! It also means that Christmas is going to be coming up fast, like it does every year. Therefore I’ve opted to make a Christmas card out of my new release card for Whimsy Stamps. The stamp is from the Wee Stamps collection and is called Oak Tree Boy. It is also available as a rubber stamp. I first cut all the three layers of papers into panel sizes. Then I die cut first the darker blue background using the Wavy Edgers set and then used the same die to cut the coloured panel a bit smaller. I kept the angles slightly differently so there’d be more of the darker paper on one side. To finish it off I used a sentiment from the Merry and Bright set along with some of their enamel dots.

Copics used: (skin) E00, E02, E13, E15, (rusty red) E08, E18, E49, E97, (green) BG90, BG93, BG96, BG99, (blue) B91, B93, B95, B97, B99, (white) N0, N1, N3, (black) N3, N5, N7, N9, (brown) E70, E74, E77, (hair) E23, E27, E29, (yellow) Y32, Y35, Y38, E34,
(red) R24, R29, N7

Whimsy Wee Dolly

Posted on by Liz

June is here and that means not only summer is official here, but also the new release over at Whimsy Stamps. For my release project this month I’ve coloured up Dolly from the Wee Stamps collection using Copic Marker. The text is in Norwegian and means “I greatly appreciate you”.

I’ve done similar to what I did on the card a few days ago, but instead of die cutting the background paper I’ve instead die cut the panel I’ve coloured up and made a long card instead of a tall one. It’s great how you can use one die to get different looking cards. You can find the border die here. And if you like to jazz up the text using some big letters, Whimsy has a great set here.

Copics used: (skin) E000, E00, E02, E13, E15, (hair) E08, E18, E49, E97, (green) G21, G24, G94, G99, (pink) RV10, RV17, RV32, RV34, (white) N0, N1, N3

Colouring video: Jillian and Friends

Posted on by Liz

I have made a video using one of the Whimsy Stamps images. (Actually I’ve made two, and they are both up on YouTube, but I will link the other one here tomorrow.) This time I’ve coloured up the girl from the Jillian and Friends stamp set. Here I will also be colouring in some grass under the girl’s feet as you can se below.

The stamp is printed at approximately 2 1/4″ by 3 1/4″ on Copic colouring paper and I have finally had time to do audio to a video again so I will be talking you through my colouring of this image.

If you’d rather watch it directly on You Tube, click here.

The colours used for this video are: (skin) E000, E00, E02, E13, E15, (hair) E21, E25, E27, E29, (grass) YG01, YG23, YG17, YG97, (yellow) Y13, Y17, YR16, E08, (blue) B21, B23, B26, B39, (white) N0, N1, N3

I have also made a card using this image. You can see it below:

Whimsy Jillian

Posted on by Liz

There is a new digital release at Whimsy Stamps because apparently it’s April already. How that happened, I’m not entirely sure… I’ve coloured Jillian and her little bird friend up with Copics as usual. She is a fun one to colour up, even if the hair tends to take a bit of time.

I’ve kept the card simple by using paper from Maja Design and Reprint as well as Make it Crafty chipboard and Rayher butterflies.

Whimsy Daphne

Posted on by Liz

Time for another Whimsy Stamps inspirational post. For this one I’ve used Daphne from the Wee Stamps collection. It must be one of the first times I’ve actually managed to use an Easter related stamp close to Easter!

It’s been coloured up with Copic Marker as per usual and I’ve made it into a layered card using Maja Design paper, my favorite lace, ribbon from a local shop and dies from MFT Stamps, La-La Land Crafts and Rayher.

A list of what colours I used will be added later today.
