Whimsy party pig

Posted on by Liz

Apparently it’s May. Not entirely sure how that happened, but hey it’s mean there’s a new release up at Whimsy Stamps! I used Crissy’s party pig for my card and can you see what I’ve done different?

Yup. Pencils. Pencils on kraft. Until about a week ago I hadn’t coloured up with pencils before, not even had a try I was unhappy with. I simply hadn’t tried. I’d been told it was difficult, so I’ve just put it up and stuck with my Copics even if I got my pencils as a gift well over three years ago! I finally tried them and they are so much fun! I love the effect I get from using them on kraft paper as well. My Prismacolor pencils are definitely going to be used regularly!

Colouring video: Spring Gnome

Posted on by Liz

It is time for the second video that I uploaded to YouTube yesterday. It is a part of the Whimsy Stamps monthly tutorial for us digital design team members. This month it was my turn. Here I have coloured up the cool spring gnome. The stamp is printed at approximately the size 2 1/2″ by 2 1/2″ on Copic colouring paper. There is no audio on this video.

The colours I’ve used for this video are: (hat) B21, B23, B26, B39, (grass) YG01, YG23, YG17, YG99, (beard and flower white) N1, N3, (bee and centre flower yellow) N5, N7, N9, B21, B23, Y13, Y17, YR16, E08, (skin) E00, E02, E13, E15

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.

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 Elephant

Posted on by Liz

Time for another Whimsy Stamps project. This adorable stamp is called Well Rounded Elephant and was part of the February release. I decided it would look cute on a layered card with out too many embellishments, so I went with floral patterned paper and kept it all flowery and happy.

I’ve used my N copics to colour up the elephant
