 I printed this one gnome of many in the set and added Naughty or Nice to the scroll so it looks ;like Santa's list, colored him with Copic Markers and cut him out.

For the background I've used Distress inks in greyish blue colors and whatever was on the ink blending tool. It's a stencil from Studio Light Essentials (SL-ES-Mask36)

Splattered the scene with white acrylic paint for snow.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things (Bitty Holiday Whishes) and I stamped it with Versafine.

Mounted the gnome with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase.

Swim time mouse

 

Another digi from the Meijens collection from Whimsy stamps digis: Swim Time Mouse.

I printed it on watercolor paper with my laser printer and colored the image with Talens ecoline and had the Scan n cut cut him out, in the process some of the swirly bits you'll see on the original file, but that's OK with me, especially for the card I made.

I sprayed a fixative on it and one the "sea"I made by inking up a few bits of vellum and then tore it into strips for waves, I also splattered the waves with water for bubbles and some mice ink for a glorious shimmer, you might or might not be able to see on camera

Cut a mat from cardstock, stamped the sentiment from a Whimsy  Stamps clear set (Hippo Beach fun)m let it dry, didn't take that long in this heat wave ha!

Wrapped the strips of vellum around the panel and adhered them on the back, then tucked in the mouse and a few fishes, there's 3 in the set Scuba bear, also from the July release, I just printed a few more and had some left over from last week. I tried to keep the colors to a minimum, so they all share the same colors with the  mouse image. 

Mounted the panel with foam tape and adhered it to a card base.

Scuba diving bear

 Hi, this week I'm using a digi from  Whimsy Stamps' the Meijens Digital Collection Scuba bear.
I made it into a shaker with a round window, like a porthole but still Clean And Simple.

I started by printing the image on watercolor paper that still fits y laser printer, then painted it with Talens Liquid watercolors.m Had the scan n Cut do the cutting, it chopped off the swirly bits, but I prefer it like this anyway as you wouldn't see much of the sea behind him otherwise.

I cut a "porthole" from a card panel and traced the opening onto another panel.

This so I know where to apply Distress inks and use this panel as a lid for my shaker. 

I've used Distress inks: Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Uncharted Mariner and splattered water for bubbles.

For the sentiment i've used the Whimsy Simple Sentiment strips (clear stamps) and Versafine ink to stamp it.

To build up the shakercard I added a sheet of acetate for the window with taperunner and the shaker portion with two layers of foamtape around the porthole.

The bear I mounted with one layer of the same foamtape so the fishes and confetti could move behind the bear, some got squished between the bear and window, but I'm hopefull that, once the static diminishes, they'll start to move.

You can find the digi in the Whimsy store here.

AAA Cards Challenge #220 Along the Edge + Under the Sea

 
This fortnight we're playing along the edge+ the optional twist of "under the sea", under, in , on: everything goes as long as it's along one edge.

For my card I stamped the Octopi Guys from Whimsy Stamps, coloured him with Copics and cut him out. I left a kind of tab on the side, so when I stick him under the panel I don't lose any of the image and I have something to stick down.

I then measured, masked and ink blended the left edge with Distress inks : Broken China, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire. Splattered with water.

Then I stamped the fishes  and algae from Marianne Design (EC0190) with Versafine ink, same with the sentiment. Diecut the fishes (Joy Crafts 6002/1457) from orange card and the algae with green card.

Measured the width for my panel, cut it to size, stamped the sentiment from Octopi Guys with Versafine ink. Glued the octopus on the back, mounted the panel with foam tape and adhered it to the cardbase.

For more information or to play along the AAA Cards Challenge, see this.

Naughty

 

There's a new challenge over at Less is More: Traditional Christmas.

So I thought I could use this Digi from Last Minute Manda : Gnorman Naughty or Nice.

I added the sentiment whilst I was prepping the image on the PC.

Printed it on watercolor paper with my laser printer and then colored it with Talens Ecoline, that's a liquid watercolor medium. I added blue, I think it needed it and brown is  very Christmas Trunk to me, or cinnamon bark, you know it goes in my head.

Added the panel to the cardbase with taperuner.

Whimsy Stamps Playful Dragon

 

Hi, this week I've used the Whimsy Stamps Playful dragon digi, together with one of the rats from Say Cheese a clear set.

To me it looks like the Dragon is looking at something, so I made a scene where the Dragon and Rat are pointing towards each other, or maybe High Five-ing.

I printed the digi and sentiment on Copic Safe paper and the rat on a separate piece and cut him out. Colored both images with Alcohol markers, cut it smaller so I could mount in on a cardbase with a nice border. Stuck the rat in position. Slathered the Dragon with Nuvo Shimmer pen.
