Smiles Across the Miles: Whimsy Release Showcase Day 2


Welcome to Day 2 of the Whimsy Stamps January Rubber Die Release Showcase! On January 18th,  Whimsy Stamps released this month's rubber designs and new shapeology dies. From then until 25 January the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new stamps and dies with a daily mini blog 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 Inspirations blog after 12.00PM EST on January 25th.


For my card today, I decided to use the adorable Wee Bunny image by Sylvia Zet.  I just love Sylvia's illustration style!  I stamped the image with tuxedo black memento ink.  Then, I colored the image with these copic markers: R30, R20, R22, YG93, YG95, YG97, YG99, W1, W3, W5, W7, BG72, BG75, BG0000, colorless blender.  I used some patterned papers from the Stella and Rose: Hazel paper pad from  My Mind's Eye.  I also used the Mini Postage Stamp Die  and the sentiment is from the Everyday Mini Postage Stamps set.  I finished the card off with some stitching, a black button, and some baker's twine.


Be sure to hop around to the rest of these designer's blogs to see what they created with the new stamps:


Remember that the entire new release is available to buy right now from the Whimsy Stamps store along with all your Whimsy favourites.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check the Whimsy Inspirations blog tomorrow for more new release creations!
