Sending You Sunshine: Whimsy March Release Showcase Day 7


Hello and welcome to Day 7 of our March Rubber & Die Release Showcase!  On Wednesday (21 March) Whimsy Stamps released this month's rubber designs, new Shapeology dies and new Shape EZ templates. From then until 27 March the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!


For my card today, I  used the beautiful Cinammon Sugar image from illustrator Elisabeth Bell.  It's such a pretty image.  I colored the image with copic markers (colors listed below) and used patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Lost & Found: Blush paper pad.  I added a sentiment from The Good Life Tickets stamp set and a paper doily.  I finished my card off with some crocheted lace from May Arts, some seam binding, and some flowers and pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts (5mm white pearls colored with copic marker, 2 tone 4mm baby pink/ivory rose buds, and 2 tone pale pink/ivory cherry blossoms).

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 blog on 28 March.

Here's a list of the rest of the designers who've created beautiful samples to share with you today:


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

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