Dream the Impossible: Whimsy May Release Showcase Day 4

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to Day 4 of the Whimsy Stamps May Release Showcase!  On May 23rd, Whimsy Stamps is released 20 new rubber stamp images, 5 Shapeology Dies, and 3 Shape EZ files.  All the new stamps are available for purchase in the Whimsy Store.   You can see the entire release over on the Whimsy blog.

From May 23rd until May29th, the Whimsy DT and Special Guests will be showcasing the 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 will have 24hrs to enter each prize draw by leaving a comment on every blog listed for that day.


I used the absolutely gorgeous Hopeful image from Sylvia Zet's Wee Stamps line.    It think this might be one of my all time favorite images.  It's just beautiful!

I colored the image with copic markers (listed below) and used some patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Dolled Up paper pad.  I used a sentiment from the Magical Mini Letter Seals set and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  (I'm also playing along with the current Wild Orchid Crafts challenge which is Anything Goes.)


At the end of release week (Wednesday 30 May) we will post a Release Round-Up on the Whimsy blog. This will include a selection of DT work from the new release week together with a complete list of winners from the daily mini blog hops. To be entered into today's mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT posts listed below by 12:00PM EST tomorrow:


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 to find out if you're a winner!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Niki
