Fairy Happy Birthday: Whimsy Stamps June Release

Hi Everyone!  I can't believe how long it's been since I posted last.  Things have been busy with family stuff and I haven't been creating cards much lately.  I did get a chance yesterday to sit down and create a card to share one of the new Whimsy Stamps images.  Such cute new images!

Today, Whimsy Stamps is releasing 19 new rubber stamp images, 5 Shapeology Dies, and a 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 today until June 26, the Whimsy DT and Special Guests will be showcasing these wonderful 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.

(you can click on the photos for a larger version)

For my card, I used the new Mountain Lily image from Sylvia Zet's Wee Stamps line.  It's such a beautiful image and so much fun to color!  I used patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Stella Rose paper pad and colored the image with copic markers (listed below).  The sentiment is from the Magical Mini Letter Seals set.  I used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  (I'm playing along with the Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge which is Anything Goes.)


At the end of release week (Wednesday June 27th), 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.
