Goodmorning Everyone! You will notice ... no WOJ sneak peek. My postie did not bring my much anticipated WOJ DT package....pure torture...my fingers are itching to get a hold of them now that I am seeing the DT's fabulous creations!But I couldn't stay disappointed because he did bring my Whimsy New Release stamps! Happy Dance! They again are featuring Emma & Connor and they are just adorable. They are available now on the Whimsy web-site!
Now, I didn't get the chance to play with them yet but I have a new card to show you featuring Whimsy's Emma with Pajamas. I only used a portion of the stamp and I tried to give the card a more old-fashioned look by sponging the edges and adding swirls!
Usually I color my backgrounds by using the Copic Airbrush system but I know that if you are just starting out...you may not have this system yet. For this card, I did the background just by coloring with a very light marker (V000). I held my marker more at a tilt and that way I had a larger surface area of the marker touching my paper rather than just the tip. I worked fairly fast to make sure it would look even. So there you are......how to get the look without spending the $$$!
I made this card for Whimsical Wednesdays which is being held at SNR's Card Universe. The challenge is to make a card following this sketch (actually one of mine) and you have until Wednesday 25th to enter. All details can be found here. You can win a new Whimsy stamp!

I have another Whimsy card to show you. This one is a sample invitation I have made for a little girls' birthday party. When I saw this carriage in the Whimsy Wedding line, I thought it was so versatile. I embossed the image and then airbrushed with my copic system. Then I added stickles to the inside of the carriage and along the perimeter of the card. I little white taffeta bow and some gemstones in the corners and it was done!Wow...this ended up being a long post! Thanks for staying till the end! I was so excited about my new whimsy cards that I had to show you both of them at once!
Enjoy your day!
