Whimsy Stamps January Release

Hi Everyone!  I'm excited today to share that I joined the Whimsy Stamps design team this month as a full time designer!  They have such adorable images and great sentiments and I'm excited to get to work with them again.  Thanks so much to Denise for inviting me to join the team!

Today is the release day for January stamps.  You can purchase the stamps right now in the Whimsy Stamps store.  Over the next week, the design team will be sharing samples that we've created with the new stamps.  (Scroll down to see my card below.)

For my card today, I had to use the adorable Heart Hugs image designed by Crissy Armstrong.  I always love Crissy's adorable images!  I stamped the image with tuxedo black memento ink.  Then, I colored the image with these copic markers: R83, R85, R89, R27, R46, T1, T3, E31, E33, E35, E37, E59, colorless blender.  I used some patterned papers from the Lost & Found: Blush paper pad from  My Mind's Eye.  I also used the Double Scalloped Border die  and the sentiment is from the Love Letter Seals stamp set.  I finished the card off with some stitching, a red button, and some baker's twine.

You can see a full list of all of the new images over on the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Blog.
