Whimsy Stamps is releasing 19 fantastic new rubber stamps and 5 wonderful new Shapeology dies today together with 2 brand new Shape EZ templates! These new goodies are available to buy right now from the Whimsy Stamps store along with all your Whimsy favourites. (NB All Raindrop Echo Designs February stamps and 2 of this month's Shapeology dies were released last week as part of the ‘3 Companies’ blog hop).
From today until 28 February the Whimsy DT and Special Guests will be showcasing these fabulous 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.
From this release onwards we are doing things a little differently. At the end of release week (Wednesday 29 January) a special Release Round-Up will be posted on the Whimsy blog. This post will include a selection of new release DT work from the previous week together with a complete list of winners from the daily mini blog hops.
For my card today, I decided to use the cute new Party Time Cat image from Meljen's Designs. It's perfect to celebrate the new release! I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink. Then, I colored it with copic markers that coordinate with the patterned papers I chose from My Mind's Eye's Lime Twist: Fly a Kite paper pad. I used these marker colors: YG61, YG63, YG67, YG97, YG99, YG03, YG05, YG07, YG09, YR14, YR16, YR18, E43, E44, E47, E49, R30, R32, R24, R27, R46, E19, E31, BG53, BG75, colorless blender. I masked the image with some Eclipse Masking Tape and used my air compressor to spray the sky.
I added some stitching to my layers, some Maraschino red baker's twine, and red buttons before assembling everything. I used a sentiment from the Retro Bottle Cap Sentiments set along with the Bottle Cap Die.
You can see a full list of all of the new images over on the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Blog.
