Moments Filled with Wonder: Whimsy April Release Showcase Day 7

Hi Everyone!  Today is the last day of the Whimsy Stamps April Release Showcase.  Whimsy had their April release last Wednesday so all the new stamps, dies, and template files are available for purchase right now in the store.  The design team and special guests are having mini blog hops each day until April 24th.  There are gorgeous samples and chances to win a free stamp each day so be sure to hop around and leave comments.  :)

For my card today, I decided to use the adorable Goldie image from Sylvia Zet's Wee Stamps line.  I just love this little cutie!  I used a sentiment from the Magical Mini Letter Seals stamp set.  (You can click on all the photos to see the larger full size version.)

I used some patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody paper pad.  I colored the image with copic markers (listed below) and added a little glitter to the flowers on the image.  I added a paper doily and a silver filigree corner, cherry blossom and sweetheart blossom flowers, and pearl spray from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I added some Stardust stickles to my flowers.  (I wish you could see the sparkle better in the photos because it's really pretty on the flowers.)  I made my bow and ribbon strip from some cheesecloth I bought at my local grocery store.  I really love the texture it adds.

Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw.

Hi Niki!

I love the entire color scheme and of course the stamp, but the ingenious use of a winter tree branch die for an underwater coral looking leaf tops the cake! Great idea and inspiration! Thanks

Miki, this is so lovely. I like the soft colours you've used as well they just make your little Goldie pop on the front of your gorgeous card.

I want to thank you for this fabulous week long blog hop and the chance to win something from this brilliant new release at Whimsy.
