Hi Everyone! Today, Whimsy Stamps is releasing 20 new rubber stamp images, 5 Shapeology Dies, and 3 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 29 May 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.
For my card today, I used the adorable Baby Boy Ellie image from illustrator Crissy Armstrong. Isn't he so cute?! I colored the image with copic markers (listed below) and used some patterned papers from My Mind's Eye's Everyday Flair paper pad. The sentiment is from the Welcome Baby Sentiments set.
At the end of release week (Wednesday 30 May) 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:
Colleen Schaan - Special Guest
Debbie Eastman
Ellie Stover
Iris Wiechmann
Tammy Louise Cunliffe
Remember that the entire new release is available to buy right now from the Whimsy Stamps store along with all your Whimsy favorites.
