Yesterday I spent most of the day playing with my very first and brand new Paper Smooches stamps. Fun!!! :-D Today I want to share with you a Whimsical Wishes Card I made using them.
First I stamped this cute gnome from Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set, colored him with colored and aquarell pencils, fussy cut him and colored edges with black fine liner.
Using blending tool, I colored white paper with Mustard Seed Distressed Ink (I love this yellow) and splattered it with water. This is the first time I did this when coloring with distressed ink and I love it! :-D
I added dimensional foam behind gnome and placed him onto a card.
At the end I stamped sentiment and flowers from Paper Smooches 'Forest Whimsy' stamp set onto colored layer.
Card dimensions are 105 mm x 148 mm (4 1/8" x 5 7/8").

Everyone loves Paper Smooches stamps! They are so darn fun! I have this dwarf and just adore him and I'm loving your design with him, Milka! (If you remember next Christmas, I think he also makes the best Santa when you color him in red and put a little white cotton ball on the top of his cap!) Thank you so much for joining in my NBUS Challenge #3! Have a great weekend!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is a great creation! Thanks for playing at PTW! xxx
