Hi Everyone!
Now I have had this little stamp for probably around one or two years and this is the very first time I have actually inked her up - how bad is that - but I bet I am not the only person who is guilty of this am I (you all know who you are - rofl) - in fact I have had this stamp that long I don't think you can get her any more from the Official Whiff of Joy website! (I am hanging my head in shame!)
So here is the finished version:
The recipe for the card is as follows:
So lastly, but by no means least, here is the final picture of the inside of my card - without verse as usual:
I am entering this card into the Sketch and Stash Challenge where this week the sketch is:
I am also going to enter this card into the Sir Stampalot challenge where this month the theme is "Whatever You Fancy".
Thank you so much for popping by - I really do appreciate it and I love receiving and reading your comments.
Take care y'all.
I hope you are all well.
What has happened to our Summer and where is our sunshine? It's feels that cold that I've put my central heating on (although I will switch it off super quick before the other half gets home from his day on the golf course - heh heh!). Typical though, I'm on my hols and all it's doing is raining - but on a positive note it gives me some time to create in my craft room (every cloud has a silver lining!).
I have a card to show you today that I used with an old Whiff of Joy Guardian Angel stamp called "Melinda Reading Book".

So here is the finished version:
The recipe for the card is as follows:
Stamp: Whiff of Joy Guardian Angel Collection "Melinda Reading Book"
Papers: Prima "Madeline" Collection
Seam Binding: Wild Orchid Crafts "Lite Mink"
Charms & Pearls: The Hobby House
Flowers: From My Stash
The image has been coloured with Copics as follows:
Skin: E21 E00 E000 R20 R30
Hair: E37 E35 E33
Top & Headbands: BG13 BG11 BG000
Trousers: E29 E27 E25
Book: E55 E53 E51 E41 E40 E35
Shading: W6 W3 W1
Outline: BG10 BG000 Blender Pen
I have also used Walnut Stain Distress Ink for edging everything in sight!
I have had those beautiful Prima Madeline papers for quite some time as well, I just haven't been brave enough to cut into them - lol. The good thing with this card though is that you only have to use two pieces of paper out of the set - phew!
I have used some Tim Holtz Picket Fence Crackle Paint on the silver corner, then once it is dry I have dabbed some Walnut Stain distress ink on top before going over it with Star Dust Stickles. I really like the effect this has given as the Stickles has really brought out the Walnut Stain colour - although I don't know whether you will be able to see it well enough on the photo:
As you can see, another new fetish of mine is adding a little ink to the flowers before being given the Stickle treatment but this time I actually managed not to edge the seam binding with ink although I was sooooo tempted!
Here is a picture of those cute little charms from The Hobby House - Jill has some wonderful charms and spacers so if you need any go and check out her website.
