Bunnies in the Garden - Whimsy Stamps March Release

Hi Crafty Friends! Welcome on my blog and to Whimsy Stamps March 2024 release. All the products are now live in the store. Here is a link to all new products from March including this release:
March 2024 products

Here is my release inspiration using the super cute Bunnies in the Garden clear stamp set illustrated by the amazingly talented Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps. There are also matching No-Fuss-Masks available for this set and matching outline dies. 

To create my scene I first stamped the images onto a panel of mixed media paper. I also used the No Fuss Masks to overlap some of the images and also to ink the background with Distress Oxide Inks. These masks are such a time saver, no more time-consuming fussy cutting. They fit perfectly and also stay in place while inking. 
I water colored the images with Stabilo Pen 68 markers and added depth and some details using Caran D'ache Luminance pencils.
To complete my scene I die cut different elements from the Slimline Scenic Countryside, Build a Fairy Garden, Slimline Meadow and Slimline Fence die sets (links see below) from various colored cardstock.

Embrace Your Weirdness

Hey Crafty Friends! Before the newest Whimsy release will go live at midnight I have two more cards to share from the February release.

My first one has a Mixed Media touch to it. I used the So Weird clear stamp set together with earlier released products. All products I've used are listed below including links. 

I started out with a kraft cardstock panel. First I've added white paint to distress the cardstock panel a bit. Then I started adding texture with the Harlequin stencil, texture paste and distress crayons. I also added scribbles and doodles using the Mixed Media Bits stamp set with black ink and a golden marker. Finally I've added golden, white and black splatters to the background. I distressed the pink Polaroid die-cut also with white paint, added a stamped doodle and brick wall also from the Mixed Media Bits stamp set. The focal point is the crow image from the So Weird stamp set which I stamped onto kraft cardstock and cut out using the Frame Labels die set. This time I distressed the label with white paint and pink distress crayon. The crow image was also stamped in a lighter tone on the background panel.
The sentiment is from the So Weird stamp set. Only embellishment is a decorative paperclip that finishes off my card. 


On my second card I used the Floral Stairway stamp again. This time I only colored the flowers and left everything else black and white. I simple sentiment and some confetti sequins finishing off my card.
