Two Turtle Doves

Hello everyone! Cindy here today to share a "Christmas in July" card with you. For my card I used an image from Elisabeth Bell called "Two Turtle Doves"


I thought a shaker card would be adorable with this image. I colored it with my Copics.



The colors I used:

C00, C2, C4
E21, E23, E27
E50, E51, E53
E08, E13, E15, E19
E41, E42, E43, E44, E49
E77
YR21, YR23
YG91, YG93, YG97


I hope this inspires you!

Have a great weekend!
Cindy

Peace on Earth and Snowman String of Hearts

Hi Whimsy Fans, Ellie here today!
I am taking a little break from card making this month, but had some time at the beginning of the month to get out the gorgeous stamp set "Peace on Earth" illustrated by Crissy Armstrong, and I created this card.
I used distress inks and a mix of stamps to create the background. The angel was colored with copics and fussy cut. As you can see it's a pretty simple card design, I did end up distressing the edges and also did some simple sewing. Glitter was added to the wings.

Whimsy Products used:


I thought I'd share a second card with you, that's a bit older, but hasn't been shared here on this blog yet. Hope you like it :-)

 This card is one of my all time favorite Christmas cards I ever made. It's just a simple sketch, paired with some pretty papers and copics for coloring.

Whimsy Products Links:
The sentiment and papers are also from Whimsy Stamps, but have been retired.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. 
I hope you are enjoying our "Christmas in July" event here at Whimsy Stamps!
