Christmas Elf

Here is a sneak peek at one of my latest rubber images for Whimsy - "Christmas Elf"! It will be in the Whimsy Stamps store very soon! (Sept 2017) Also coming are the holly dies I used on this card in a nice set of Christmas branches, so check the store on Thursday Sept 7th!

I used some of Tracy's gorgeous Christmas paper (digital) found at the Whimsy Store HERE

Also used a Spellbinders oval die for the main image, and a flourish die (the flourish at the bottom). I made the poinsettia with the Build A Poinsettia Die from Whimsy.

The red wrinkly paper is some hand made paper I got a long time ago in a pack at Costco. 

Here is the Copic list: 

Skin: E0000, 00, 11, V95, R30 blush

Reds: R17, 29, 89

Greens: YG01, 03, 05, 45 as well as Prismacolour Light Olive Green

Hair: E08, 15, 97

Blue ball: B32, 34, 37

Whites: B000, BV20

W00, 1, 3 as ground shadow

I also used Prismacolour Pencils over top the image in places to bring out more shadows and highlights.  So this is a mixed media image. 

I joined in a couple of challenges at Splitcoaststampers:

WT651 - In Three (I used three holly die cuts and the elf has a hat with three peaks)

SCSCCSEP17 - memories (I have a fond memory of seeing real (to me) elves on Christmas eve when I was around 6!)

And the Fussy And Fancy Challenge - Anything Goes, mixed media (I used Copics and Coloured Pencils)

Thanks for looking today!

Gingerbread Man

Yeehaw, another Christmas card done! I am really adding to my list these days and I just love it!

This is my Gingerbread Man for Whimsy Stamps.  I coloured it with Copics and added a layer of coloured pencils on top to really blend and bring out the shadows.

I have a Copic colouring tutorial on this image, so if you are interested, here is the LINK

Copic list: 

0 blender

E15, 37, 47

BV20, 23, B000

R14, 27, 59

I used Tracy's gorgeous Christmas papers that are found HERE

I was out shopping the other day and found a package of wooden tags that were blank.   I was able to fit a slice of one of Tracy's papers onto it, and it fit three sentiments from the paper just perfectly! I just glued it onto the tag and I was done! 

The holly and mistletoe branch are a sneak peek at a new die set (designed by Yours Truly!) coming out in just a few days at Whimsy! 

Thanks so much for looking!
