Whimsy Stamps is releasing 6 new Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps today and these new goodies are available to buy right now from the Whimsy Stamps store along with all your Whimsy favourites.

The Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests have been showcasing these fabulous stamps for the past 3 days, and today we are celebrating their release with a BLOG HOP! We are delighted to welcome our wonderful special guests who are joining the Whimsy DT for this hop - Elaine Hughes, Alberto Gava, Mariska van der Veer, Jacque Beddingfield, Dena Concienne, Tab Robinson and Sylvia Zet herself!

If you would like to hop along with us today and haven’t arrived from Erin's blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the beginning of the hop at Ann’s blog.

I am so excited to show you the card I created for today. I absolutely love this stamp! And I am so in love with the earthy colors I used on today's card.

Photobucket

I colored the image using my derwent coloursoft pencils and baby oil, skin tones with copic markers.
The sentiment is from an old and retired set from Stampin Up. I used the direct to paper technique on the sentiment and distressed the edges.

I would love to enter this card to the following challenges:

I have another project to show you too, I have always wanted to try "stamping" on a candle, and I thought this stamp would be perfect for it. I can't believe how easy it actually was to do. If you'd like to try it, here is the tutorial I used from Splitcoaststampers.



After transferring the image onto the candle I used some gold stickles for some sparkle.


And now it’s time for you to continue the hop by hopping over to Mariska's blog.

Finally, here is a complete blog hop list in hopping order in case you get lost:


Thank you so much for hopping with us today and I hope you enjoy the new release!
