I just love this sentiment by Whipper Snapper! It makes you giggle, yet gives you something to think about at the same time! I thought it would be cute paired with Leah, another Whipper Snapper image. It looks like the poor kitty is the one getting a headache though.
You may not be able to see it well, but I made some dots around the main image with a tracing wheel used for sewing. It doesn’t quite pierce all the way through the paper. I remembered seeing a similar effect on one of Anna Wight’s cards. I don’t know what she used…. maybe it was the same tool?

This cute image is from Anna Wight’s newest unmounted set, Bundle of Joy by Whipper Snapper. All of the images are sooo cute….I couldn’t choose which to use first! I finally decided that I’d hang this one from the moon. The strings were hand drawn. I also wanted a star shaped embellishment and spied some felt flowers that I purchased from JoAnn’s. The purple-ish one was the perfect color so I cut the petals into points and voila~ a star!
I started this card by matching colors to the designer paper. Almost Amethyst and Celery were a perfect match. I always have a hard time pairing colors up with Almost Amethyst so I was surprised at how much I liked this color combo.

Penny is one stylin’ chick in this polka-dotted swimsuit! 😉 She is one of my favorites of Anna Wight’s images! I started out wanting to put the words (computer generated) in a circle around her and adding stripes to make it look like a life preserver. But as luck would have it, the colors were not coming together as planned and I messed two of them up while cutting them out. I don’t know why I tried using my Fiskars circle cutter. At that point I gave up and cut layers for the other 2 with the Coluzzle.

I made two more cards with my Whipper Snapper stamps. The first one is with Anna Wight’s Twigs. I love this snowy face! He has been sitting on my desk for months and I finally made a card with him! I thought the patterned paper was perfect for Mr. Twigs, so I drew my colors from there. I finished him just in time- we are getting more snow tonight!

The second card was made with Anna’s Posies For You set and alcohol inks. I also used the Swiss Dots embossing folder again. 😉 Since I had a whole sheet of glossy white and the alcohol inks out, I decided to make more than one of this card. You can see in the thumbnail picture that I started by stamping the roses several times on the glossy white cardstock. Then I applied drops of 3 different colors of ink & the solution onto the felt applicator. The whole sheet was randomly covered with ink and the roses were highlighted with markers.

After the ink from the markers dried well, the roses were cut out with the Coluzzle oval shape. Then I glued them to the gray cardstock and cut them out with scallop scissors. Dots were applied with a white gel pen and it was attached over the ribbon with pop dots. Extra flowers were punched from the left-over cardstock and Stickles was added to the centers.

I pulled out Anna Wight’s “Spring Has Sprung” stamp set last night and this time I used the basket and tulips for the main image. The corners of the pink patterned paper were punched with a trumpet flower corner punch and I inserted a photo corner in the top left to bring out the design a bit. The tulips were highlighted with a glitter pen.

Just having some more fun with Anna’s BoPeep’s Sheep set! I wanted to make a sampler and I originally thought of using a variety of cardstock colors for each square. Well….I guess I got carried away when I was stamping the images onto the white cardstock and never pulled out those other colors. But I think I like it just as well this way if not better. I started out by cutting up my stamped images and arranging / re-arranging them to fit the cardstock base. It really isn’t very difficult. There was a little space left which I decided to just fill in with some eyelets. I have been on a watercolor crayon kick lately and I tried to keep my watercolors in the earth tones but still make it “Springy”. When the coloring was all finished and the pieces were glued in place, I debated on adding some glitter but I think I will leave it as it is.

I wasn’t quite sure how this card would evolve, but I liked how it turned out! I knew that I wanted to put Anna’s roses inside of my Cuttlebug heart so that’s where it started. The die actually cuts 3 hearts at once so I made use of all three, and added different gel pen accents to each one. When searching for ribbon, I decided to add the pink polka-dotted one and tried a different way of placing it on the cardfront. It still seemed to have quite a bit of white space but I didn’t want to add any more paper, so I pierced holes around the outside and also outlining the middle heart. The roses and butterfly were painted with Twinkling H2O’s.
