Amy

Hiya everyone.  It's Annette here today using Whimsy's Amy from The Stamp Basket.  I've opted for a beautiful purple colour scheme for this card, and really tried harder with my colouring of the image.  I've coloured her first with copics, and then done some highlighting and shading with my pencils.  I worked for ages on her hair with both the copics and pencils, and it went from looking worse than my usual attempts can manage, to being what I now consider to be adequate.  I think I need to revisit the hair colouring department!! LOL.

I added some tufts of grass at her feet using a flicking motion with really sharp pencils in a few different shades of green.

I've also included two lovely dies, both coloured in some way; the picket fence was cut in white card, and then coloured with copics and pencils, and the honeyblossom sprig was cut in purple card and I used a dark purple copic to give the flower centres some depth before adding a huge pearl centre.

I've stitched around the image and DP panels, added a beautiful bow in the gorgeous sparkly sheer white ribbon, a few pearls and some flowers, and voilà!

All items are from The Stamp Basket as follows:

• Image - Amy from Whimsy Stamps
• Sentiment is typed (HandwritingFont)
• Cardworks Shaped Card base
• Whimsy Dies Picket Fence
• Memory Box Honeyblossom Sprig
• 5mm Lilac Pearls (tri-colour in one sheet)
• Liquid Pearls
• Hobby House 8mm Pearl Brad
• Hobby Bouse 8mm Ivory Pearls
• Sheer White Ribbon
• From my stash - Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Purple ribbon scraps, Sewing machine,

Hi everyone. My turn to post today and I thought I’d share a card I’ve made using a Whimsy stamp called ‘Amy’…I just love these stamps by Sylvia Zett…such cute, sunny characters and a real joy to colour too!

The paper is from the pretty Prima Meadowlark Collection…isn’t this pad just gorgeous?!?...and then matted onto Fairy Dust Bazzill card. The sentiment is from the Tina Wenke ‘With Love’ set of stamps by Stampavie which has been die cut with one of the new Memory Box Marshmallow Clouds dies…I am so loving these new dies! There are two clouds in this particular set; this is the smaller of the two and just right for small sentiments or tags!  

Amy has been coloured with copics and ‘blinged’ with stickles:
