Sunday Sketch and Stamp

hello!!!  The SSS site was having technical difficulties, so the challenge is a bit late this week.  What a fun sketch!!!  I made a card for my brand new niece, Sophia.  The carriage is from an old SU set, buggies and booties, which is one of my all time favorites.  I then masked the carriage and stamped Life Defined from Whimsy Stamps over it.  The ribbon is the seam binding from SU which I crinkled with shimmer spritz.  The papers are from MME's girl pack.  I also added some distressed glitter to the edges and distressed them with scissors.  The flowers are from Wild Orchids.

Sunday Sketch and Stamp with a Whimsy Sneak peek!

Hi All!!  It's time for another fun sketch at Sunday Sketch and stamp!!   I used a new sneak peek image from Whimsy Stamps for my card this fortnight.  This is Brooklyn Babe from Kenny K.  Super sassy huh?  The sentiments are digi's from whimsy as well, created by Ann Vento.  The paper is actually ski slope or something like that from SU.  I stamped the orange layer lightly with classified ads also from Whimsy.  If you don't have classified ads yet, it's on sale for 7.50$ today, an awesome price for such a great background stamp!!!!

Whimsy Sneak Peek

Hi all!!  Here come the Whimsy Sneak Peeks for the March release!!! YAY!!!  And this one is fabulous, tons of new images, sentiments and two new dies!!!!
I used Valerie with kitty from Crissy Armstrong for this one as well as the fancy bench from the last release.  The sentiment is brand new too!!  It's from Ann Vento!  A fun new line of tickets!  I cut it out with the ticket die, which if you don't have that yet...get it!  What a time saver!
The papers are DCWV from the once upon a time collection.  The circle layer has been embossed with my CB.  I also used wide striped ribbon from SU with a jumbo grommet.  Finally I added some wild orchid flowers, pearls and stickles.
