Clearly Whimsy Stamps March Release Day #3

Wednesday, March 9, 2016

Welcome to the debut release of Whimsy Stamps newest artist/illustrator Nina-Marie Trapani! Nina-Marie has created 4 new clear stamp sets and 2 new Shapeology crafting dies to complement the stamp sets. Each day this week our design team and special guests will be sharing the new products and then on Friday, March 11th customers will be able to purchase them from the Whimsy Stamps Shop. 

Our designers and special guests will be showcasing one of the new stamp sets and dies each day and will be sharing the endless possibilities available with these new products. Be sure to pop over to the Whimsy Stamps blog each morning to see a peek at the creations with links to the designers blogs. We will have chances to win prizes all week long as well! We hope you will join in Monday, March 7th through Friday, March 11th for all the new release festivities! 

Today, we are showcasing the very versatile Hand Stitched Rectangles Die set and the Handmade from Me stamp set.

I started by doing some ink blending on my card panel with various Distress inks and then took a baby wipe and laid it over the ring stencil. I pushed the baby wipe down keeping it steady and this allowed some of the ink to be wicked away and you are left with this really cool effect.  After that was dry, I then die cut the panel with the second to largest stitched rectangle die.

I then stamped the for you image with Versafine ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I added some strips of patterned paper and some clear sequins and the card is done.




And here's a close up of the products from Clearly Whimsy Stamps used on today's card.

What a neat looking card. I think the way you achieved the look sounds like a super fun technique. Thanks for sharing that! The effect is wonderful. You chose some pretty inks, that is for sure. I like the bold heart, too. And how it all pops against the black mat. :)
