"Let's Get Sketchy" Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #38

Hello Whimsical Crafters. Hope you are all having a great week so far, the weekend will be here before we know it. Let's get right down to business. This week we had the pleasure of working with a sketch that our DT sister, Nanne, created just for this challenge. Here is the sketch for the challenge this week:
Super fun! This week the theme is all up to you, just follow the sketch. Here is my take:
This week  the designers got to work with the super adorable digital images from The Stamp Fairy. My teddy bear couple, Donna and Donny Love was so much fun to color, and I think they are so cute! I cut them out with my Nesties, Scalloped Oval, and colored them with my Prisma Colored Pencils. I inked the edge and added some glitter. The bottom layer has some Ranger Enamel Accents added to the outer edge. The hearts were cut from Doodle Charms at three different sizes, and coated in glitter. The paper is from the Bo Bunny "Crush" Collection. For my sentiment, "Everything is better by with you by me side," I stamped it with versa mark and then embossed it using Red Dragon Stampendous Embossing Power. I love it because it is a glitter powder. The sentiment is from the Whimsical Designs "With Love" stamp set. Here is the rest of the set:
This is just one of the sets in my new release. You can find the others in my shop by clicking on the shop button on the top of my blog header.

Now for the Whimsical designers "Sketchy" projects:
I love the papers Shelly chose for her card, and the bear. She stamped the  "I <3" sentiment from the Whimsical Designs "With Love" set, and stamped it on twill tape, so creative.
Karen added such beautiful texture, and details to her card. I love the way she curved the "Let's Celebrate" sentiment from Whimsical Designs Everyday Sentiments stamp set.
Gigi did an amazing job with her evergreen tree, so much dimension. I like the little banner she created for the "Baby It's Cold Outside" sentiment from Whimsical Designs, Snow Much Fun stamp set.
You can not help but laugh when you see this card, it so playful and fun. Margie picked the perfect sentiment "You're my person" from the Whimsical Designs, Whimsical Fun Vol. 1 stamp set, to pair up with this little monster.
Up until now, Nanne, for the most part, has been a scrapbooker and is new to making cards. She is doing an amazing job, and this card is no exception. The sentiment "Today, Tomorrow, Always...." from the Whimsical Designs, With Love, stamp set is the perfect finishing touch to this elegant card.
Sabrina's winter card is so much fun, and has so many pretty embellishments:) It is only fitting that she paired up her snowman with the "all my friends are Flakes" sentiment from the Whimsical Designs Snow Much Fun, stamp set.


This week we have two guest joining us from the Stamp Fairy DesignTeam:

Stephanie, you are a pro when it comes to those Prisma pencils! Love the coloring on the bears! I'm digging the way the heat embossed sentiment looks in that fabulous red and I'll bet those glittery hearts are even more sparkly in real life....love that look!
Amazing job, as always, Whimsical Designers! Now if I can just remember to use your techniques, I'll be in pretty good shape. Each week, there's at least 3 or 4 things that really catch my eye and although I make the mental note to try them out, it seems to go in one ear and out the other! Wonder if I can just cram it all on to one card? LOL!

Nanne said...

hugs
