Hey everyone, I am here today with some awesome Whimsy Stamps inspirations for you all!

I painted this darling image up using my inktense penicils. I love taking them from the pencil with my brush and then layering them onto the image. this image just wanted to stand alone with a darling sentiment all by its self! And it works perfectly!!

MFT Sketch Challenge 329

Posted in CLean and simple, Copic, My Favorite Things, Uncategorized by

Hey everyone! I am sharing a card I made for the MFT Sketch Challenge 329. I really love all the challenges, and I have an obsession with MFT stamps.

MFT - up in the air.jpg

I stamped and masked a bunch of the images from the MFT – Up In The Air, and the little hills come from the MFT – Ewe are the best set. I cut a bunch of masks using masking paper in order to create this scene on a single layer panel for the card. I then coloured it all up with my copic markers, and created the card based on the awesome sketch from MFT!

I wanted something fun and different in the background so I free handed some splats behind the unicorns.

Pink Splat – RV13, RV11, RV10

Yellow Splat – Y15, Y13, Y11
