Another Whiff of Joy Sneak Peak

Hi there everyone and hope that you’re enjoying the weekend. Today I’d like to show you another card that I’ve made using the gorgeous new stamps from Whiff of Joy that will be available from 1st November.

The image I’ve used for my card is called ‘Angel Boy with Trumpet’ and I’ve used my ProMarkers to colour him in.

The DP is a mixture of Papermania and Dovecraft which I’ve had for a couple of years now.

The sentiment I’ve used is from the Winter Blessings Stamp kit and I’ve also used the fancy shape from the Seasons Greeting stamp set. Then I used the Fancy Shape die cut which is also from Whiff of Joy to cut it out. I’ve then attached it to one of the new scrolls from Whiff of Joy that will be available from 1st November and for a bit of bling I’ve used some i-rock gems.

For the snowflakes I’ve used the new snowflake die cut from Whiff of Joy which will be available from 1st November and again I’ve used the i-rock gems for a bit of bling

I’ll be back again tomorrow with another preview from Whiff of Joy and thanks for stopping by.

Wags n Whiskers Challenge DT Card & New Rules

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Well today is Friday so that means we have a new challenge for you at Wags 'n Whiskers. This week's challenge is hosted by the very lovely and talented Angelique and she has chosen the theme ‘Black & White’.

We are so excited to announce that we have now opened up the challenges to ALL stamps!!
It is no longer a requirement to use a Wags 'n Whiskers image on your card. But there will be a separate prize if you DO use a WnW image!
Starting this week, one random participant will win a Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber stamp of their choice.
And any entry using a Wags 'n Whiskers image on their card will be entered into a drawing for a free WnW Digital stamp of your choice!!

Therefore, anyone who uses a Wags 'n Whiskers image will be entered into both prizes of a rubber stamp and a digital stamp!!
The only requirements are that you link directly to your challenge project - not to the main page of your blog. You must have a new project (no back linking). And you must link your card to the challenge post.

If you do not have a blog, you can still enter the challenges by uploading your cards to an open gallery such as Splitcoast Stampers.

For my card I’ve used the gorgeous Angelica and I’ve coloured her using my AquaMarker pens.

The DP is I think Dovecraft and I’ve distressed the edges using my scissors.

The flowers I made myself using my handsfree slice machine.

I hope that you get the chance to join us this week.
