It’s this time of the month again! Time for a sneak peek of Whimsy Stamps new Rubber Release. To find all participants of this sneak peek hop, check the Whimsy Inspiration blog. Tomorrow 18 new stamps and two new dies will be released.
Included in that new release are two darling gnome images, one of them this Grumpy fellow. I had to color him right away. I stamped the image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. The image was colored with Copic Markers (Skin: E50, E51, E53 Nose: E01, E02, E04 Shirt: G82, G84, G94 Jeans: B91, B93, B95, B97 cap: Y17, YR15, YR14, E97, E99 Grass: YG01, YG03, YG17 ).
The image was cut and embossed with the largest Petite Oval Nestabilities die. I added a few cloud masks cut with the Cloud Die-namics die and adhered them over the image. With the die still on the oval, the background was airbrushed with Copic Marker B02. The layer was adhered to a piece of Black cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Scallop Petite Oval Nestabilities die and the edge of the image layer was paper pierced.
The card base was cut and embossed out of white cardstock with one of the Grand Label 11 Nestabilities dies. Echo Park Playground paper was cut and embossed with the next smaller Label die. The paper was stitched to a piece of white cardstock and hand cut around it.
May Arts Brown Gingham Ribbon was tied around the orange Playground strip before the layers were adhered to the card base. The image was adhered to the card base with dimensionals.
The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Twisted Foursome. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a tag cut out of White cardstock. I needed a snarky sentiment for this grumpy fellow and I thought this was perfect for it.
While I was playing with Grumpy, I had friends over that colored him as well. Here is a card my friend Jacki created. I love the background she added. She colored him with Copic Markers ( Skin: E000, E01, E02 Nose: R02, R05 Pants: B06, B14 Shirt: R43, R36 Patch: BG15 Hat: YG01, YG03, YG17,Y13, Y15, Y17 Shoes: E21, E23, E27). She then masked the little gnome and airbrushed the background with Copic Markers E27 (wall) and G28 (ground). She created the wall and graffiti with her Blender Pen.
Can you believe she is still a newbie with the markers? I think she did an amazing job.
Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles

Beate is an awesome teacher and I am so very fortunate to have learned my coloring from a pro! I am inspired by absolutely everything she creates…but mostly I cherish the dear friendship she shares!
