Whistle While You Work

First let me welcome my latest subscriber, Sandma's Handmade Cards, who marks my 50th blogger subscription! It feels incredible to see my blog grow, slowly but surely... So I'll take this opportunity to thank ALL my subscribers, Blogger, email, RSS or other ways that I'm not even aware of for taking an interest and the time to visit and leave sweet comments!

Recently, I was lucky to win some Paperbabe Stamps goodies and they needed to be inked up!

The cute animals and funky mushrooms of the Whimsical Woodland set 3 reminded me of the Whistle While You Work song from the Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, when rabbits, squirrels, and birds are doing the housework with Snow White. [I would include a link to a YouTube video but for the thorny issue of copyright; still, most of you will know this iconic piece of animation].

Regular readers will know I love creating scenes with my stamps and so the small sets in the Whimsical Woodland collection are well designed for the purpose, with elements that can be inked separately and combined in any way you wish. Paperbabe also makes matching wooden (MDF) shapes for the Whimsical critters and I'm mulling over the possibilities.

I used my new Kaleidocolor stamp pad for all the coloured stamps and black Memento for the sentiment, the rabbit eyes, paws and mouse features.

I die cut my ivory base with a Stitched square die (Crafts Too PCD89), partially cutting to obtain a rectangle instead of a square.

I felt the card needed something in the top corner so I added the Hedgehog.

I seem to be in a non-Vintage crafting period, which is so unlike me... I blame it on the weather!


I am also entering the Casology and Unikostudio challenges.
