Whimsy Design Team call!

Well the Whimsy DT is looking for a new full time designer to focus on their Whimsy Animals Collection team. Let me tell you when I saw their stamps I knew I had to try because they are so cute and different! Click here to check out the adorable stamps they have available.

Take a look at the DT call here if you are interested, it actually ends today (3/1/09) so you will have to hurry up to get in on time!

Here is what I came up with as the card had to have an animal image and what better way to make use of my new Penny Black Hedgehog. I just love this image and it made for such an adorable card.

I started with Basic Grey paper since I LOVE their paper and worked the coloring of my image around that (which is why I made the ladybug pink instead of red). I stamped the image several times, colored with my copics and then layerd for a 3D effect. I also used my SU! pastel chalks to add some shading to the daisy. Crystal effects was used on the ladybug to make her shine.

I came across the cutest accordian paper flower and had to learn to make one myself. I found a tutorial here if you want to try it. I used a much smaller piece of paper than used in the tutorial so get a smaller flower but they are so easy and pretty! I added several skittles/dew drops to the center of the flower to dress it up a little.

I hope you like it, I think this is one of my favorites I have created so far!
