Between work, the holidays and then being sick, I haven't stamped in forever. I was up early this morning and decided to do the inspiration challenge today. Close 2 my Art is a fun site. I will confess to not always being comfortable with whimsy, though I love the fun of it. But when whimsy is needed I reach for my Paula Best stamps. I was not so much inspired by a singe item at this fun site, but rather by the style of the art. So many bright colors and quirky texture and add ons. I tried to capture that with this piece. Enjoy!
Image was embossed with red embossing powder and colored with retired SU Bold Bright markers. I colored in the polka dots on my red background paper.

Wonderful. I feel the same about whimsy but you did a wonderful job with it. Very fun card.

Great stamp for this challenge..love it in the bright colors! I like how you did the flowers and vine in the middle..it goes great with the large heart!
This is such a fun card. I love the heart stamp. Not sure if that's one stamp or if it's two different layers. I feel the same way about whimsy but you rocked the challenge!
