Hello everyone! This week we are going to the beach with an adorable girl and her seagull friend – the set is called Beach Bundle Girl with a Seagull. I decided to put my Copics aside and felt like doing some pencil colouring, so I coloured my card in Derwent Chromaflow pencils. I picked a paper with a bit of texture, stamped my images in Versafine and added a sentiment from the Beach Vibes Sentiment set.
To colour the sea, I started by tracing some shapes that I filled with my lightest sea colour, leaving some white spaces and then went darker and darker. I added a bit of white gel pen at the end on some white spaces or to add more.

What a week! We are so thrilled that you love the new release as much as we do. Orders are winging their way to craft desks as I type. If you are waiting on yours, be assured the team are working hard! While you wait, the Babes have some more inspiration to share with you, so those ideas will be well and truly flowing by the time your stamps arrive.
This week we’re showing off the latest release which you can of course find in our WHAT’S NEW SECTION. So many wonderful new rubber stamps to choose from, and ongoing inspiration to go with them!
If you missed yesterday’s post here on the blog, be sure to check it out HERE to see the fun we’re having to celebrate the month of MerMay and join in for the chance to win some $$$ to spend in our store!
I am so in love with the new Buzzy Bee stamps in our Amy Glatiotis Collection. They are just so cute and fuzzy! Such a great size too. This card from Delphine shows our fuzzy wuzzy little bee off perfectly!
LOVE this card from Michele. Little Ally is enjoying the sunshine with her crazy towering ice cream! So cute.
Such gorgeous colours on this Whimsabella mermaid from Jenny, and of course she has incorporated a lovely shaker element too. LOVE!
Ginger has taken the adorable little seagull from one of our new Beach Bundle Girl stamp sets and created the most adorable set of notecards!
Steph has given one of our popular new Uptown Girls ALL of the sparkle on this fab card!
This is so sweet, our snoozy little butterfly baby taking a nap at the end of a rainbow.
That’s it for today! Hopefully you’re feeling inspired to go and create. Don’t forget to leave us a comment below with some love for our Babes and all their hard work.
MWAH!
