Whimsy SU Set

Garden Whimsy and the Whimsy jumbo wheel are one of my favorite stamp sets from Stampin Up. They are still in the new Spring/Summer catalog.

I think they are very appropriately named, as the whole look of them is just light, airy, and super whimsical. I've made a number of cards using them and will say that looking a them just makes me 'happy'.

This is one of the first cards I made with the set. This one was in a card class with Crafting Ida. She had us stamp the butterfly in the top first, then stamp off the one on the bottom without re-inking. It gave it a bit of a watermark effect. Of course, there is a little snail on the inside bottom right corner. Cute touch.

Isn't this a happy picture?

I used the Whimsy jumbo wheel on this one pulling both colors of burgundy on the top to match the butterfly and blue on the bottom to bring out paper color. Then I added a little texture with a Cuttlebug embossed flower from a small folder.

I love the repetition of circles in the wheel, butterfly, and center of the flower. It all seems to work together to give that lighthearted feeling.
I love the words 'Best friends listen to what you don't say.'
