Whimsy Stamps and Chameleon pencils!

I've been playing around with the new Chameleon Color Tones pencils for an upcoming review, and I was so happy to have more adorable Whimsy Stamps images to work with - if you haven't visited their site, be sure to take a peek! They have such a fun variety of stamps, just begging to be colored!

After months of waiting for April's baby to be born, this Baby Giraffe was an easy pick - isn't he adorable?

The sentiment above is from the set below - I have really enjoyed having a yard and garden at this house, so Penguin Gardener had to come and stay with me. :)

I love how these pencils performed on kraft paper, and I used a new-to-me toy that I bought for an upcoming colored pencil class with a local artist - it's a battery-powered eraser from Derwent, and it helped create the shadows in the white areas, and some of the highlights on the giraffe. Little bit of a learning curve, but so fun! Inexpensive too.

Check out the Whimsy site for all kinds of Customer Appreciation specials during the month of May! Have a great week!
