Snow Buddies!

Hello Friends!
I'm sharing my last card today from the "Winter Friends" re-release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This cutie is called "Snow Buddies". I'm going to send this to my friend to brighten these winter days! What a fun month it's been seeing what the Design Team created using all the new images!

To start, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers. Then using a Gina Marie "Loopy Square" die I cut the image out. I'm using papers from the Photoplay "Luke 2" 6x6 collection. I added some polka dots to the Hedgies scarf and ear muffs for a fun look. I love this sentiment called "Friendship". It can be used for so many different card themes! A bit of glitter pen on the snow elements and Crystal Stickles finish off my card.
Copics Used:
Hedgie & Owl: E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59
Stump: E43, E44, E47
Greys: T3, T4, T5
Reds: R20/ R37, R56, R59
Snow: B0000, B000

Have A Beautiful Day!

Hi!
Today I am using the "Fish Kiss" image from the Re-Release called "Winter Friends" over at High Hope Rubber Stamps!  I like to think this cute polar bear is kissing his fish friend, not trying to eat it LOL. 
I decided to make a winter scene for these "Fish Friends" to sit on. Papers from the Craft Consortium's "Polar Playtime" 6x6 pad worked perfectly! I added the snow paper and then fussy cut out the South Pole scene and added it to the snowflake paper. Next I used some MFT Stitched Snowdrifts to create the "hill". I added some little trees from a die I had. All the papers have their edges inked with Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass. After colouring my image with my Copic markers, I fussy cut it using my Brother Cut N Scan, and popped both the image and sentiment up with foam squares. I added some fish scales with a white gel pen for fun.
I decided not to glue down the trees as it adds a bit of dimension to the snowy hills. I paired my image with the "Beautiful Day" sentiment. 
Copics Used:
C00, C0. C1, C2. C3, C4, C5, C6, C8, C9
R02, R01
G28, YG17, YG03, YG01
B0000, B000, B00, B01

Foxy Friends!

Happy Tuesday!
Oh my gosh...... Here's another adorable image from the "Winter Friends" Release over at High Hopes Stamps. These cuties are called "Foxy Friends". I paired my image with the High Hopes "Good Times" sentiment.
I decided to use papers today from the LDRS "Arctic Snowfall" 6x6 collection. Since the foxes in the paper were silver/white, I decided to try to colour them to match. I'm still working on my""fur" texture skills but I think it turned out ok. A simple design today with all the edges of the papers inked in Shaded Lilac Distress Ink. Some matching purple enamel dots finish off my card.
I popped the image and sentiment up with foam tape for added dimension.
Copics Used:
W00, W0, W1, W2, W3,W4
R00, R01, R02
Prisma: White PC938, French Grey PC1072

You Got This!

Howdy Partners!
Over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps were celebrating the New Year with a release!!!! This cutie is from the "Winter Friends" new release and is called "Lasso Some Snow". This release has 13 new images and 13 sentiments! I love this cutie and thought I'd show you, you don't have to use winter themed papers to make a fun card!
To begin, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento ink. Then I coloured it to match the papers from the Doodlebug "Down On The Farm" & "Buffalo Checked Woodgrain" 6x6 collections. I layered the papers with cardstock on my 5.5" square card and added a Spellbinder Lacey Circle die. A few enamel dots and some glitter pen on the snow finishes off my card.
I used the "Don't Worry" sentiment from High Hopes on my card today. Here you can also see how the image is popped up with foam squares for added dimension.
