Kind Of Sickly!

Hello!
There is nothing worse than being under the weather and feeling like crap! But if I got this card in the mail, it sure would cheer me up! This is the adorable "Seymore's Sick Day" and "Better Quickly" sentiment from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.
Today I am using papers from an older collection from Echo Park Called "For The Record 2". I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next, I coloured in my image to match the designer papers and cut it out using my Brother Cut N Scan. It's a simple design using different rectangle sizes layered with matching cardstock. Seymore is popped up with foam squares. A scattering of enamel dots finish off my card design.
Copics Used:
G20, G21, G24, G46
W1, W3, W5
B93, B95, B97
Y23, Y26
C1, R24

Hogs-N-Kisses!

Howdy!
Todays mini slimline card combines 2 stamps from High Hope Rubber Stamps. I've used the "Soo-eet Petunia and Audrey" and the "Farm Background". I thought that they went nicely together! Oh my gosh, Petunia's smile....too cute!
To start, I stamped my images onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I coloured in my images and cut them out using my Brother Cut N Scan. I decided to colour the field behind the barn as if there is wheat growing in it. I used a MFT "Slimline Cloud Edges" stencil to add some clouds in the background. The "Hogs-N-Kisses" sentiment goes well with the theme of my card. Some MFT Stitched Hills and a little fence just brings it all together. My Main image and the bottom hill are popped up with foam squares for some added dimension to my card.
Copics Used:
E00, E11, E21/ E41, E43, E44, E47
R00, R01, R02/ R35, R37, R39/ R20

Hang In There!

Hello!
Ok..... when I saw this image I thought it was perfect for my post this week as I'd like to think that is me, relaxing in the hammock. We are heading off on a nice trip for some warm and sunny weather, and the first hammock I see, I'm jumping in! Not to mention having one of those cocktails pictured in the Designer paper LOL. This is the adorable "Sweet Dreams" image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I paired it with the sentiment stamp "Hang In There".
To start, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I coloured in my image and cut it out using a CDD Banner die. I am using papers from the Doodlebug Sweet Summer 6x6 collection. A touch of glitter pen, a bow and enamel dots finish off my card.
Copics Used:
YG01, YG03, YG17, G28
RV04, RV06, RV09
E53, E55. E57

Thanks!

Happy Tuesday!
I needed some "Thank You" cards to send out for the lovely gifts I received at Christmas. I thought this cutie called "Buzzin' By Bear" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps was the perfect image to use. It's a cheery card and with the dull weather we've had, it's sure to bring a smile! I've paired it with 2 different sentiment stamps called "Thanks" and "Flutter'in By".
To start, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I coloured in my image and cut it out using my Brother Cut N Scan. I took a piece of water-colour paper and using a MFT "Slimline Cloud Edges" and "Drifts and Hills" stencil made my background. I used Distress Oxide ink in Robin's Egg and Cracked Pistachio. Then I decided to add a little fence and some flowers from dies I had in my stash. I popped up the Bear image with foam squares for added dimension. The "Fluttering' By" sentiment actually says "Fluttering' By To Say Hi". I masked off the Hi so I could add the Thanks sentiment and cut them both out using a Banner Tag die.
Copics used:
E31, E33, E35, E37
R02, R22
Y13, Y17, Y18
C6, C7, C9
YG03, YG17
BG0000, BG000, BG01

Time To Tidy Up!

Happy Thursday!
Yup..... this is me this week LOL. We spent Christmas up at our Cottage and have been away for 2 weeks. Now I'm back home and it's time to take down all the Christmas decorations and give the house a good tidy up! I love Christmas but dread putting my house back to normal, anybody with me? Meet the adorable "Tidy Up Tillie" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps
I stamped Tillie onto some Copic friendly paper and stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured Tillie in to match papers from the MFT "Tranquil Textures" 6x6 collection. Using dies from CDD Fancy Frames and Kat's Scrappiness Stitched Scallop Nesting Tags, I cut out the designer paper. I popped my image up with foam squares for some dimension. A cute little bow and enamel dots finish off my card.
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E21, E11, R20
Hair & Broom: Y23, Y26, y28
Outfit: BV00, BV01, BV02, BV04/ G28, YG23, YG03, YG01
