Hope!

Happy Tuesday!

I'm popping in with a pretty card today using the High Hopes stamp called "Flowers Grow". I love this stamp and the sentiment is part of the image. The saying just touches me!

Today's papers are from the Paper Rose "Dear Emma" 6x6 collection. I love using 6x6 paper pads as the Designs are scaled smaller, perfect for card making! Next I stamped the image onto Copic Friendly paper and using my Copic Sketch markers, coloured the image to match  my chosen papers. I cut the image out with a circle die and then backed it onto a Spellbinder's Lacey Circle die. All the papers have their edges inked with Distress Ink in Dusty Concord. A few sparkly enamel dots finish off my card. 

Copics Used:

Flowers: BV02, BV04, BV08

Greenery: YG61, YG63, YG67, YG93

Background: BV0000, BV000, BV01

Springtime Joy!

Hello!

I honestly can't wait to see the flowers start growing in my garden! Maybe I'll even get to see a fairy like this cutie! Meet "Fairy On A Leaf" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Isn't she just adorable?!! I love the little lady bug getting in the picture! "Springtime Joy" was the perfect sentiment to match this card theme.

To start my card design, I stamped "Fairy On A Leaf" onto Copic friendly paper and coloured her in with my Copic Sketch markers. I chose papers from the Carta Bella "Flora no. 2" 6x6 collection. Next using a frame die, I cut the image out and a larger size to put in behind her. I cut the sentiment in half and popped it up with some foam tape for added dimension. Some ribbon and a flower brad finish off the card design.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20

Wings: BG000, BG01

Hair: E23, E25, E27

Garden Beetle!

Hello!

It's Spring over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps and the Design Team are using Spring themed stamps. I decided to use the "Garden Beetle" and the "Spring Has Sprung" sentiment. I've seen some really cute garden tools and thought this cutie should have some too! I just can't wait to get out in the garden and get my hands dirty.

I decided to use papers from the Carta Bella "Spring Market" 6x6 collection. After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper with Memento ink, I coloured the image in with my Copic Sketch markers. Next using a Spell Binders "Labels 22" die, I cut it out. Using Distress Oxide ink in "Gathered Twigs", I inked all the paper edges. "Garden Beetle" is popped up with foam tape for added dimension. Some enamel dots and glitter pen on the garden tools finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Beetle: T0, T1, T3, T5, T6, T7, T8

Outfit & Hat: R20, R21, R22/Y21, Y23, Y26

Boots: YG61, YG63, YG67/Y21, Y23, Y26

Happy Easter!

 Happy Tuesday!

The theme this month over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps is "Spring"! Nothing says spring more than Easter! Love when the kids run around the yard looking for hidden eggs! I thought I would wish you all a Happy Easter with this adorable image called "Hare's My Heart".

To start, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I coloured this cutie in with my Copic Sketch Markers. I am using papers today from the Doodlebug "Hoppy Easter" 6x6 collection. Using a Gina Marie "Big and Little Pierced Chain Circle" die, I cut out my image. Using a "Scalloped Border" die from PPP, I added some interest to the edge of one of the Designer Papers. I popped up the circle die with foam tape for added dimension. Love this sentiment from HH Called "Egg-Stra Special"! A few enamel dots, twine and Crystal Stickles finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Bunny: T0, T1, T3 R01, R02

Lady Bug: R83, R85, T08

Heart: BG53, BG57

Ground & Outline: W1, W3/ BG0000, BG000
