Hedgehog Bubbles

  The ultimate stress relief or if I had been on my feet all day was a nice hot bubble bath. I haven't done it in years but when I was in the restaurant industry or had spent a weekend at a trade show, there was nothing like coming home and sinking in to a hot bubble bath. My favourite kind was chocolate fudge sundae which sadly isn't made anymore - yup, they made a bubble bath that smelled like chocolate! When I saw the "Baby Hedgehog" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, it reminded me of the days when a hot bubble bath helped me find my smile again. 

After stamping and colouring with Copic markers, I cut the stamp out with a square xstitch die. Patterned paper from an old Pebbles pad were perfect for my design and 5.5" x 5.5" base. I stamped the sentiment, cut it out using a fishtail banner die and cut some matching card stock and patterned paper to add as well. Some sheer ribbon from my stash and enamel dots finish off my card.

Bath Time!

Hello!

February started a re-release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! Lora opened the vault and out came the "Sweet Baby" release. I'm so glad she did as the images are all just too cute! I'm playing with the "Baby Hedgehog" and "Precious Little One" sentiment. When my kids were little bath time was a favourite, and this stamp brings back so many wonderful memories!

To start, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured this Baby Hedgehog to match the papers from Doodlebug's "Bundle of Joy" 6x6 collection. Next using a Gina Marie "Pierced Big & Little Circle" die, I cut out the image, sentiment and designer paper. Now it was time to glue everything down and add the adorable ribbon across the bottom. I also added some polka dots to his washcloth with a white gel pen. Some enamel dots and glitter pen on the water and bubbles finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Hedgie: E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, R21
