Dino-Mite Dino!

Howdy - MichelleO here ... The moment I saw this adorable stamp from High Hopes Stamps I had a flash back to the excitement of those cute little valentines that we gave out in elementary school. With the semi corny sentiments...

This is Dino-Mite Dino! "You're DINO-mite..." 

 The sentiment is part of the image... isn't that a nice bonus? I colored with my Copics and then highlighted with my pencils. I went with a more CAS (clean and simple) with this sweet little guy... just added a trail of hearts - cuz a dinosaur with a large heart has to leave some love everywhere he goes right?

Then sewed down to a scrap of pattern paper on a white card stock base.
Still grinning about this little guy...

Copic colors used -

Now I know there is someone you would love to send this little guy too... And there are many more to choose from for your Valentine cards! Click HERE to see them all!

Have a great day!

Love You

                                 Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! 

It's the first week of January but my mind is out of Christmas card making mode into Valentine's Day cards. I don't normally make this type of card but High Hopes has some great stamps for this occasion so I just had to ink them up! 

"Dino-Mite Dino" just makes me giggle! He could be used for so many card types....graduation, congratulations, birthday.....the list goes on! but I chose Valentine's Day for this guy. 

After colouring Dino with alcohol markers I cut him out with circle die and cut a matching cardstock piece to put behind him. 

I wanted to keep the layout of this card on the more simple side (for me anyway) to keep the focus on our friend Dino. 

Now, I have a confession ... I didn't have a happy Valentine's day sentiment stamp that fit my design so I used "part" of another High Hopes sentiment for my card. 

Some red rhinestones finish it off.
