Good Friends!

 Hi!

I'm popping in today to share the "Beary Good Friends" image from High Hopes Stamps! Aren't these two just the most adorable friends?!

I started my card by stamping the image with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured it in with my Copic Sketch Markers. I added the High Hopes sentiment called "Good Friends" underneath my image and then cut the image out using a Stitched Scallop Nesting Tag die from Kat's Scrappiness. I decided to use papers from the Echo Park "My Favourite Winter" 6x6 collection. I popped up the circle and my image with foam squares for added dimension. I also added a bit of bling with some Crystal Stickles on the hats. I love the little pom poms on the ends of their hats.... just too cute!

Copics used:

Bear: E43, E44, E47, E49, R01, R02

Penguin: C0, C1, C7, C8, YR04, YR09

Hats and scarves: R39, R59, R89/ B01, B02

Group Hug

I admit it - I love giving hugs and I am missing my peeps! I'm sure many of you feel the same way with this social distancing and isolation we have going on. 
The "Group Hug Bears" stamp is a perfect way for me to send a hug in a card to my peeps until I can physically give all of the big squishy hugs that are building up in my system.

I stepped out of my comfort zone for this one and designed an A2 size card. I wanted this card to be "soft" and feel like a hug in a card. 
After colouring up this adorable stamp with alcohol markers, I cut it out using a rectangle die. Next I placed a curvy scallop edge die along the bottom on a bit of an angle and ran it through my Big Kick. I took the remaining cut off piece and decided to stamp my sentiment on it for something different. Some heart paper from MFT was perfect for my hug card and some ribbon and enamel dots finish it off.
