Be My Valentine

Welcome Everyone;

Another week has been and gone and over here at the High Hopes Stamps this month we are celebrating everything Love.

For today's card, which is a CAS,  I have used the adorable Heartstrings Monkey from High Hopes Stamps, and he has his string of Love for his special someone to see.

After stamping the image on XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured it with Copic Markers.  I then cut it out using the Spellbinders Square Die and then mounted it on the Squares Hearts that I rotated.

I cut the sentiment up so that it could be placed in different places.  The hearts are the leftovers from the Hearts Square Die.

 

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Heartstrings Monkey (M147), Sm Fancy Be My Valentine (F001) -- High Hopes Stamps
• Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP - Watercolour Wishes & Speckles (both from Lawn Fawn)
• Copic Markers;
• E37 Sepia, E35 -Chamois, E34 - Toast
• E50 - Egg Shell, E51 - Milky White
• R21 - Sardonyx, R20 - Blush
• Spellbinders Dies:  Square Hearts; Squares
• Wink of Stella - Clear
• YNS Gumdrops

Monkey Love

Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away ... already! Where has January gone?! 
My post today features the oh so cute "Heartstrings Monkey" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.
How fun is this cutie with his heart love banner!?! 

After colouring up this cutie with alcohol markers I cut him out with a circle die. I used a dark brown Prismacolor pencil to add some shading and my Fiskars circle cutter to cut a card stock circle to go behind him. I chose patterned paper from Reverse Confetti and laid out my card base. 
This card is done for the Bazzill Basics Paper sketch challenge so the design is based on the challenge sketch. 

I added a fun heartstring banner, gingham ribbon and gumdrops to finish off my card. There is also clear Spectrum sparkle pen added to the monkey's hearts and all of the paper is edged with antique linen distress ink.
