Note From A Hedgy

 I love having cards on hand to send as a pick me up or just to say hi to someone in my life who needs a smile or to know I am thinking of them. I can't help but smile along with "Hedgy In Tulip" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps as he greets his butterfly friend and I hope this brings a smile to the recipient as well.

I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp leaving a very thin white edge. Those who follow me know I use manicure scissors for fussy cutting but this week I took a new pair of scissors for a spin......I like them but I will have to get used to them. 

Next I cut a piece of white card stock and blended some Perfect Plum ink in an oval shape in the background. 

Next I put the card stock in my Misti and stamped the sentiment and rounded the corners on the right side. I set that aside and cut coloured card stock to fit my A2 size base and cut a notebook edge on the side and on the white card stock piece and rounded the two right corners. I didn't like how the two looked when they laid on top of each other so I put the cut off piece from the die back in to the coloured card stock piece and glued everything down. 

I glued the stamp into the middle of the ink blend and added a few clear dots to finish off the card.

Hedgy in Tulip

Howdy - MichelleO here today -

Spring is coming! And this month for High Hopes Stamps there is a release all about it! "Thoughts of Spring with Friends" a group of our favorites out of retirement and release just in time to color up for the season! 

For my card this week I chose to color up a real cutie - Hedgy in Tulip 

So ready for all the colors and flowers aren't you? My image is colored with my Copics (colors below) and then I found some pattern papers that fit the theme. First Edition "Spring Fest" Love the soft pastel colors. I cut out the image with an oval die cut and matted with one of the pattern papers, found two more patterns that are sewn together with a fun zig zag stitch. For a band I used a Martha Stewart doily punch on both sides of a white card stock to create a faux piece of lace around the middle. 

All put together and then added the High Hopes Stamps sentiment "Spring is in the Air" Love the font on this one! I punched it with a ticket punch and made a faux mat with a copic marker around the edge. 

Needed more... so out came my Nuvo bright white and little dots around the oval mat, and in the corners. A little fun and a pop of bright white.
