Leapin' Larry - Hoppy Birthday

Howdy - MichelleO here today and this week for High Hopes Stamps I pulled out an older favorite for a great fun Birthday card - This is Leapin' Larry... isn't he an energetic little guy?

Wish I had that jump in me! I colored with my Copics (colors below) Then I cut Larry out with a Whimsy Stitched Oval Die. Then for the sentiment the perfect for Larry "Open Hoppy Birthday" that I colored with the same copics. Green card stock for the base and then two pieces of pattern paper from Making Memories.

For a little added fun I cut out Larry's arm from the paper and popped it up above the sentiment, like he is sort of waving. Hi Larry!

Copic colors used -

Have you ever surfed through the High Hopes Stamps store? Oh my there are SO Many stamps to choose from. I bet you find one or a hundred you can't live without. I was trying to think back to my first High Hopes Stamps order... way over a decade ago.... fell in love and haven't stopped coloring since!

Go take a look at the web site HERE and have some fun!

Thank you

Leapin' Larry - Bifold Card

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

 

Happy Friday!  For today's post, I was going for a fun, yet universal card that could be used as a birthday card, get well card, or possibly a thinking of you card...
 Jane 

 

This is Leapin' Larry (R145).  Such a fun and adorable image...

I started by colouring the image with Tombow Markers and water. After the image was all coloured and dry, I applied some Wink of Stella - Glitter Yellow brush marker to the centre of the flower and some Wink of Stella - clear glitter on Larry's spots on his body.  It's a bit difficult to see this in the picture though.

The main image was fussy cut out.  MFT dies called Stitched Ovals were used to cut the various layers of ovals using SU Pretty in Pink and Wild Wasabi Cardstock.  The designer paper is from Echo Park-Bundle of Joy 6x6 paper pad.  Foam tape was used under the oval (only on the left half of the oval), to add some dimension to the main image. I decided to leave off the sentiment for now, as I couldn't decide on what to put on.  This maybe a convenient card to have on hand for those last minute ones that are needed.  To complete this card, SU wild wasabi stitched ribbon was taped down on an angle at each corner, along with a light green flower gemstone.
