Take time to send a hug & FREEBIE!

 Happy Saturday HH fans!

I wanted to finish the week off with some hugs & kisses.  I LOVE the ocean.  Well let me rephrase that a bit....I LOVE to look at the ocean and listen to it....I don't like to go in it.  I'm terrified of something touching my feet...sad I know but it's the truth.  I get so much peace just watching it.  I wished I lived closer to it, but sadly I don't.  We do have some beautiful lakes here in Ontario and those surely bring me joy as well, they just aren't the ocean.

For my last card this week I chose Mer-Cat.  This is one of our older images but I think she is just super cute.  Her little wave helped me pick the sentiment.   I used Get Well Wishes Script but I didn't use the entire sentiment, I just used the top half.  

This is my first time colouring a mermaid so go easy on me.  I need a little more practice for sure.

Greetings from Mer-cat!

Greetings High Hope friends - Lindsay here! Today, I'm sharing the most adorable cat ever - Mer-cat! She's part mermaid, part cat, and a whole lot of cuteness!

I think my favorite stamps are definitely kitty stamps - and I almost always color the kitties like my own orange tabby. I used my Prismacolor colored pencils to color her in, and for the background I created a super simple beach scene - sky, ocean, and beach. This way Mer-cat stays the center of attention!

To keep the card clean and simple, I stamped this adorable sentiment on kraft paper and wrapped some thin metallic gold thread around it. I love adding metallic thread to cards where I want a little bit of embellishment, but not too much. Then I popped the entire piece up off the card with some foam mounting squares. I think this is the perfect card to welcome in summer (which will be here before we know it!)

Thanks so much for stopping by the High Hopes blog! Be sure to check out more card inspiration in the High Hopes Facebook group - where we share ideas, tips, and tricks that encourage each other to be creative!  Have a great day my friends!
