My Favorite

 How adorable are these two!?! My son's fiance loves sloths so when I saw the Sloth Love stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps I knew I had to make a card for her with them. My son may even want this card to give her........but if he doesn't, I will put some birthday wishes inside for her. 

After stamping on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the stamp. I went around the edges with a black marker to get any white I may have missed. An old paper pad from Bo Bunny was perfect for my card design so I cut everything to fit my A2 card base. I used some watercolor paper for the circle background behind them.

All the paper edges were inked with Tea Dye Distress ink before I glued down the layers. The sentiment is one long sentiment but I cut it after stamping it and put it on matching card stock. A cute ribbon bow, some flowers with diamond painting drills in the centre and some enamel dots finish off my card.

Happy Friday HH Fans!

Today I'm opening the Retirement Vault to re-release an image I miss so much.  This cutie is called Love Birds & is designed by Dina Gerner.  It's perfect for an anniversary, wedding or just to say I love you.  For my card today I have paired Love Birds with our sentiment called My Favorite.

Have you every thought about why you make cards?  In today's fast-paced world, where digital communication dominates, there's something truly special about receiving a handmade card.  Each card is crafted with love and care, these tangible tokens carry not just a message, but a piece of my heart.  That's why I do what I do.  Leave me a comment & let me know why you make cards.

For this card I decided to dust off my Distress Inks, I haven't used them in such a long time.  I created the background on the card base with my ink blending tool using Mustard Seed & Broken China.  I love how blending the yellow & blue created a almost perfect match to the green in the leaves.
