Happy Birthday!!!

Welcome HH Fans;

Now that Christmas is over, it is time to get back to normal as much as possible, and to start making non-Christmas related cards.

As my birthday cards stash is rather low, for today's card I have created a birthday card using Norman Goat from High Hopes Stamps.  Rather fitting for the crotchety males in my family.

After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I use the Double Stitched Rectangle Die to cut it out.  I used  Antique Linen Distress Ink to add some colour to the white areas.  Some twine and enamel dots finished off this CAS card.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Norman Goat - R105 and Bold Happy Birthday - F087 both from High Hopes Stamps
• Ink:  Antique Linen Distress Ink
• Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP:  PhotoArchive - Scrapberry's

• E33 - Sand, E31 - Brick Beige, E30 - Bisque

Hello!

Baby Goats always get all the attention but I think the High Hopes Image "Norman Goat" deserves some love too LOL! I mean look at him.... cute or what!! I picture him being the Matriach of the family with all the little goats surrounding him as he tells the tales of his life!

I chose papers today from the Echo Park's "A Dog's Tale" 6x6 collection. After stamping and colouring "Norman" with my Copic Markers, I cut him out using the CDD Fancy Frame die set. I inked all the edges of my papers with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for added dimension.  Don't you just love the HH Sentiment "Humor Me". I think it suits Norman well! Some Burlap ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Goat: W4, W5, W6, W8, R20/ E43, E44

Top: BG72, BG75, BG78

Pants: R24, R29, R56/  Y35, Y38, Y26

Ground & Outline: W0, W3/ BG0000, BG000

Norman Goat

Howdy - MichelleO here today - and I think this is one of my all time favorite images for a fun "guy" card! This is High Hopes Stamps Norman Goat. 

 I just LOVE this goat! I colored with my Copics (colors below) and found papers from Paper Studios that I sewed down layers on to a dark brown card stock on a kraft card stock base. A die cut "happy birthday" and  the added sentiment Ya Old Goat on a EK Success punched ticket adds some added fun.

Did I say how much I love this stamp? LOL

Hope you got a giggle from this High Hopes Stamps birthday card - I am still giggling from making it!

Howdy - MichelleO here and I am still having so much fun coloring up my old favorites from High Hopes Stamps! I have so many you know... he he he

This is Norman Goat... love him!

Isn't he adorable??? I colored with my Copics (colors below) I love making Norman pop with lots of color.. background color. I colored heavily making Norman's white fur a bit brighter. I matched up Norman's clothing to pattern papers from Paper Studio's Beach House collection. I sewed the layers down and punched out an EK Success large double border. For my sentiment I used Ya Old Goat... giggle giggle... I punched out the sentiment is punched out with EK Success ticket punch.
