Snoozin' Sam

Howdy - MichelleO here today and this week for High Hopes Stamps I did a little coloring with Snoozin' Sam - its about how I felt myself! 

 

 

Such a fun image to color... I just love coloring kitties and stacked books! Weird? Probably but I do love it. I decided to go with pajamas on Sam. Coloring with my Copics (colors below) and then doing a little doodling around the image. I found some papers from Paper Studio and the zig zag sort of reminded me of snoozing. LOL The sentiment  It's Raining is just to fun with the image. All though now that childhood chant is ringing in my head. I like the calmer colors with Sam - I usually go a bit heavier on coloring these great image with so much in them, but went softer, maybe cuz he was sleeping?

I added three brads to the corner of the image and then decided to stop as that paper was already pretty busy.

Snoozin' Sam

Howdy - MichelleO here today for High Hopes Stamps I have "Snoozin' Sam" ... 

I think we all have done a bit of the Snoozin' that Sam is here lately... And I love that this guy is enjoying a good book and his cat close! All though our Cat is usually sleeping on our chest when napping!

Colored with Copics and shaded with pencils. Then found a very old piece of paper in my scraps, that just felt good with this sleeping man. I sewed all the layers together then used the High Hopes Stamps sentiment "Grandpas Are"worked out perfectly with this image.

                               Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! 

I don't know about anyone else but I do love a nap in the sun from time to time. I would like to introduce you to Snoozin' Sam from High Hopes Stamps. I think this card would be perfect for a birthday, retirement or Father's Day card. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and fussy cut him leaving a thin white line. His shirt is paper pieced and the glass in his glasses has Glossy Accents on them. The background was made by stamping around a cloud die with Ocean ink, cutting a picket fence die and a spring grass die. A polaroid die in the background breaks up the striped paper and some gumdrops in the corner finish it off.
