Chillin' Charlie

 Happy Wednesday HH fans!

Today I'm sharing our sweet image called Chillin' Charlie.  I broke away from my Copics for a bit & coloured up a few images with my Prisma Premier pencils.  Will share some of the others with you soon.

When I travelled to the Yukon last month I just didn't feel like lugging my Copics with me so hence the pencils.  It has been a long time since I used pencils....so....please be gentle with me.

I picked some not so traditional colours for this cutie.  Also I didn't have my Indigo Blue pencil so I had to do a little improvising.  Indigo Blue has always been a go to for me so the struggle was real lol.

I was at a crafty garage sale with a friend of mine before I went away & I was lucky enough to pick up some great dies.  This one is a Memory Box die, don't know the name of it though.  I die cut it out of the navy cardstock for some contrast over the lighter patterned paper.

I paired Charlie with our Sparkle sentiment & added a few sparkly enamel dots to finish it off.  Oh and maybe just a little Stickles for some extra sparkle.

Snowman Sparkle

 Merry Christmas to my followers and High Hopes fans! 

Christmas is just a few days away and like usual I am still working on a few last minute Christmas cards and like these cuties in the "Snowman Stocking" ...putting up a few decorations. 

This stamp is so fun! and the snowmen using their "arms" to hold up the lights just makes me giggle! 

Meet "Snowman Stocking"(TDG010) from the Woodland Winter release at High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I have paired it with the "Sparkle" (FDG011) sentiment and although it is hard to see - added some sparkle to the lights and stars on the "stocking".

                                                      

I stamped this fun stamp and coloured it with Copic markers and hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge so it stood out against the dark paper behind it. I added some Spectrum Clear sparkle pen to the lights and stars on the "stocking". I set them aside and after finding some paper from the Jingle All The Way pad from Echo Park I cut the pieces and card stock to fit my card base. 

The finished size of this card is 4.5"w x 5.5"h - not too big and not too small, love this size! I went in to my stash and found some white glitter paper and used it to cut out a Twinkle Scribble die to add behind my image. 

Next, I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using a fish tail banner die and added it behind the stamp. While I had the fish tail dies out, I cut a small piece of patterned paper to put in the top left corner. Some enamel dots finish off my card.
