New Home Wishes

 I have a few people in my life who are moving in the near future. These moves will be a fresh or new start for all of them and when I saw the "Spring Birdhouse Garden" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps I thought it would be perfect for a new home card for one of them. I had the white picket fence saying come to mind when I saw it so I decided to colour it up that way. I am wishing all of them the best in their moves and the new memories they will make.

I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on alcohol marker friendly paper and coloured with Copic markers. Next, I cut the stamp out using a rectangle die. I decided to do a clean and simple style A2 size card and found some wood grain paper to match the greys in my colouring. I cut card stock to fit the card base and to mount the stamp onto and glues everything down. Then using my Misti, I stamped the sentiment and put it on card stock. Some ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card.

Spring Birdhouse Garden

 Howdy - MichelleO here today and despite the heat that has settled in there are still lots of beautiful flowers to see... and when pulling out to color that was what I was feeling... flowers! High Hopes Stamps "Spring Birdhouse Garden" is perfect for a little afternoon coloring! 

This is such a pretty image, that I colored with lots of Copics. (colors below) Now because this is a larger image there isn't a lot of embellishing room. So I found a piece of simple gingham wood pattern paper for a background. I then used a Spellbinders lace border die in white to add to the background. My image is then set on and sewn on with a zig zag stitch. For a sentiment I used High Hopes Stamps "Smell the Flowers"  I think all the wildlife here was doing just that! Then three white enamel dots to finish off. Simple but pretty! 

Copic colors used

Fun afternoon coloring with a pretty image! To see LOTS and LOTS of pretty images perfect for any project pop on over to the High Hopes Stamps web store HERE - I KNOW you will find lots you fall in love with.
