Hang In There!

Hello!

Ok..... when I saw this image I thought it was perfect for my post this week as I'd like to think that is me, relaxing in the hammock. We are heading off on a nice trip for some warm and sunny weather, and the first hammock I see, I'm jumping in! Not to mention having one of those cocktails pictured in the Designer paper LOL. This is the adorable "Sweet Dreams" image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I paired it with the sentiment stamp "Hang In There".

To start, I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I coloured in my image and cut it out using a CDD Banner die. I am using papers from the Doodlebug Sweet Summer 6x6 collection. A touch of glitter pen, a bow and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

YG01, YG03, YG17, G28

RV04, RV06, RV09

E53, E55. E57

W1, W3, W5, Y17

Happy Stamping!

 

Sweet Dreams

  We have had a few warm sunny days lately and it has made me think about afternoon naps in the warm sun. 

I personally have not gotten along well with hammocks in the past. I am not co-ordinated enough apparently to be able to get my body in them and keep it there. My attempts often end up with me landing on my butt on the ground - it is a sight to see and worthy of a comedy show should someone catch it on video.

If I could keep myself in one, I am sure I would look like this adorable ant on the "Sweet Dreams" stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, snoozing and dreaming a little dream in the sun and hoping my dreams come true.

 After stamping and colouring this cutie with alcohol markers, I cut him out using a slash stitched round corner die. Since I didn't have a die one larger then the one I used, I traced the outside of the die and hand cut it for a card stock piece to back it with. I combined three different lines of paper to create my design, stamped and cut the sentiment to size and mounted it on matching card stock. A simple bow and some enamel dots finish off my card.
