Tom's Plea

 Howdy - MichelleO here today and it's officially Fall and time to create those fun Fall cards! I love the warm colors in Fall! From High Hopes Stamps is a humorous little guy. This is Tom's Plea - Love his plea... LOL 

Sorry Tom ... I love Turkey too much on Thanksgiving. I colored with my Copics and shaded with pencils. I went with a bright and colorful Tom with pattern papers from BoBunny on black card stock. I cut Tom out with a circle nestie. A ribbon around the middle as a border. For a sentiment I let Tom do the talking with the High Hopes Stamps "Gobble Gobble Gobble" - but for some fun I stamped out the sentiment and then punched out each Gobble with a ticket punch that I colored the edges in black and added dots of Nuvo black on corners. I had a bow on that ribbon at first then thought Tom wasn't the bow type and wanted the Gobble Tickets to pop more, so I took it off.  Happy now. 

Copic colors used - 

Love all the choices at High Hopes Stamps. You will have no problem filling a cart with lots of images ! 

Thanks so much! 

GO VEGAN!

Hi everyone, and happy Sunday!

I have a set of 2 Thanksgiving/Autumn cards to share with you guys today.

I used "Tom's Plea" from Highhopesstamps.com 

I stamped both images in black ink onto Copic friendly paper, them colored with alcohol makers. For the background I couldn't resist using a combination of distress inks (scattered straw, wild honey and vintage photo) next I spritz some water drops and dried. While my image was drying I used some metal dies and glitter cardstock to assemble the cards. 

Image is colored with Copics;

C1 C3 C5
R27 R29 R39

Here is a close up!

To finish I added just a touch of detailing with an white jelly pen, orange candy dots and glossy accent. Thanks so much for stopping by. Wishing you all a great day.

Have a BLESS day!

Go Vegan!

Welcome High Hopes Rubber Stamps Fans!

It’s Wednesday, and this month at High Hopes Rubber Stamps we are celebrating Fall.  This week, I made a pop-up card using Tom's Plea (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) who is pleading with everyone to go Vegan! Unfortunately, for Tom, I will probably still have Turkey for Thanksgiving! For me, Tofu turkey is just not as good. I'm sure he will still be able to sway quite a few people though. Actually, for years, we had ravioli and meatballs for Thanksgiving, because I used to work in the food industry creating the weekly food flyers, by the time Thanksgiving day came , I didn't even want to hear the word "turkey". LOL!

Tom's Plea

Hello High Hopes Fans!!!

TGIF!!!  Well, the summer is just flying by and before too long fall will be here.  Along with fall comes Thanksgiving.  Here is a fun card just for that occasion...
 Jane

 

This is Tom's Plea (R201) and Happy Thanksgiving sentiment (G089).  This image makes me chuckle - poor Tom!  He does taste good at Thanksgiving dinner though...lol!

 

To start, I used a piece of watercolour paper and a Versamark Ink Pad to stamp the image and background (using my Misti Stamping Tool) then applied Black Embossing Powder on the ink and heated it.  To colour the main image, Tombow Markers and water were used.  After the colouring was finished and dry, Glossy Accents were added on Tom's beak.  Once this had dried, I proceeded to fussy cut the image. 

For the card base, I decided on a piece of SU Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the layering piece is SU Marine Mist cardstock.  The designer paper is from Doodlebug - Happy Harvest 6x6 Paper Pad.  Foam tape was applied to the main image to help make it pop out a bit and add some dimension to this card. A grass edger punch was used to create some grass for Tom to sit on.  The sentiment was stamped with versamark ink, and heat embossed with SU Tangerine Tango embossing powder.  Foam tape was also used to adhere the sentiment.  To complete this card, some paper flowers with pewter brads in the centres were added.   Hope this inspires you to start on some fall/Thanksgiving projects!
 

Supplies Used:

***Note: If you are in need of any products used here, please send Lora at OCS an email and I'm sure she would be happy to get the item(s) you are looking for.
