Warm Friendship

I love adding stamps to my collection that make me smile and "Turtle Friends" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps does just that. I smile because it brings back a special memory for me. We were having hubby's family and our son and his girlfriend over for dinner.

When our son and his girlfriend came he walked in to the house with a grin and his hand behind his back. He said hi and then presented me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.....just because.........sweet right?! And to make the day even sweeter, my hubby had brought me flowers earlier in the day too! Yup, I was one spoiled lady that night.

I stamped my image on alcohol marker friendly paper I coloured it with Copic markers and cut it out with a square xstitch die. Next I cut patterned paper from the the Coffee and Friends pad by Echo Park to fit my 5.5" x 5.5" card base. I added each piece of patterned paper to matching card stock and glued everything down. Then I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with a fish tail banner die and mounted it on to card stock. A stitched ribbon bow and enamel dots finish off my card.

Love You More!

Happy Tuesday!

I'm in love with this stamp called "Turtle Friends"! These cuties are from the "Spring Fever" re-release over at High Hopes Stamps. They are so versatile! I made a "love" card but you could use this for an anniversary, birthday, Valentine's Day......... the possibilities are endless!

I stamped the "Turtle Friends" onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers to match with papers from the Doodle Bug "Hello Sunshine" 6x6 collection. Then using a Gina Marie Arched Stitched Tag, I cut the image out. This tag is actually longer but using the die I cropped off part of the length. I popped both the image and "Love You" sentiment up with foam squares for dimension. All the pink flowers have some glitter pen added to them although it's hard to see in the picture. Some burlap ribbon, a triple twine bow, flower and enamel dots finish off my card.
