A Little Rain Must Fall...

Welcome HH fans;

Another week has gone by and there is no doubt that there has been a little or a lot or rain falling in my little world of late.  Last week it was the garage door that needed repairing as the cable snapped, and this week it is a plumbing issue.  What's next -- don't know that I want to know.

While anyway for today's card I have used the adorable Mary Angel from High Hopes Stamps.  Splashing in the puddles is such fun at times.  I  remember the children doing this when they were younger.  I used the Echo Park Raindrops Stencil and the B0000 - Pale Celestine Copic Marker to create the raindrops. A clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Pen was then used to add a bit of glitter to the raindrops.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Mary Angel and A Little Rain Must Fall (High Hopes Stamps)
• Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
• Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock, DP - Rainbow, Watercolor (Lawn Fawn)
• Copic Markers:  Skin: E0000 - Floral White, E000 - Pale Fruit Pink, E00 - Skin White, R20 - Blush, Hair: E53 - Raw Silk, E51 - Milky White, E50 - Egg Shell; Coat:  G02 - Spectrum Green, G000 - Pale Green, G00 - Jade Green; Pants: V20 - Wisteria, V22 - Ash Lavender; Umbrella & Boots: Y38 - Honey, Y35 - Maize, Y32 - Cashmere, E37 - Sepia, E39 - Leather; Wings:  BG01 - Aqua Blue, BG000 - Pale Aqua, BG0000 - Snow Green; Puddle: B00 - Frost Blue, B000 - Pale Porcelain Blue, B0000 - Pale Celestine

The Cat Did It!

How cute are these two!? I can't help but giggle right along with them! 
Meet Ashley and Jan's Pillow Fun, an older stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. 
I love when a stamp brings back fun memories! This one took me back to when a friend of mine's girls were quite young. They had a pillow fight and ended up knocking some things off a shelf.......nothing broke but they blamed it on the cats. My friend had two cats at the time if I remember correctly, and one was a kitten who was "up" on everything........so really - it was perfect to blame the cat- although Mom was a little smarter then that <wink>

I coloured these cuties with alcohol markers, cut it out with a stitched rectangle die and added some glittery Nuvo drops to their wings. Patterned paper from Simple Stories, My Favourite Things and Doodlebug were perfect for this stamp. 

Some feathers from my stash and some matching glitter gumdrops finish off my card.

Good Clean Fun!

Howdy - MichelleO here today and I have another fun favorite image from High Hopes Stamps. Good Clean Fun! That is! How can you not just adore pigs in a bubble bath?

So cute - I used a piece of paper from my stash from The Girl's Paperie - Jubilee collection. Some pink card stock for a base and then a border punched with a Martha Stewart border punch. I sewed down things with my sewing machine. The sentiment is a High Hopes favorite of mine "Hog Wash!" Then just because you know I had too, I added lots of Rangers Stickles for all those bubbles!

Close up!

There are just images that make you feel good... and High Hopes has so many that just make me smile and feel good!

Spring Is In the Air!

Good day HH Fans!!

Spring is around the corner and for me that means "Spring Cleaning" When I saw this stamp from High Hopes I knew it would make the perfect "Spring Cleaning" themed card. This is the adorable "Tidy Up Tillie"!

I chose paper from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 6x6 collection and finished it off with some Doodlebug Enamel Dots! The sentiment is called "Spring Is In the Air" also by High Hopes! I decided this time to make my own card base with matching pink cardstock. The image and heart border are popped up with foam tape for extra dimension.

Here's my decorated inside with a sentiment I printed on my computer to match my theme!

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E53, E57. E59

Watercolor Birthday Card!

Welcome back crafty friends!
Happy to be back with a watercolor birthday card inspiration today.

I stamped *Cherry Chip Chimp with Versa-Mark and heat emboss with black embossing powder. To coloured I used various ink pads and my Wink Stella pen. After the image was all done I fussy cut it and used some Glossy Accent. The paper is *Little Boys And Their Toys from ThePaperStudios. To finish I added a few dots with *Dandellon Yellow NUVO Crystal Drops.

Here is how the inside looks!

I LOVE decorating the inside of my cards. For the inside I used the same pattern paper and stamped one of my favorites sentiment called *Happy Birthday Script  from High Hopes Stamps
