High Hopes Hog Wash found here!
 Okay these Hogs are super sweet, I totally love them and the sentiment is so perfect! The image is coloured with Copic markers and glossy accents were added to the bubbles for added dimension
The sentiment was cut on a banner flag, a pretty bow,  flowers and gems too!

Somedays You Just Have To

Happy Thursday and welcome back High Hopes fans! 

My post this week features another of my favourite things - stamping! and colouring of course. I talk to people all day and there is really nothing like coming home and hiding in my craft room - there is something theraputic about colouring and stamping isn't there? 
Ronda Stamping Angel was the perfect stamp to share one more of my favourite things. 



I started by colouring my stamps with alcohol markers and hand fussy cutting her out. Originally I had another plan for this card but it didn't come together like I wanted it to so I had to redirect my creativity...does that ever happen to anyone else? 
I added this cutie to an embossed heart background and stamped my "partial" sentiment directly onto my patterned paper. Some sparkly ribbon and sparkly gumdrops - another of my favourites - finish off my card.

Dragon Birthday

This month our challenge theme is "My Favourite Things". I have gone through my High Hopes stamps and the website and have chosen stamps that represent my favourite things and I will share a different my favourite thing each week.

This week my card brings back memories of camping with my family when I was younger. We always had a campfire - love a campfire! - at night and toasted marshmallows, made spider wieners or even the odd time had a hamburger made over the fire...maybe not the best bedtime snack but boy were they good! My nephew loves to build a fire and toast marshmallows too so I thought these stamps were perfect for his birthday card! He is turning 16 so I had to do something teenage and masculine - yikes!




I started by colouring my stamps with alcohol markers and hand fussy cutting them out. I cut my white cardstock piece and placed my circle die where I wanted it cut out. Next I placed my sentiment and with the help of my Misti, it is perfectly positioned. I added some night starry sky patterned paper behind the circle and some glittery gumdrops to finish off my card. The dragon is also popped up with foam pop dots just for fun. 

Card Recipe 
Stamps: Smore Dragon, Campfire- High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Sentiment: Happy Birthday Block - High Hopes Rubber Stamps
Patterned Paper: The Great Outdoors - Echo Park
 Tuxedo Black ink - Memento,  Misti3D foam pop dots - Forever In Time, sterling sliver Spectrum Sparkle pen, Not Quite Navy ink - Stampin' Up, Best Glue Ever - ScraPerfect, classic circle die - Spellbinders, Ice Ice Baby Sparkly gumdrops - YNS
