Busy Mama

Howdy MichelleO today and again I am having some fun with another great older High Hopes image. The perfect image for Mother's Day or any card to cheer up the "Busy Mama" in your life!

 Yes this is one "Busy Mama" - 3 little hares would make any Mama busy don't you think? I colored with my copics and then found an older pattern paper in my stash from Sassafras. I adore that those scallops at the bottom are a printed part of the paper and cut out! I sewed down the layers with a pink card stock mat and used a cream colored card stock for my card. The sentiment "hare raising" is so perfect with the image!

Copic colors used -

Love this springy image. Can't you think of a Mom in your life that would get a smile from this image? To see all the fun at High Hopes Stamps pop on over to the web site store HERE and have some fun browsing all the fabulous images to play with! 

Thanks so much!

Easter Greetings!

Happy Tuesday!

Easter is around the corner so I pulled out one of my favourite High Hopes Stamps to make this adorable Easter card. My card today uses the "3 Pane Easter" stamp!

I am using paper from the Doodlebug Bunnyville 6x6 collection and a PPP Story Book2 Metal Die to create my card with.  Since I wanted to use this die, I separated the images from the "3 Pane Easter" stamp and then cut them with the die so that they would fit. I used the HH "Easter Greetings" in the largest pane. A cute 6 loop bow finishes everything off. 

On my decorated inside I used the HH sentiment called "Hugs Kisses Easter Wishes".

Copics Used:

Bunny: E51, E53, E55, E57

Chick: Y13, Y15, Y17/ YR04, YR07

Lamb: N1, N2, N4, N5, N7

Cheeks and ears: R00, R01, R20

B000, B00, B02

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
• YNS Gumdrops: Sparkly Teal, Lavendar

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.
