This cutie is called <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/holidays/mothers-day/love-birds-tdg101/" target="_blank">Love Birds</a> & is designed by Dina Gerner. It's perfect for an anniversary, wedding or just to say I love you. For my card today I have paired <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/holidays/mothers-day/love-birds-tdg101/" target="_blank">Love Birds </a>with our sentiment called <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/valentines-sentiments/my-favorite-fdg047/" target="_blank">My Favorite</a>.</p><p>Have you every thought about why you make cards? In today's fast-paced world, where digital communication dominates, there's something truly special about receiving a handmade card. Each card is crafted with love and care, these tangible tokens carry not just a message, but a piece of my heart. That's why I do what I do. Leave me a comment & let me know why you make cards.</p><p>For this card I decided to dust off my Distress Inks, I haven't used them in such a long time. I created the background on the card base with my ink blending tool using Mustard Seed & Broken China. I love how blending the yellow & blue created a almost perfect match to the green in the leaves.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCVSSeUXvGFZ9P4YX4S6D4fA_EKT129RhlCKTCqRdTQ0daN0bDW5aEwFGpXNTWlS92UzT66XEJaWSI9aeouUGsibI6TTfbMh2ERj7HstdEUaqZ6qD6BIXa8tJY1htPPESzVqdT6BHhk0K76Wk9tMTlkA-0mhBWFRg1XFw5aRn8nnVhpshF0EKjk_d-zA/s1987/TDG101_Card_1wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1521" data-original-width="1987" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhCVSSeUXvGFZ9P4YX4S6D4fA_EKT129RhlCKTCqRdTQ0daN0bDW5aEwFGpXNTWlS92UzT66XEJaWSI9aeouUGsibI6TTfbMh2ERj7HstdEUaqZ6qD6BIXa8tJY1htPPESzVqdT6BHhk0K76Wk9tMTlkA-0mhBWFRg1XFw5aRn8nnVhpshF0EKjk_d-zA/w400-h306/TDG101_Card_1wm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Copic Combos</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Branch - E39, E37, E35</div><div style="text-align: center;">Leaves - YG09, YG07, YG06</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bird on the left - Y08, Y06, Y04</div><div style="text-align: center;">Bird on the right - B24, B23, B21</div><div style="text-align: center;">Background - B000, B0000</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Misc supplies</b> - Memento Tuxedo black in for stamping, Copic friendly cardstock, A2 size card base, Distress Inks Mustard Seed & Broken China, Ink Blending Tool, yellow satin ribbon, Bazzil Parakeet cardstock, YNS Stitched Rectangle dies</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Stamps</b> - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/holidays/mothers-day/love-birds-tdg101/" target="_blank">Love Birds TDG101</a> & <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/valentines-sentiments/my-favorite-fdg047/" target="_blank">My Favorite FDG047</a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for poppin' by today & don't forget to leave me a comment and let me know why you make cards.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Stampin'!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAz3PJ05sXs8NdeTh6Kuohbskt4-MwfD8wDNQkqH1LU8K07rL1ZWHp0vTwI9aHYeB2JPNAUxZ0FQzosBklu6M7V6E_dI3I5Jv_gYufSczGo1BTFFYGVo95S-X461IwrPUybppjf95lIh4YzeOAi5it7ZLvotbtEbU98kICB-ijR3RFjNnvBQG5b2YWzyA/s180/Siggy2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="86" data-original-width="180" height="86" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAz3PJ05sXs8NdeTh6Kuohbskt4-MwfD8wDNQkqH1LU8K07rL1ZWHp0vTwI9aHYeB2JPNAUxZ0FQzosBklu6M7V6E_dI3I5Jv_gYufSczGo1BTFFYGVo95S-X461IwrPUybppjf95lIh4YzeOAi5it7ZLvotbtEbU98kICB-ijR3RFjNnvBQG5b2YWzyA/s1600/Siggy2.png" width="180" /></a></div>Lora Sinkler-Lakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04036558584153663890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499576809412296715.post-19712454354521004942024-03-14T00:00:00.001-04:002024-03-14T00:00:00.245-04:00Lazy Daisy Gift Set<p> <span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;">We have had a lot of spring type weather where I live. Normally we are covered in a ton of snow at this time of year, but this year we have had a lot of sun and double digit temperatures. It feels like spring and spring to me means flowers!! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I planted some daffodil bulbs in the summer and they have started to come up already! I am hoping the little bit of snow and freezing temperatures we had on the weekend don't kill them but somehow I think they will be alright. The new daffodils and a tulip coming up inspired my cards for this week. I decided to do a card gift set featuring the Lazy Daisy Lady Bug stamp and a number of sentiments from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Am I the only one ready to see some spring flower beauty in the flower beds? </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYchjWslr9VBZ6HE3IYWp4Jtd24QzTqitB7x74YjjGAKglQ5uq1_WrmooV7GT5NhFQtpKbxpOUCXzA14GBB3DypaO4BMEqwxkPEN1Ws59d4wBa09kcHB_5ApT1keDEnM5k3iPlwtvYt_7ZxVSTQQTeDmsmDhU7ORXWjWoqmde5iHn7rNtePa6PCHNvt18/s1020/Lazy%20Daisy%20Lady%20Bugs3HH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="829" data-original-width="1020" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYchjWslr9VBZ6HE3IYWp4Jtd24QzTqitB7x74YjjGAKglQ5uq1_WrmooV7GT5NhFQtpKbxpOUCXzA14GBB3DypaO4BMEqwxkPEN1Ws59d4wBa09kcHB_5ApT1keDEnM5k3iPlwtvYt_7ZxVSTQQTeDmsmDhU7ORXWjWoqmde5iHn7rNtePa6PCHNvt18/w454-h369/Lazy%20Daisy%20Lady%20Bugs3HH.jpg" width="454" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">After stamping the image 5 times on alcohol marker friendly paper, I coloured them with Copic markers and cut them out using a square die. Next, I grabbed my Misti and some of my favourite High Hopes sentiment and stamped each daisy with it's own sentiment. Truth be told, the two smaller Just A Note cards are the result of a sentiment I masked off that I didn't stamp straight, so I trimmed them down to create two smaller cards. I wanted to keep the design clean and simple for this set and added them to a piece of black card stock. There are three 4.5" x 4.5" cards and two approximately 4" x 3.25" cards in this set and I am hoping someone in my life will be able to use them. </span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/animals/lazy-daisy-ladybugs-j111/">Lazy Daisy Lady Bugs</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(J111</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/you-make-me-smile-fdg015/">You Make Me Smile </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(FDG015), </span><span><a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/sending-smiles-g276/">Sending Smiles</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(G276),<a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/just-a-note-dll003/"> </a></span><a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/just-a-note-dll003/">Just A Note</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(DLL003)</span></span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> - </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, black card stock, square die</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Stem - YG01 YG03 YG17</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Centres - Y11 Y15 YR23</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Petals - C0 C1 C2</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Lady Bugs - T2 T4 T6 R05 R17 R39</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Outline - B000</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

Oh and this little mishap below....</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">One year my daughter decided she was going to do her eggs all on her own. I happened to be out that day & she was with Daddy. So Daddy thinks she's having fun in her toy room playing. He doesn't think...hmmm seems pretty quite in the house...nope! I come home to find my daughter covered in paint, thankfully water based, from head to toe. I can't even tell you how bad the toy room looked. My girl was so proud of her creations and I have to say they looked a lot better than her or the room. The problem wasn't the mess I had to clean up, it was that she used fresh eggs. Easter was a month away, I didn't think they would keep that long. Well we gave it a go & they made it for Easter...but as soon as Easter was over they were gone to the compost bin. I wish I had the pictures of the mess & the eggs it would have been great to share with this little story. Needless to say we went with hard boiled after that & made them a few days before Easter lol.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWNT3Qo_hugPU6x5VSMWcZ31yvyCd_v3zSYk9Lp8bC321W6oqm0XKQ8-PYVhhWivFcEIJvn2-SMjI6dZLIKF7Z8clIzJJPl5e47u5uYzOe_nzR64VdcFaxrjOylyIQB-8P_-8oDBwHBPr5nS4AbdIFH-n4Vg_r4JvjJOTFoTMcbkaS0cmUFrAmeVIyf0/s1760/S063_Card_3wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1760" data-original-width="1728" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkWNT3Qo_hugPU6x5VSMWcZ31yvyCd_v3zSYk9Lp8bC321W6oqm0XKQ8-PYVhhWivFcEIJvn2-SMjI6dZLIKF7Z8clIzJJPl5e47u5uYzOe_nzR64VdcFaxrjOylyIQB-8P_-8oDBwHBPr5nS4AbdIFH-n4Vg_r4JvjJOTFoTMcbkaS0cmUFrAmeVIyf0/w393-h400/S063_Card_3wm.jpg" width="393" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Copic Combos</span></u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Grass - YG63, YG25, YG23</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Bunnies Grey - C2.

Patterned paper from Echo Park and PhotoPlay were perfect for this adorable stamp and I cut them to fit the A2 size card base and design. To create the sentiment, I masked off each word and stamped them in a line (the sentiment is stacked) leaving enough room for a die cut number 1 and hand printed "st". To finish off hte card I added some die cut balloons, enamel dots and the stamp is added with 3D foam pop dots.</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/babies/baby-elephant-rdg009/">Baby Elephant</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(RDG009</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/birthday-sentiments/happy-birthday-o001/">Happy Birthday!</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(O001)</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> - </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Magical Birthday - Boy - Echo Park </span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Party Boy - PhotoPlay </span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, corner rounder, number die - Elizabeth Craft Designs Tab die, balloon die - Gina Marie Designs, 3D foam dots, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Body - C1 C2 C4 C5</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ears- E01 E02 E93 E95</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Butterfly - Y11 Y15 Y17</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Balloon - BG32 BG15 BG49</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

The die had a scalloped edge on top but I decided to remove the scallops as they just didn't feel right. I cut card stock to go behind it and decided to tilt it slightly to create some interest on the card. It was pretty plain so I used a small heart die to cut out three hearts down the side. I added some even smaller hearts in the middle just for fun. I cut a piece of patterned paper from an old Kaisercraft pad to fit the 5" x 5" base and used the cut off piece to go across the middle. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">The sentiment was stamped, cut out with an oval die and put on matching card stock. The white edges on the patterned paper and sentiment were inked with Antique Linen Oxide Distress Ink to help the layers stand out. Some heart cut outs in the corner, ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/animals/snuggles-and-cuddles-tdg044/">Snuggles and Cuddles</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TDG044</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/family-sentiments/happy-mothers-day-fll029/">Happy Mother's Day</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(FLL029)</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> - </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Sage & Grace - Kaisercraft</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, Antique Linen Oxide Distress ink, oval die, heart border die - Your Next Stamp, heart die - stash, ribbon, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bears - T4 T5 T8 R00 R11 R21 W1</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bamboo- G07 YG07 B97</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Shading - C1 C2</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

Friends come in all shapes and sizes and "Fish Kiss" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps was perfect for my card. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This inspiration for this card came from a young man in my life who has an amazing relationship and friendship with his grand parents. He will drop everything to come and help them if they need it and when he has good news or bad, they are often one of the first people he talks to and tells. He is an amazing young man and doesn't expect any more then a thank you from them when he has done something for them......or a good home cooked meal <smile>. I hope you enjoy my card and appreciate the friends you have in your life as much as I do. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSSl0LOPfiWVwq_5mltjlW2oRwIUQKl1BoNG0JYEV6yt5oMWTtr-6A-u_VnW6meAOL71mpelx3dph4yBKZcRQK0fiAOtJXhFYLX6J3i5z4Scz1T72YA7bDvLDFsnLKF6Y5E9_TAv7g8D0NuBWlCRz6fboX2dVj_AqSP6GNjDS6QLb93656NuI5XHM-f7E/s1008/Fish%20Kiss5HH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="988" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSSl0LOPfiWVwq_5mltjlW2oRwIUQKl1BoNG0JYEV6yt5oMWTtr-6A-u_VnW6meAOL71mpelx3dph4yBKZcRQK0fiAOtJXhFYLX6J3i5z4Scz1T72YA7bDvLDFsnLKF6Y5E9_TAv7g8D0NuBWlCRz6fboX2dVj_AqSP6GNjDS6QLb93656NuI5XHM-f7E/w403-h411/Fish%20Kiss5HH.jpg" width="403" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU1TEH3EYzBPnV37JD77MXguLAJevS6S0b-iOAD8RP6fKIBj3y1Zt5lcEQFQTjC0wXqNVRA6wl3asOFG8cRjBZxNdp-jbUrayhzWq5nBJlhsfCCD5Kpgt79vK0k1ZFnhpKLUrotri2D71KOD-VMmo64Cidma0n14dyHXBuJYaMnRj4pdfs7TLFQmygNN4/s870/Fish%20Kiss5CloseuP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="735" data-original-width="870" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU1TEH3EYzBPnV37JD77MXguLAJevS6S0b-iOAD8RP6fKIBj3y1Zt5lcEQFQTjC0wXqNVRA6wl3asOFG8cRjBZxNdp-jbUrayhzWq5nBJlhsfCCD5Kpgt79vK0k1ZFnhpKLUrotri2D71KOD-VMmo64Cidma0n14dyHXBuJYaMnRj4pdfs7TLFQmygNN4/s320/Fish%20Kiss5CloseuP.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and hand fussy cut the image. I ran a black marker around the outside to get any white I had missed. A combination of patterned paper from Honey Bee and Mintay were cut to fit my 5" x 5" card base. To create the scene in the middle, I cut some trees and "snow banks" with a die cuts and added some blue toned paper to look like ice for the fish. The sentiment was stamped, cut and mounted on matching card stock and the twine I put across the bottom. Enamel dots finish off my card. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/outdoor-fun/fishing/fish-kiss-tdg017/">Fish Kiss</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TDG017</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/friendship-sentiments/friendship-fdg023/">Friendship </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(FDG023)</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> - </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Log Cabin - Honey Bee Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Basic Book 10 - Background Wood - Mintay</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, tree die - Memory Box, snow bank die - YNS, twine, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bear - E23 E25 E27 R12 R00 E41 E42 E43 T4 T6 T8</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Fish - YG93 YG95 YG97</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Snow/Ice - B000 B00 BO1 BV20</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

The patterned paper I used is from Elizabeth Craft Designs as I wanted a soft yellow - to me yellow is comforting when you aren't feeling well. I cut the paper to fit my 5" x 5" base and to fit the design I had in mind. The sentiment was stamped and glued down on some matching card stock and added to the card. I added some flowers from my stash, some ribbon and a bow and glitter dots to finish off my card.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/get-well/sick-bird-tt174/">Sick Bird </a></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TT174</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/get-well-sentiments/better-quickly-j057/">Better Quickly </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(J057)</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"> - </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Pretty Pastels - Elizabeth Craft Designs</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, glitter dots, circle die, ribbon, flowers</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Leaves - G05 G07 G28</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Umbrella - Y11 Y15 Y17</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Body - R24 R27 R37 R59</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Drops - B00 B02</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Eyes - N5 N6 10</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tissues - C2</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Branch/Handle - E34 E35 E29</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

I stamped and cut out the sentiments, put them on matching card stock and glued them on two different parts of the card.

made me smile! </p><p>Copic colors used - <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhukL0y-9bZ-5aD9l1f76ccYTcHaOyGD8vUcMEVu_hxYoUKd2ROBWJCYYIYs41WsR-ye9PEVRVS8OB_xYXiEUte8VYMMlGErbaWSmnvMkCLaFggxjP4DfaWlrBBZl5a1-vrFGpE__LhE0Ji4lg7dvZBrSuSmm3ogLWJwqjyaW4lgmv4ZZQsWAf21IIuUvQq/s1016/HH-FroginBoxers225DF8BE8-E07C-4158-B9CD-4AD88A782312_1_105_c.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="774" data-original-width="1016" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhukL0y-9bZ-5aD9l1f76ccYTcHaOyGD8vUcMEVu_hxYoUKd2ROBWJCYYIYs41WsR-ye9PEVRVS8OB_xYXiEUte8VYMMlGErbaWSmnvMkCLaFggxjP4DfaWlrBBZl5a1-vrFGpE__LhE0Ji4lg7dvZBrSuSmm3ogLWJwqjyaW4lgmv4ZZQsWAf21IIuUvQq/w302-h231/HH-FroginBoxers225DF8BE8-E07C-4158-B9CD-4AD88A782312_1_105_c.jpg" width="302" /></a></div><p><br />To find so many fun images at High Hopes Stamps click <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/">HERE</a> and have some fun! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiFcLpzJurSM0JSEmw0L51y3D19aXBL4SKIb6Hy-BAQN_prAmDd1wvxr0TZr0mc16jzA7fs723vxNW9GCPk8vPYwxRaPZe7mHazp0StodPmrWary33r-cMoU1U9OKiP32AUctv78yw0vR6jrLd-0yW7678L8IEt7obi6NUdgbtfj6FyYHoeUXsT9rkvxM/s569/Michelle_DT_HHSignature.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="171" data-original-width="569" height="96" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiFcLpzJurSM0JSEmw0L51y3D19aXBL4SKIb6Hy-BAQN_prAmDd1wvxr0TZr0mc16jzA7fs723vxNW9GCPk8vPYwxRaPZe7mHazp0StodPmrWary33r-cMoU1U9OKiP32AUctv78yw0vR6jrLd-0yW7678L8IEt7obi6NUdgbtfj6FyYHoeUXsT9rkvxM/s320/Michelle_DT_HHSignature.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>MichelleOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15893406224460208088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499576809412296715.post-63575003986234434782024-01-18T00:00:00.001-05:002024-01-18T00:00:00.131-05:00Eat Cake!<p> <span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: center;">I had a few friends growing up that when the going got tough, we would get together and eat our ultimate comfort food.......cake! I am still friends with a few of these amazing ladies although we don't live close enough to each other to do an impromptu cake get together like we used to. However, when we are able to get together ...you know there will be cake! Baking gnome from High Hopes Rubber Stamps reminds me of these days and friends so I decided to use him for a card for one of them.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh61g-1F4_sYCUEOEwyOQFgHS4yuFbgBs3_awEmqSmllVMD4QEJVJ-QX0t_Y4wDWnQqLhu3Cq14InJ-eTF6eGsff71T_UAeyN4RCltRq8Grcp7LUH3lPP6uBDRnRTYdjBT1k5RPQ-UgD2T9Oa58O69S6KAtdDSiZordirfjrvtTR8MCU8Co7kFSRa2Z08w/s1028/Baking%20Gnome3HH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1028" data-original-width="848" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh61g-1F4_sYCUEOEwyOQFgHS4yuFbgBs3_awEmqSmllVMD4QEJVJ-QX0t_Y4wDWnQqLhu3Cq14InJ-eTF6eGsff71T_UAeyN4RCltRq8Grcp7LUH3lPP6uBDRnRTYdjBT1k5RPQ-UgD2T9Oa58O69S6KAtdDSiZordirfjrvtTR8MCU8Co7kFSRa2Z08w/w358-h433/Baking%20Gnome3HH.jpg" width="358" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_ZJtEJErEv2-3enLYr1TQi7eA9nXMfIOTssH5Jsz1phf_UYBnDXNO01d0hRbPl6uylil1U2YcyFjgFeGXgk4z6DA7ZnO4x499coZcVaFyOu3i3zJtIWMWJjW6BAyuiw3HhHKm4RoxO3dAPaAcS-_II3noETACMojh7nEnNTENw3lODLpNlTK3r2y-gY/s688/Baking%20Gnome3CloseUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="688" data-original-width="528" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_ZJtEJErEv2-3enLYr1TQi7eA9nXMfIOTssH5Jsz1phf_UYBnDXNO01d0hRbPl6uylil1U2YcyFjgFeGXgk4z6DA7ZnO4x499coZcVaFyOu3i3zJtIWMWJjW6BAyuiw3HhHKm4RoxO3dAPaAcS-_II3noETACMojh7nEnNTENw3lODLpNlTK3r2y-gY/s320/Baking%20Gnome3CloseUp.jpg" width="246" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">I coloured with Copic markers and cut the stamp out using a square xstitch die. I found some patterned paper from Memory Box and cut it to fit my A2 size card base. To create the wave, I cut the paper with a hill die and then trimmed the straight edge off to the size I wanted after laying it beside the larger piece. I used an embossing folder the add some texture to both of these pieces before gluing them down. I cut a banner to go behind the image, stamped the sentiment and cut it out with an oval die. All of the paper and stamped image are inked around the edges with London Fog ink. After gluing the banner down, I cut the stamp square with the stamped image to fit the edge of the card and glued the sentiment down over one corner. Some enamel dots finish off my card. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps -<a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/birthday/baking-gnome-slf035/"> Baking Gnome</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(SLF035</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/birthday-sentiments/eat-cake-fdg026/">Eat Cake</a> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(FDG026)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Spring Plaid - Memory Box</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, polka dot embossing folder - Cricut, xtitched square die - Gina Marie Designs, fishtail banner die, oval die, London Fog ink - Memento, hill die, enamel dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Skin - E00 E21 E11</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cake - E23 E25 E27</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Stand/Shoes - C1 C2 C4</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Clothes - B00 B01 B02</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Flowers - RV10 RV14 RV21</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bowl/Spoon - E41 E42 E43</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

Patterned paper was perfect for the background so I cut the pieces to fit the 5"x 5" card base and design. Next, I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a fishtail banner die, added some matching card stock, put it on the corner of the card and glued everything down. Glitter dots in the corners and the sentiment finish off the card. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/animals/hummingbird-tlf020/#prettyPhoto">Hummingbird </a></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(TLF020</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/birthday-sentiments/happy-birthday-script-fdg028/">Happy Birthday Script </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(FDG028)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Spiffy Speckles, Flower Market - Lawn Fawn</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, pleated lace square die - Gina Marie Designs, fishtail banner - Whimsy Stamps, glitter dots</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bird - BG05 BG07 BG09 R37 R59 Y15 Y17 Y35 YR18</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Flowers - Y13 Y08 Y26 E44 E47</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Leaves - YG01 YG03 G17 G28</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!

I cut an envelope edge die and added some small scallops to the top and bottom the tag for added interest. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">I inked the edges of all the paper and tag with Vintage Photo Distress ink and set them aside. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">To create the sentiment I masked off the words I wanted (it is a larger sentiment) and first stamped the word create and after drawing a light pencil line under it I masked off the bottom line and stamped it. This often takes two, three or more tries but this time it worked the first time!

The first step was to cut a piece of white card stock to the size I needed to fit my A2 size card. Next, I took Mowed Lawn Distress ink and smooshed it on to a piece of acetate, misted the piece of acetate with water and "kissed" the white card stock to the ink. I rotated the paper to get "kisses" of colour where I wanted them on the paper and set it aside to dry.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #242424; font-family: verdana;">While the paper dried, I hand fussy cut the stamped image I had coloured with Copic markers leaving a thin white line. I found some water colour look paper to match and cut it out using fish tail banner dies. I stamped the sentiment directly on one of them and then layered them together, glued them down and added the stamped image. A heart banner in the corner finishes off the card. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #242424; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: verdana;"><u>Stamp Recipe</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">Stamps - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/animals/puppy-pals-ss034/">Puppy Pals</a> </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(SS034</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: verdana;">- High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></div><div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sentiment - <a href="https://highhopesstamps.com/shop/sentiments/just-to-say/pawsing-to-say-g306/">Pawsing To Say </a><span style="font-size: x-small;">(G306)</span><span><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - </span>High Hopes Rubber Stamps</span></span></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Patterned Paper - Bloom & Wild - Craft Consortium</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Hammermill Digital Cover Card Stock, fishtail banner dies, Mowed Lawn Distress ink, heart banner die - Whimsy Stamps</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><u>Copic Markers</u></b></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Noses - N3 N5 N8 10 </span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bodies - E13 E15 E17 E18 C1</span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Grass - YG61 YG63 </span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;">Thanks for stopping by!
