A dreamy day!

Happy Friday Friends!!

Thanks so much for popping by today!  I have had this adorable image coloured up for a while now & I thought it was time to get her made into a card.  This is "Fairy On A Log" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  I have paired this sweetie with "Dot Simple Happy Birthday" also from High Hopes.

This fairy just takes me to thoughts of a dreamy day sitting in nature & enjoying everything around me.  I kept the design for this card very simple.  Since I chose the Copic BV's it was a little challenging to match cardstock...but I like the choice I made.  I just had a couple sheets left, I believe it is a retired Bazzil color.  I don't remember the name of the colour...sorry!

Happy Belated.....

Hi Friday HH fans!!

Today I'm sharing an adorable image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps called Cupcake Hedgie....isn't he adorable?!

A few years back our daughter wanted a hedgehog sooooo bad.  My husband & I finally relented & let her get one....a few months later we had two.  Kovu & Kalee a boy and girl.  Of course we had to invest in the big Critter Nation cage because you can't put a male & female together.  Sadly this Spring we lost our beloved Kovu at almost 6 years old, he was an amazing boy, even our vet loved him.  Kalee is still doing well, she will be 6 in the Fall.  Contrary to popular belief hedgehogs can be very sweet, you just need to spend a lot of time with them.  

Hedgehogs come in a variety of colours this cutie looks more like our little girl Kalee.  I paired the image with our Happy Belated Birthday sentiment....you can always use one of those in your stash.

Let's Celebrate with Yertle Turtle

Happy Wednesday HH Fans!!

I'm so excited to share the High Hopes Rubber Stamps Re-Release of 9 adorable images that have been retired for sometime.  This release is aptly named "Let's Celebrate"....the images are all about celebrating.

Today I have one of my favourites to share....this cutie is called "Yertle Turtle".  I paired Yertle with our "Make A Wish" sentiment.

When I was a kid I had a little turtle that I loved dearly.  My Mom picked up a cool bowl for him at a yard sale, it came complete with some stones & other turtle stuff.  He was my friend, I talked to him & read stories to him and I loved to watch him eat.  Back in those days we didn't have the internet of course, so my source for learning about how to care for a turtle came from going to the library & writing down all the information I could gather.  So needless to say I just love turtles....live frogs not so much...turtles move at more my speed lol!

I colored Yertle with Copics...here's the list:

Body - YG17, YG13, YG11

Shell - YG67, YG17, YG13

Balloon & Hat Orange - Y38, Y18, Y17

Balloon & Hat Blue - B39, B37, B34

Cheek - R01

Grounding - Y38, Y17, Y15

I made the mat behind the image with watercolor paper, distress inks (green, yellow & orange) & some splats of water for texture.

Extra stuff - Echo Park Birthday Salutations patterned paper 6 x 6 pad, White Gel Pen, Blue/White Twine, Green Enamel Dots, also used a couple of dies but can't remember the names.

I hope you will go take a peak at the other 8 images that go with this release.  You can find them all HERE
