Country Garden….

Welcome Everyone;

There are times, when creating a card that I have no idea what sentiment to use at the time.  When this happens, I add the card to my “General & Anything Goes” stash.  A Thinking of You, Happy Birthday, Thank You sentiment can be added at the last minute.

So for today’s card I used Country Garden from High Hopes Stamps vast repertoire and left the sentiment of for now as I couldn’t decide which one to use.

  • Stamps:  Country Garden (T005) – High Hopes Stamps

Welcome HH Fans;

For today’s card, I couldn’t decide which one to use.  I decided to show both.  Same stamps, different layout.  I do like the versatility that High Hopes Stamps bring.

After stamping Bubble Love on XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured both of them with Copic Markers.  I used different dies for each card, as well as lace, some Pearls from Kaisercraft, and some Zig Wink of Stella added to the bubbles and butterflies finished off the cards.
