Under the Weather….

Get Well, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, Sue, , ,

Welcome OCS and HH  fans;

Now that spring has officially arrived, it has also brought the colds and allergies. For my card today, I’m using another great image from High Hopes Stamps new release “Get Well Soon“.

This “Sick Puppy” is definitely feeling poorly and under the weather.  He has his box of kleenex for those sniffles and a hot drink; — it might even be a hot toddy.

English Roses, High Hopes Stamps, One Crazy Stamper, Sue,

Welcome OCS and  HH Fans;

I’m certainly glad that it is Friday and the weekend will soon be here.  It has been one those weeks, when nothing seems to have gone right.  To top it off, I wasn’t able to find where I put a craft item that I wanted to use on today’s card. Hopefully, I will eventually find it.

For today’s card, I used this adorable English Rose from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.  After stamping the image on XPress It Blending Cardstock, I coloured it with copic markers using colours that I usually don’t use.  I added some Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops to the roses and on the die, which didn’t quite work out the way I wanted.  Nuvo High Gloss White Crystal Drops was used in the corners.
