Hot Cocoa!

Howdy!

Today I'm sharing another card with you for the "Christmas in July" month long theme going on over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! "Snowy's Cup" is one of favourite HH stamps and I always love colouring him! Sometimes I imagine him as a marshmallow & candy decoration you put in your hot cocoa and he melts into it making a delicious rich drink. Love the "Dot Warm Heart" sentiment too! It's true they both really do warm my heart!

One of my favourite non-traditional Christmas colours to use is blue. The Echo Park "Winter" 6x6 collection was perfect for my card, especially with that mug designer paper. After I stamped Snowy onto some Copic friendly paper, I coloured him in using my Copic Sketch markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut around him leaving a small white edge. All my papers today have been inked on the edges using Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. I always love the little bit of dimension it adds to your card. I cut the sentiment out using s MFT Stitched Banner die. A bit of twine, a bow and holly gem fish off my card today.

Copics Used:

B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

E40, E41, E43, E44, E47

Snowy's Cup!

Hi High Hope Fans!

It's Tuesday so that means you can find me over on the High Hopes Blog sharing the cards I made. Today's cards feature the adorable "Snowy's Cup" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps!

I love this stamp because you can stamp a sentiment on the middle of the cup! I used the "Dot warm Winter Wishes" sentiment to do just that!

On the inside I used the "Dot Snowman Melts" sentiment!

My paper is from the Doodlebug Polar Pals 6x6 collection, an oldie but still one of my favourite paper collections! I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut around my image and then popped it up with foam squares for added dimension. I struggled with this layout, I wanted to add more of something but couldn't decide what! Then my mom appeared in my ear saying "less is more" lol so I decided to just leave it like it is! Sometimes Mom is right LOL!

It's hard to see but there is Glossy accents on the nose and buttons, and Spectrum Noir Glitter pen on the purple areas and the red stripes of the candy cane.

Copics Used:

C1, C6, C8, YR04, R24, R27, R29

V12, V15, V17, B23, B26, BG10, BG11, BG13, BG18

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Warm Winter Wishes

Hello All!

For my High Hopes post today I continue the "Christmas in July" theme that has been on the High Hopes Blog this month.

Here is one of the adorable snowman images available from High Hopes.

It's called Snowy's Cup.

I colored the image with Prisma colored pencils and blended with blending stumps and gamsol.

The paper is from a multi pack of patterned paper from Michael's Craft store.

The sentiment is Dot Warm Winter Wishes.
