Beach Girl Patti

Here's a simple card I put together at the house today while killing a few minutes before leaving for a ball game. It features an image called Beach Girl Patti from High Hopes. (LOVE their stamps, the only problem is they are in Canada and shipping time is HORRENDOUS.) It takes on average 2 months to get your order...NO JOKE!! Part of it is the fact that it's a small, fairly new company and they are being hit with tons of orders as their images are so dang cute. The other part though is the Canadian postal service/US postal service issues. Anyhow, I colored her straight with my COPIC markers (no shading or anything for added depth.) Sentiment is from an old birthday greetings set from SU.

Christmas Snowman Card

I wanted to get a jump start on some of my Christmas cards. This one features a snow lady stamp from High Hopes. The snow lady has been colored with copic markers. I usually like to do a handful of some "non traditional" Christmas/Holiday colored cards and this one fits the bill. The sentiment will be stamped later as I may decide to turn it into my holiday thank you notes.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I am catching up on my posts...here are my St. Patrick's Day cards for this year. I needed to keep it fairly simple as I was short on time (they didn't go out until Monday, the 17th)!

Recipe

C/S: Stampin' Up! Garden Green, White

Stamp: High Hopes

Sentiment: Stampin' Up!

Accessories: Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon, White Gel Pen, Sponge, Circle Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, Stampin Write Markers, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

Happy Easter!

This is my Easter card for 2008. I just got them finished and into the mail on Saturday (better late than never!)

Here's the recipe:

C/S: Lavender Lace from Stampin' Up!

Decorative Paper: cute plaid that I picked up at Joann's and have been hoarding.

Stamps: High Hopes

Sentiment: computer generated

Accessories: SU scallop punch, Berwick trim

Technique: I colored in the bunnies with various markers and then used some chalk to get rid of the "streaks"...you can still see them though. I was testing out what shade to make the bunny and am not sure which one I like best.
