This is the last card that I have created and haven't shared yet. I'm busy working on Papertrey Ink release stuff so new stuff is coming soon! I can't believe it is already release time again!
If you've paid for stamps and such through paypal, your package is going out this morning. As soon as I get done typing this up, the kids and I are going to be walking to the post office. Please let me know when your package arrives safely.
The ants from the last High Hopes release have quickly become some of my favorites. They are just so cute! This stamp is called Sweet Dreams. I chose some My Mind's Eye patterned papers (Tres Jolie) and and classic orange Prism cardstock. I oftenline the inside of my cards with white or vintage cream cardstock. It just helps finish them off with a nice place to write my message.
I colored my image with copic markers that coordinate with my patterned papers. After matting my image with classic orange cardstock, I added some Nut Brown Flower Soft. I love the dimension it adds! Last, I added a sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages.
Off to the post office we go! Have a good one!
Niki

Such a great image, it fits the sentiment perfectly. Love the sewing you do on most of your cards. I usually either forget about it or am too lazy to do it. It does look so nice when you do the sewing. Love the way you do the corners. Hope to see your Papertrey stuff soon.
