It's time for another High Hopes challenge. The new challenge is Anything Goes. (So there's no excuse not to play along!) I pulled out the adorable Standing Birthday Buddy image along with the Happy Bear-Day sentiment for my card.
I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and die cut it with an oval nestability die. I used some patterned paper from Echo Park's Sweet Summertime line. I colored the image with these copic markers: R20, R21, R22, R24, E31, E33, E35, E37. E29, W3, W5, W7, W9, R27, R46. R89. BG45, BG05, BG07, YG17, colorless blender. While the image was still in the die, I sprayed the clouds using a copic marker and my air compressor. I added some stitching and finished my card off with some 5mm pearls, 25mm rose leaves, white sweetheart blossoms, and 2 tone red/white cherry blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts. I'm also playing along with the current Wild Orchid Crafts challenge which is "Beary Special."
Come join us in the challenge for the chance to win some free stamps! Have a wonderful day!
