St. Patrick's Day Coming Soon - Meet Oliver

 Happy Sunday HH Fans!

I didn't realize until the other day that St. Patrick's Day is coming up fast.  I have a couple of Irish friends so I wanted to get going on a couple of cards for them.  I still have at least one more to do.

Let me introduce our awesome bag piper, his name is Oliver.  

I went through my entire stash of patterned paper, yes all of it & I could not find my pad of St. Patrick's Day paper.  So I had to do some thinking & improvising.  I came up with My Memory Box Woodsy Plaid, hoping you think I made this work ok.

Oliver - Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Howdy - MichelleO here and today for High Hopes Stamps I have colored up "Oliver"  for a fun Happy St. Patrick's Day card.

 Isn't he handsome? I colored with my Copics and shaded with a few pencils. (colors below) I then went to find a piece of papers... hmmm Not too many Irish theme papers. So I ended up settling on a piece of green and white plaid from my stash. I needed something else. That lead me to the High Hopes Stamps border! Shamrock Border.. fun and perfect for Oliver to dance around on! So I colored the shamrocks and then added to my pattern paper with a black cards stock mat. Oliver cut out and then is then pop dotted above! Gives him a bit of a wiggle dancing look to him. I sewed down the layers and added to a white card stock base. 

For a sentiment I used St. Patrick's Script from High Hopes Stamps. Fun Script Font - love it with my images. 

 Copic colors used -

I just love how fun images are at High Hopes Stamps... for any subject! Pop over to the High Hopes Stamps HERE! 

Top O' The Morning!

Happy Sunday HHS Friends,

Welcome to another high hopes stamps card inspiration!

I used this two stamps "Oliver" and the sentiment is "Top O' The Morning" both from  highhopesstamps.com

To start, I colored with alcohol markers Then die cut my main image with an oval die and used lots of foam tape to give dimension  The patterned paper is from my Christmas stash. I decorated just with a few candy dots and used a white gel pen.
