Feeling Ruff?

Hello Everyone! A fabulous Sunday to you.

It's Heather here, with some Sunday inspiration with the fabulous stamps of High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

Today my card features the Sick Puppy stamp. This cutie is fluffy and fun and oh so sick! Poor guy. 

What I love about this stamp is that the accessories around him give you the opportunity to play with color. Often, animal or dog stamps have alot of "brown" elements in the image. With this one, you can play with your favorite colors, or your patterned papers, to mix and match.

There is a great sentiment that goes with this puppy, Been Ruff. But, I chose to use Back on Your Feet with this layout. This guy looks like he's saggin' and draggin' a bit, so I figured it fit.

Want to know what color combos I used? Y13 and Y15 for the tissue box, with BV0000, BV00, BV02 and BV04 for the coffee cup. The hot water bottle is colored with R22, R24 and R27 and his cozy blanket is B21, B23 and B41. Puppy himself is colored with E11, E23, E25, E42 and E43 and I've also used my C00, C0, C1 and C3 throughout the image.

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Under the Weather...

Welcome OCS fans;

Now that spring has officially arrived, it has also brought the colds and allergies. For my card today, I'm using another great image from High Hopes Stamps new release "Get Well Soon".

This "Sick Puppy" is definitely feeling poorly and under the weather.  He has his box of kleenex for those sniffles and a hot drink; -- it might even be a hot toddy.

Heard It's Been Ruff

I am having so much fun with the stamps in the new Get Well Soon release! 
When I am sick I have the best four legged nurse ever! My dog loves to cuddle with me when I'm sick and he is even more cuddly when he isn't feeling well. 
I have numerous friends who's dogs do the same thing for them and some of them, like me suffer from spring colds and allergies. 
Sick Puppy is the perfect stamp to make a feel better soon card for one of those friends. 

For my card this week I challenged myself to step out of my colour comfort zone. I think we all have our go colours and this week I wanted to show some love to some markers I don't use as often.
 I coloured up this cutie with alcohol markers added some shading using Prisma pencils and cut him out using a stitched rectangle die. Paper from Photo Play was perfect for my colour combo and some matching ribbon and shaped sprinkles were the perfect finishing touches. It is hard to see in the photo but I added a bit of sparkle with some silver Wink of Stella to the thermometer just for fun.
