All you need is love and a cat -- High Hopes Stamps

Today's creation is made 

with the following High Hopes stamps...

AnnaLee Stamps found here!

and

Friendship warms the heart found here!

I had some scraps of canvas fabric

in my stash and decided to put it to

good use. I sew up the canvas and

made some bags.

Also created a friendship tag stamped on canvas:) !!

Heat pressed a cute sentiment on the back  that reads "all you need is love and a cat"

I used my High hopes stamps with 

Stazons Ink  and and applied it to the

front of the bag.

Pulled out my Copic markers and

coloured the canvas.
Some tips I have if your going to try this technique ... (as I discovered along the way).
 Let the ink fully dry (probably  let dry overnight is the best).  I had some minor smudging along the way.  Partially due to the fact that I didn't give my ink a chance to dry and its best to dot (up and down)  the marker in areas with a lot of ink lines ( like the face).
The background is airbrushed using copic markers along with a die cut cloud that I used as a stencil.

Patches approves this project! :)

Quack Me Up

We all have that one friend (or more) that makes us laugh the whole time we're together don't we?! 

My card today, celebrates the crazy friends we have in our lives. I know I have more then one friend like this in my life and I love being with them...after all laughter is the best medicine right?! 

Inside

I started by stamping and colouring my images with alcohol markers. After fussy cutting them, I went around the edge with a black marker to fix any white that may have been left showing. 
I cut out some graph paper with a stitched rectangle die and partially stamped two more ducks. I wanted it to look like he was cartwheeling through the background. The sentiment was created on my computer and cut with a fishtail banner die. I finished the inside of this card by adding a piece of matching leftover patterned paper and stamping a matching sentiment. 
Some twine and Nuvo Crystal Drops finish off my card.

Happy

I hope you have enjoyed meeting the Darling Diva's from High Hopes this month. For me it has been a challenge to choose a favourite because I like them all! 

I have one last cutie to share with you this month - tomorrow is a new month - Yikes!! My post for today features Ella and Chi Chi.  I walk my dog twice a day and I love this time of year. My neighbours are all planting flowers and it makes me happy to walk around and see all of the different colours combinations people come up with. My dog Moe often has his nose in the air like Chi Chi smelling the fresh scents of Spring!

I decided to use some bright, fun paper from the Bo Bunny Believe collection - the colours remind me of Spring. I only used half of the Happy Thoughts sentiment - Ella sure does look happy doesn't she?! 
The image is coloured with alcohol markers and cut out using a stitched oval die. A few flowers with some Crystal Stickles in the middle for a bit of bling and a sparkly gumdrop finish off my card. I also added some bling to her earring and bracelet with some Silver Wink of Stella.
