My Bestie Fabby!

Happy Saturday!

 Look at this super cute My Bestie called Fancy Pants Fabby! I just want to squeeze her little cheeks! And her puppy..... pure cuteness! What an adorable stamp set!


I stamped and coloured up Fabby with my Copic markers and then fussy cut out the image. I added a doily, metal embellishment and some lace with ribbon threaded through on top of my design paper that is layered with matching cardstock. I also inked all the edges of my paper and doily with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Vintage Photo to add some dimension to my card.


I used the High Hopes sentiment stamp "Smiling" (#H262) on the inside of my cards as well as a MFT mini double dot border die cut.


It's hard to see but Fabby's bows, leggings and puppy's bow all have clear glitter Wink of Stella added to them.

Red Hat Girl

Good Morning and welcome to another Wonderful Wednesday.  It is my turn to once again post here today and I have a card using the new line of stamps called My Besties.  I was inspired to make this card because the hat reminded me of the red hat society.  I did a little research and this is what I found out about the beginning of the society :

The founder of the Society is artist Sue Ellen Cooper, who lives in Fullerton, Orange County, California. In 1997, Cooper gave a friend a 55th birthday gift consisting of a red bowler purchased at an antique store along with a copy of Jenny Joseph's poem "Warning". The opening lines of the poem read:


"When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go and doesn't suit me."

Originally the society was open for only women over 50, but now is open to all women.  Sounds like a fun time with girlfriends :)

Here is the card:
