That's what friends are for....

Welcome back for another crazy week and I mean it is crazy.  Christmas is 5 days away and I for one am not ready at all; shopping still to do, presents to wrap, the house is a mess and it goes on.  The good thing is that the dryer is finally fixed after three weeks, but the dishwasher now needs fixing as it has a mysterious error message.  Oh the trials of going crazy.

Anyway for my post today here at OCS, I have used the adorable stamp called "Seeds of Friendship" from the latest release of High Hopes Stamps called Woodland Friends.  I added some Flower Soft to the rabbits' tails and used Snow Writer to add some snow.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Seeds of Friendship, Friends are For (Woodland Friends - High Hopes Stamps)
• Ink:  Staz On Jet Black
• Paper:  DP - Winter Wishes (BoBunny)
• Spectrum Noir Pencils: Nature Set - 059, 090, 094, 103; Primaries - 078, 080, 065, 068; Essentials - 004, 005, 111, 112

There is still plenty of time to enter this month's challenge "Always Friends", for a chance to win 2 unmounted High Hopes Stamps of your choice.

Until next time Merry Christmas and enjoy your time with family and loved ones.

What Friends Are For

I have a confession... I am having way too much fun playing with the new Woodland Friends release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! 

It is fun to work with winter images that are all about friends and friendship! 

My card today features: "Seeds Of Friendship" and the "Friends Are For" sentiment from the new release. 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and then cutting it out with a stitched rectangle die. I added some Liquid Applique for the snow. While that dried so I could apply heat to puff it up, I grabbed my patterned paper.

I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a fishtail banner die. I cut another banner in my cardstock colour and added it.  

I cut out the pieces for my layout and once the applique was dry, I puffed it up and added it to my card. I added a flower and some die cut leaves and some gumdrops - my fav!
