Hopeful sweet scene

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are well and have been having some fun playing with your crafts or other activities you enjoy!

I am happy to finally be feeling motivated to play again and have a little something to share with you today. I had hoped to join in on the fun release with Whimsy Stamps this month but unfortunately I just ran out of time BUT I couldn’t let this gorgeous stamp ‘Hopeful’ go un-inked and so I coloured up a little scene for her using some MIC background stamps.

Hopeful – from Whimsy Stamps

In the background I have
Garden Fence and at the top I stamped Peaches of Plenty which clearly I have coloured as apples!!

As I was playing around with ideas for the layout I got all excited with the idea of making a layout scene and so out came my magnolia Doohickey dies and I cut the grass, fence and clouds and then I ran the clouds and fence through with an embossing folder to add some texture.

Then I added some flowers to bring out a bit of colour from the image, wrote up a little sentiment and attached my fav chippies the mini dragonflies – (seriously you can just pop em on anything and they look fab!!)

Of course the other half looks at my card and says – Are you making a joke having the flame extinguished and then saying you brighten my day?!  And I said – no I don’t need to have it lit because it is YOU that brightens my day!!  HAHA

OK that’s all from me today!!

Sending you some big Aussie squeezes!!
