I Need a Hug!!!!!

Awwwwwwwwwww!!! So cute, right???! Here is another of the NEW stamps that were debuted yesterday on the High Hopes Rubber Stamps site!! The image is called Group Hug Bears and aren't they sweet?? I feel like I'm sending someone a giant hug with this card!!

I used Close to Cocoa for the card base and some of that yummy Loves Me Designer Paper by Stampin' Up, which unfortunately, is retired! But I thought the colours and the x's and o's would go perfectly with this stamp! I stamped the little teddies on shimmery white paper in Archival Versafine Black Onyx ink and coloured them in using my SU markers. I doodled around the edge and matted them on Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose cardstock. I used my oval punch and stamped Group Hug! on the flip side of the paper and tied some delicious pink ribbon on the left side, threading it through the hole that the oval punch made. I used my ticket corner punch on all the corners and added some teal rhinestones in the corners to match the teal rhinestone flower on the right. Then I pop dotted those teddies and voila!!

OH hey! A cool little tip for ya, when you're visiting the High Hopes Stamps site....if you go to the search hippo (isn't she so cute?) and put in HOTP - for Hot Off The Press, it will bring up all the most recent additions to the catalogue!! Pretty cool, huh??
