'Cause She's Got Hiiiiiiigh Hopes!!!

8:32 AM

Well, you'll be happy to know that my precious Copic markers are home, safe and sound! (You can read yesterday's story here.) We drove over to Andrea's place yesterday afternoon to rescue them....I mean pick them up. I know they were in fine hands, but I'm sure they felt abandoned and I don't blame them. I almost hugged them and kissed them when I saw them, waiting for me, but that would have just been embarassing. What....too dramatic??? I gave them the day off yesterday, to recuperate from their traumatic experience but today they'll get some lovin', because I don't have to work today!! yaaaay!!

Today's card features another new High Hopes image!! This one is Hopeful Ant!! I used Kraft cardstock again for the base and some plaid DCWV patterned paper. I coloured the image in using my precious Copic markers and matted it in Real Red. I just love the ant in purple! I pop dotted the main layer, stamped the sentiment on Sahara Sand and punched it out with my small oval punch and added a pretty flower cluster, using a Basic Grey button and some linen thread.

Well, as I said I have the day off and lots of stamping to do, so I'd better get started! Have a wonderfully inky day!!

Linda Deline said...: Hi Kim, your card is cute! Wish I had your talent for colours. I did not come her by the usual route, but through the Scraps Chat Newsletter where your card is highlighted. So much fun seeing something like that and being able to say "I know her". God bless.; February 23, 2009 5:08 PM
