Moood Swing


I have another sneak peek for you today of some new High Hopes stamps (releasing late Saturday night/Sunday morning depending upon where you are).  The grumpy cow, hay bale, and sentiment are all part of the new release.  Isn't that cow hilarious?!  I just love it! lol

I stamped my cow first.  Then, I masked the image and stamped the hay bale.  I cut it out using a nestability die and colored it with copic markers.

My card was the result of a happy accident.  I cut my patterned paper squares and stitched them to the mats and then realized they were too large.  So, I just overlapped them on alternating sides.  I tied some ocean tides stitched ribbon around the card and added my sentiment tag.  Then, I stitched some buttons to my image and added it to my card using foam adhesive.

Be sure to check out the other divas' blogs to see who else has a sneak peek to share!  (Links are on the left side of my blog.)  Lots of new adorable images!!
