Beach bunny

This card is still waiting for the "It's all good" saying I just got from Heart and Soul...but it's good enough to post for now. We're traveling, but I told you I still have stuff to share!

This is one of my new Happy Hoppers stamps, from the creator of House Mouse. They came from HMStamps, which is a great source for House Mouse, Penny Black, and more, at a discount! Definitely a fun place to browse and shop. How cute is this little guy? He's right where I wanna be...You'll see more of his friends in the coming weeks.

Image is colored with Prismacolors, and blended with OMS. I'm sorta proud of the shadows on this one.

I got to go to a stamp store today - you have no idea how rare an occasion that is, though I do my best to keep up with what's up online - still nothing like being able to touch stuff and talk shop with real people! I didn't get any stamps, just "stuff" - Pearl glimmer mist, Diamond Glaze (I think - something dimensional, anyway), a black Versafine ink pad, and some Judikins Microglaze. New stuff to try. Yeah!

  1. A visit to a real stamp store... how great is that! It's funny how we are so spoiled - you're keeping me humble, Dina! I hadn't heard of the Microglaze, but after reading up on it, It sounds amazing. Does just about everything (except clean the house!) Have fun & safe travels!

  2. Hi Dina! I don't mean to be crass, but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this card was "Oh yeah, I need to schedule my yearly exam!" What a funny angle for the stamp! Great card though -- love your coloring, as always. :)
