A new Stamp Set and a new Illustrator

Good Morning! Are you ready to hop some more??? Today's featured set is called "Heartfelt Friends" and it is illustrated by a brand new stamp artist. I'm pretty sure you'll agree with me that her images are fun and very easy to work with!

This set includes 6 images that will make you smile just looking at them. I can't decide on a favorite and I've been trying for a while now.

This first card uses a red Bazzill cardstock base, Imaginisce paper from the Loves Me line, some Bazzill Bling embossed with a cuttlebug folder, my cute hippo image colored with prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits and then highlighted with an Inkssentials white pen and the heart painted with Royal Red Shimmerz. I airbrushed the background of the image with my Copic airbrush system. Then I added the glitter heart by Scrapworks and Dew Drops :)

This second card is a gatefold card. I hadn't made one for a while, so decided to with this fun frog! Again Bazzill card base. The patterned paper is from Cloud9Design. I used my nesties to cut the image and the matting. I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits and painted it with key lime and royal red Shimmerz......I think I'm starting to use Shimmerz as often as I use Dew Drops! I tied the gatefold card with celery grosgrain ribbon. Oh, the Be Mine stamp is not in this set, it's from one of the Michaels $1 sets.

This third card, I made for the SCS Sketch Challenge. I used a Bazzill cardstock base and "Love is in the Air" patterned paper by Imaginisce. I stamped the image in Versafine Onyx Black and colored it with prismacolor pencils and mineral spirits. Then I painted the flamingos with Bubblegum Shimmerz (you can see the sparkle in the closeup picture). I inked around the image and did some doodling and then matted in with Bazzill. Then I added the sparkle hearts by Scrapworks.

See the Shimmerz??? :)
