This little 6×6 canvas is going to sit on Anya’s shelf or hang on her wall in her bedroom.  Doesn’t it make you smile! lol  I love this little Ally Rose from High Hopes and perched on the pink tractor ?!  ADORABLE! (ETA – the tractor is also from High Hopes,  Tab at 7KidsCollegeFund said she will order the tractor on her next HH order,  so keep checking back for it from my High Hopes link) THX!

Ally Rose and the Tractor are stamped with Memento Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Doily Lace border punch by Martha Stewart

Bazzill Card-stock – 6×6 canvas (the company is out of business) – My Minds Eye Quite Contrary pattern paper

Background is added with the ink blending tool and Summer Sky Memento ink pad

I scuffed up the edges of the paper with the Tim Holtz Distresser tool…

The challenge at High Hopes Challenge Blog this week is a Baby card or card for a young child….so I’m linking this up to their challenge since Anya just turned five…I think that is still young! lol

Smile…so glad it’s Spring!

Lane, Grandson #2 was born on April 1st but no foolin’ here, he’s the best! He loves all things boy for sure! He liked his card too, that always makes me smile. I did have fun coloring this duo…a new image, Sir Dustin from High Hopes by Dustin Pike.

He is inked and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink…colored with Copic Sketch Markers…circles cut with a coluzzle (are any of you wishin’ for larger nestabilities dies?)…swirls from one of those 12×12 sheets of stamps from Fancy Pants.  oh nightmare!  Do any of you have those stamps?  They are SO HARD to get off the sheet!!! I haven’t torn any yet but it sure discourages one from using them when it takes so long to get them off! Put on your party hat is from Impress Rubber Stamps and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Scored the card with the Martha Stewart Score board and I used a Printworks Birthday Sentiment on the inside. Card-stock is Stampin Up real red and swirls are stamped with SU real red ink.
