Think Spring -- xox

We've made it through Valentine's and the next stop should be Spring, Easter, St Patty's day? Well .... maybe I am looking a little too far ahead, but if wishful thinking will help get us there sooner I will think Spring!

 

This little cutie is from High Hopes Stamps new release called Taking a break and can be found here. I coloured her with copics and created the background by adding  clouds, grass and ground covering.

 

Some extra added touches like the little bow, eyelashes and tiny little flowers which by the way were handmade by a friend (thanks Denise)! The pleated ruffle was also hand made and is super easy to create.

Fold, staple and repeat to create a pleated effect.  I like using Tim Holtz tiny stapler as I find the pleats sit nice and its less bulky.  Although a regular stapler would also work.

Once you have the desired length you can trim the edge for a neater effect.

My tag was created using the old typewriter. Since the tag is so tiny I used low tac painters tape and adhered it to a bigger paper to type the sentiment.

 

Thanks for peeking in and be sure to play along in this weeks challenge on the High Hopes Blog.  If your short on stamps there is a digi offered so you can play along!

Enjoy the rest of the week!
