Hello Friends, Happy Friday to you 🙂 It’s always great when the weekend rolls around. I had some snippets of time this week to work on two cards using Concord & 9th adorable stamp set called, “Hugs” .Love all the possibilities that you can stamp with this set. It’s a love at first sight for sure.
My mind has been yearning to color and I was grateful for the time to sit and do that. I drew some seeds with a gel pen and added some gossy accents on the seeds and the splashes.
The “Bear” sign that the bear is holding was wiped off after I stamped it. I used a blade to cut a slit around the bears hand to insert the lime wedge.
Since I always seems to do things backwards… I decided to add a stencil once my card was finished…. good thing adding the artistic touch of a stencil can be added at any stage of the card making process.
Stamping the bear “as is” was a must do. Love this guy and all that he represents.
Simon Says Stamp word die cuts are always fun to add to my cards. I taped the letters on the card stock after die cutting, then I colored the images and popped it on my card base.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are safe from all this crazy weather. Thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

Fenomenal cards! So pretty! The first one is so funny! Love how you made the sentiment on the second. Thank you for sharing!
Kathy these are both awesome, but I totally love the first one, those lines look good enough to eat…yes I’m weird and like eating limes lol
Have a great weekend and I hope the weather doesn’t get too crazy for you
Pfft stupid phone..limes not lines !!
lol thanks. I like drinking limes but, don’t like to eat them. Glad mine looks good enough to eat 🙂 Have a good weekend
What fantabulous cards!!! LOVE the coloring on them and that bear is adorable! TFS!
OMGoodness Kathy, love the sentiment on the 1st one. So funny! As always, your work is fantastic!
Kathy, you totally ROCKED this stamp set, love your super creative cards, WOW!!!!
Loving that lime bear! Does he come with Margarita Mix? Haha! Great cards!
BEARY CUTE cards Kathy!!!
AWESOME colouring, as always 🙂
I love additional inspiration for a stamp set. That is in large part what makes me decide if the stamp set is worth my dollars is how versatile it might be. Love how you did the die cutting for the sentiment — would never have thought of that. Did you keep the letters in the card by scotch taping the letters onto the back of the front to keep them in place?
I’m so glad you are back and that you got some time to color. these cards are delightful! It does my heart good to see your cards again. Hugs to you also! , treen

We’ve jumped right into summer over here. DH is doing great, something to be grateful for.

Hi Kathy, I love the shadow of the bear – it really adds dimension to the card! What great idea!
Great to see you back colouring again Kathy, missed your cards and you! These cards are adorable, I love the way you change your stamps by cutting bits off and putting other bits in, so creative. I am also pleased to hear that it’s not just me that does things backwards . That stencil is very pretty and the perfect finishing touch
