Kick Back

                               Happy Thursday High Hopes Fans! 

I don't know about anyone else but I do love a nap in the sun from time to time. I would like to introduce you to Snoozin' Sam from High Hopes Stamps. I think this card would be perfect for a birthday, retirement or Father's Day card. 


I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and fussy cut him leaving a thin white line. His shirt is paper pieced and the glass in his glasses has Glossy Accents on them. The background was made by stamping around a cloud die with Ocean ink, cutting a picket fence die and a spring grass die. A polaroid die in the background breaks up the striped paper and some gumdrops in the corner finish it off.
