Hambo Hoedown

So I missed the deadline to post my challenge card for the first week of the Hambo Hoedown but not this week. This week I'm all ready. Let's start with the card for last week's challenge though since I did make one. The challenge was to make a football themed card using the Football Girl digi. Since my hubbie is a die-hard Packer fan it was easy to pick the colors for my card. :)

Now for this week's challenge you are to make a card using any Hambo image and a heart. If you participated last week you get the free EyeMonster image to use but otherwise just use any Hambo image. I went with the Frog Prince image for my card and a computer generated sentiment. The heart is cut out from chipboard and inked with Fired Brick Distress Ink. The heart and frog are mounted with pop dots for some dimension. I also added some glitter to the frog's crown and fur trimmed cape.

 Remember that you can click on the images to make them bigger. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday. Happy Stamping!

How about Hambo

Today's card uses a digital image from Hambo stamps. It's the Wee Henry Hockey image plus one of the  two sentiments that are included. The image is colored with Copics and mounted with pop dots. Since I'm planning to give this to my nephew I went with twine and a button instead of ribbon and a bow.

I hope you're having a great day. Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Stamping!

Hambo Birthday Card

Yesterday was my brother's birthday and these digi images from Hambo were perfect for his card!

Lovin' Hambo

Recently I joined the Hambo group in Taylor's ATC swap but since I didn't own any Hambo stamps I had to place an order. They have so many cute stamps it was really hard to not get too crazy with my order. I fell in love with the soda fountain piggies and used them for my ATC.

I stamped the piggies on gorgia pacific white cardstock using palette noir black ink and then colored them using my copic markers. I added scribbles 3D iridescent white mist paint to the soda and crystal stickles to Miss Piggy's bow. Then I cut the image out and mounted it on printed paper from one of my provo craft superslabs. For the blue layer I used white cardstock and inked it with the same blue copic that I used to color the heart outline on the piggies then matted the whole thing onto black. To finish it I added some polka dot ribbon.

I made one extra ATC to use on a card since I also ordered the "Happy Hamiversary" sentiment to go with the piggies and wanted to use it. This was my first time making ATC's and I was surprised at how much fun they are to make. I'll be watching for more swaps to join. Thanks for stopping.
