{8.9.2012} Hip Hop with Phyllis Harris

new SWEET stamps

The design team is Hip Hopping with some brand new Phyllis Harris stamps.  For all the deets and the beginning of the hop, make sure you head over to the Unity blog.

I am using the super sweet ‘wishing we’re forever friends’ set.  Any thing with a puppy just pulls at my heart strings.  How adorable is this little guy with his best friend.  I wanted the look of a silhouette against a night sky.  To acheive it, I stamped the image in a dark blue and then shaded with a Copic marker.  Hopefully, it gives it the feeling of night.

I stitched the panel to the card and popped up the sentiment.  I really love the monochromatic grays with a little bit of blue.

Almost every year we take a backpacking trip to the Black River.  The last 6 years or so, I have been taking my sweet little Ella dog with me.  Every night we sit around a campfire and watch the stars.  This little set reminds me of that time with my forever friend.

Want a peek at all the new sets???

That is all from me, I love this part!
I get to send you on to the fabulously talented Lisa H. next!!!!
