Friendly Whipper Snapper

I picked up my very first Whipper Snapper set, Friendly Expressions, at my LSS before heading home to be with my mom and dad. It definitely won't be my last Whipper Snapper set though! I just love the sets illustrated by Anna Wight...it's a slippery slope! LOL!

It's been a couple of weeks since I've played with Taylor's Cupcake Challenge, TECC65, so I made it a priority this weekend. I stamped the flower image with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White and coloured it with copics. I stamped the flowers a second time and popped them for some dimension. I used my long rectangle Nestabilities to cut out the image and the coordinating scallop one to cut out the eggplant mat. I wanted to use my new My Mind's Eye Penny Lane paper because the colours are soooooooo delish. But I have to tell you, I was humming the Beetles song then entire time I was making the card...and it just popped back into my head now that I'm typing this post. :)

The bottom layer is orchid opulence...gag...but it works so well with the Penny Lane paper, then I stitched on the patterned paper. I used my scallop border punch on another piece of orchid opulence then tied on some SU eggplant grosgrain ribbon. I finished off the scallop border with some Tiny Twinkles...they add the perfect amount of sparkle! 

My dad's still recovering nicely in the hospital and I just wanted to take a second to thank everyone for your well wishes. I've told him that my stamping friends are wishing him the best. But, yesterday I found out the hospital has public wireless internet...yippeee...so yes, now I'm here with my pink laptop, typing this post {big grin!}. And, I've been finding funny videos on YouTube to show him too, so the computer is keeping everyone entertained.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!
