A pizza my heart....

Hello everyone, & happy Thursday!! I have another card using one of the latest releases from High Hopes!


Meet Luigi!! Isn't he the cutest little pizza chef you've ever seen?? I used my Prisma pencils & gamsol to color him in, highlighting some areas with my Twinkling H2O's. I really wanted to try something different with my layout. I absolutely LOVE the way some use a whole bunch of papers on their cards....without matting (which is something I always seem to do)....& they always look so well put together. My very favorite card artist who does this is my friend Inge. I met this very talented stamper a few years ago when she started with High Hopes, & have admired her work ever since. Her coloring is FANTASTIC, & the way she puts papers together....well, she is the master! Whenever I try to do that, it looks like a mess. So....while blurfing this morning...I came across the Whiff of Joy sketch challenge from yesterday. Perfect!! This will help me put papers together, without it looking like a kindergartner did it!! I used Always Artichoke for the base, Mellow Moss & a whole bunch of papers from the Basic Grey Wassail pad. They aren't just for Christmas, ya know!! I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder on a couple of layers....the flowers are all punches or Primas...& I of course used my Martha Stewart branch punch. I'm definitely getting my money's worth from that punch!





I couldn't get a GREAT pic of the inside, but I really wanted to share the sentiment with you, You have a pizza my heart, also from this last release. I used the Martha heart lace border punch, along with Riding Hood Red (yes, I know my heart looks really bad....it's that red thing with my camera....grrrrr), Mellow Moss & a scrap of Wassail.



Thanks so much for stopping by....I am now off to run some errands on this cold but sunny day. I've had a weird week & am very much behind on just about everything!

***edited to add......I was just looking at my picture really closely....& realized Luigi's pants & oven mitts look nowhere NEAR the actual color I colored them!! They are more green than brown.....I colored them specifically to match the Artichoke....sigh....my camera is really playing games with me (& can you tell I have a bit of OCD when it comes to things matching on my cards? LOL!!)
