Heffy Doodle Blog Hop

10 Feb

Good morning and Happy Saturday!  I’m so excited to be joining the hop to celebrate the third release of Heffy Doodle Stamps!  After talking online for over a year or so I finally had the opportunity to meet Lesley Oman, the owner of Heffy Doodle, at Creativation a few weeks ago and oh my goodness, I adore her! 🙂 She’s a wonderfully sweet lady and I was thrilled to be asked to help her show off her fabulous new release!  Here’s what I created using Hello Squeakheart!

Hope You Feel Cheddar Soon by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Heffy Doodle Stamps

I’ve been trying to practice my colored pencil coloring and I couldn’t resist coloring that hunk of cheese a few nights ago for the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

And that kinda just set me up for the rest of my card!  I stamped the cheese and mouse on grey cardstock with white pigment ink and then colored it with prismacolor pencils.  I started by adding a layer of white colored pencil to the image and then went over it with the various colors.  Adding white underneath helps the colors to pop on darker cardstock!  I fussy cut my mouse and set him aside while I worked on the rest of the card!

Hope You Feel Cheddar Soon by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Heffy Doodle Stamps

Next I stamped the sentiment from Hello Squeakheart onto bright yellow cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with black detail embossing powder. I adhered the sentiment and my mouse to the card with foam mounting tape.  Finally I finished the card with a few nuvo crystal drops in dandelion!  Now I know cheddar cheese doesn’t typically have holes in it but shh…don’t tell anyone! 😉

If this is the first time you’re learning about Heffy Doodle stamps I definitely recommend heading over to check out her new release (and her first two releases).  She’s got a bunch of adorable critters, cute sentiments, and great dies!

A random winner will be selected for a £25 gift certificate + free shipping to the Heffy Doodle store. To be eligible, leave comments across the entire blog hop by 11:59 PM PST on 2/15/2018.

    Another superb card and so different. I just love the little mouse and the sentiment is just so right. To mount it on black card just shows off the design to perfection and I would be so chuffed to receive this amazing card. The colouring is great. Thank you for another great idea

    Loving your talent for coloring. This set is too cute…..especially since I work at a Vermont handmade, artisan cheese company who’s history dates back to 1892. Just love cheesy puns.
