Hang in There Card by Larissa Heskett

Hang in There!

Do you know someone who could use a little encouragement? This card by Larissa is sure to do the trick. This cute kitty on the branch from our Newton Hangs Out Stamp Set would make anyone smile! For her card today, Larissa colored the cute kitty with copic markers, giving him a cool speckled texture on the fur! She then cut the image out using the coordinating Newton Hangs Out Die Set. She added him onto a square of white cardstock over a distress inked blue sky. She aded the sentiment "hang in there" stamped along the tree trunk and added some little hearts too! The square scalloped frame was cut out of teal cardstock using our Frames Squared Die Set.

For the amazing background, Larissa used our Gingham Stencil. She stenciled it once in all over in teal. Then she moved it over so the striped sections lined up and stenciled it again in yellow! Such a fun technique!

Here is a close up so you can see her gorgeous coloring and stenciling details:

Thank you, Larissa, for the beautiful inspiration today! To say hello to Larissa and see more of her creations, visit her over at her blog, Larissa Heskett Designs.
