Hedgehopper Sympathy Card

Hello Again! I hope you are having a great weekend with some time to stamp or craft. I wanted to make a special card for a teenage boy who had a cousin die tragically. I am hoping that this hedgehopper might bring a grin for a second.

I wanted a dark sky where the angels are making cookies (that's what my mom says when the clouds are orange).



I added a lightening blot to make the plane more like a fighter plane.
I needed some tree tops to prove that he is actually flying. This tree stamp was perfect.

I used my NEW FAVORITE CLOUD PUNCH. I can't believe that this wasn't invented sooner. See the links below so you know where I purchased mine. The sentiment is from SRM Stickers and you can find that here.

This is the first time I was able to use my Copic compressor to airbrush the background. I thought it wasn't working but, I just panicked! Finally I have the machine tamed! LOVE IT :)

That's it for now. Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy

This is such a thoughtful card - the detail is incredible & the tweaking of the plane a super personalized idea. The cloud punch is amazing & this just shows what can be done with such a hard bit of life.

This stamp is so versatile, I have already used it for a valentines card and a birthday card but never thought of it for a sympathy card
