Happy Hugs!

 Hi friends!

What start with an H and wraps around you with big squishies?

Happy Hugs!

 Today's class cards were taught by the absolutely lovely Laura Bassen ~
one of my biggest card stars ♥

Her sense of humor and use of color and whimsy just make me smile!

This is my duo of cards based on her class ~
and yes,

we fancy!

We dipped in gold! 

 

Okay, I would just like to state

~ for the record ~

this card is really pretty in real life!

I know, I know ...

it looks like I found it under my couch after it's been there for a month!

Let me 'splain!

I did a rustic gold dipping ... I wasn't going for perfect lettering

or lines and when I did my dipped gold, it looked a little ......... off. 

So I took the letter S and peeled the gold foil up a little bit

and loved how it looked a little weathered

so I repeated that for the rest of the letters.

I promise it looks super  ~

it just photographed a little more on the funky side!
.

 For this card, I used the only letter die cuts I own - Spellbinders Grand Shapeabilities.

I carried the same color palette through to both cards.

And there's a 3rd card!

I will probably post that at a later time :)

 And I'm definitely sending happiness your way!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
