Quite a few years ago Heffy Doodle did a Kickstarter campaign and I backed them, this character was from the stamp set I received as a thank you and I coloured him straight away but it took years for him to make it onto a card. I was cleaning my craftroom and I came across this already completed background and I thought I have the perfect image for that and bish bash bosh another one is done. Plus two things are out of the stuffed to the gills room lol.
Todays is my friends birthday and I know the card has reached her so I can show it on here. I saw a similar card on instagram and I didn't have the die so I made the chocolate squares on my cricut and cut them out, each one is three layers thick to give the illusion of real chocolate. The card stock is not as dark as my camera has made it look and in real life its more milk than dark chocolate.
The funny story attached to this card was that after I made it and showed a friend during a call and she said, why hadn't I used my die and I said I didn't have one and she said yes you do so I went to look (to prove her wrong of course lol) and she was right lol.
I had all the stuff on my desk after making the balloon boy card so I thought why not make a girl version. The only change was the colours and the clouds. It came together really quickly but the boy version is my favourite lol.

It’s that sketch again and not only have I used that sketch again but I started another trend and ended up making 7 more using this stamp. I think I can say I have had my money’s worth out of it already.
I won’t show all the cards at the same time as I don’t want the recipients seeing them ahead of their birthdays so you will have to wait to see my favourite colour combo
As soon as I saw this set from Heffy Doodle I knew I needed/wanted it. Now of course when I saw it is was a free set and not available for purchase separately, I stalked the blog for a release date and once I saw it I checked with my local craft store and as she said she was ordering it I collected it from her. I do like to purchase locally whenever possible as I love this store and want to support them going forward. Of course this wasn't the only thing I purchased whilst I was in there, its a very tempting store lol.
Of course the macarons needed to be rainbow colours and at the time I created this I was on a very high rainbow kick lol.
