I have some exciting news!
One of my dearest friends has been sweet to host my illustrations on her site. Hambo Stamps !
Not only that but the sales of my new digital images will benefit Operation Write Home.
As you know from reading my blog my son is now in the Army.
And I can't tell you enough how important it was for him, as well as for us, to receive a card or letter.
I'm nervous and excited at the same time about this premier.
I've been having a blast playing with my new illustration style and I am so happy to be able to share it with you. You already got a glimpse of 2 of my new gals, Trena and Bella, but now you get a chance to see all of them!
To see samples of all the new images please go to the Hambo Hoedown.
I hope you enjoy using them on your cards as much as I've enjoyed drawing them.
Meet Serena.
She is printed out on Neenah Classic Crest White Super Smooth paper. I then spray the image with Krylon Workable Fixatif. This makes sure that the ink on the paper, from your printer, will not smear when you color in the image. I have tried other sprays but found that, for me, this one works the best.
Copic Colors - E50, E51, Y02, Y15, Y11, YR23, W00, W1, W3, YG03, YG63, YG91, 0, B02, BG05, RV14, RV21, R17
You can purchase all the new digital stamps at Hambo's "New Arrivals"
Please remember, all digital images are copyrighted Asela Hopkins for Hambo Stamps.
You can use them for your own personal use and to create cards. Handmade, not mass produced.
I think this clears up Copy Right questions. (Thanks Maurie J Manning!)
Love the new line--reaLLYliking the ballerina, too! I've sent in over 200 cards to OWH so far---great organization, especially when one of your own children may benefit! Happy hopping!

I can't wait to use Trena to make a card! I send out cards to the troops to a different group and sent 1800 cards between myself and my scrapbook/cardmaking group. I love your designs and good luck! I hope it brings in a bunch of money for OWH.

Terrific images. They're a great addition to Hambo's line. Congrats too on your son's graduation. Always nice to know another Army mom. I have one in the Army who is now an Iraq vet (infantry) and one in the Nat'l Guard (Combat Engineer) who will get his turn soon. Feel free to friend me on Facebook if you need an Army mom for support.
