HIGH HOPES CHALLENGE #37

Good morning everyone;
Hope you are all having a great weekend. The weather here has been wonderful, the sun is shining, flowers are in full bloom, who could ask for more!!

Well it's time again for the High Hopes Challenge. The challenge this week is brought to you by the lovely Lacey and she has chosen "Stars or Stripes".
I went a little out of the box with my card, as I decided I would use some tiger stripes. A stripe is a stripe...right!! These adorable images are "Timothy Tiger" and "Palm Tree".



I embossed the images with black and painted them with Tombows. The white highlights have been done with my Inkssentials pen. I used some white flocking on his toes, chest and chin. I used glossy accents on his nose. The black oval was done with a cuttlebug folder. I wrapped and curled some black wire around the bow knot and added a couple of stars. The designer paper is from Darcie's. I also added some Stickles.

I hope you like it and be sure to stop by the other Diva's blogs and have a gander at their amazing creations. I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week, there are some fab High Hopes stamps up for grabs.

This is my last week as Guest Design Diva for High Hopes. What an amazing experience it has been for me, to hang out with the Divine High Hopes Diva's and design with HH's awesome stamps..."Wow"...let me tell you....it was sooo much fun!! I had a blast...Thanks ladies!!

Have a great Sunday,
Thanks so much for stopping by...
