HIGH HOPES CHALLENGE #57







Happy Sunday everyone

We had a nice little holiday and now it's time to get back into our routine with our High Hopes Challenge. This weeks challenge is brought to us by the lovely Nikki and as she does so brilliantly, has created a wonderful sketch for us to follow. Don't you love it when half the work is done for us...Thanks Nikki!!



The adorable image I have used on my card is "Father Time and Baby New Year".


I embossed the image with black and painted it with Tombows. I used Gelly Roll silver metallic on the clock and scythe. I added flocking to his beard and hair. I cut the circles with my nesties and embossed them with a CB folder. The flower was punched with my EK Success Retro Flower punches. The burgandy paper is from Core'dinations and I used my sanding block to give it the distressed look. The DP is a 2 sided paper by Magenta Style.

I hope you will have time to play along with us this week and be sure to stop by the High Hopes Blog to see all the fabulous cards the Diva's have created to inspire you.

Have a wonderful day and Thanks so much for stopping by..
