HIGH HOPES CHALLENGE #111

Good morning everyone....

I had a nice little break from posting
on my blog last week but I shared a sweet
little card over on the Tombow USA Blog.
So I at least accomplished something...lol!!

It's time for the High Hopes Challenge

This weeks challenge is
Stars or Stripes.... or both!!!

I am using the adorable
Sammy and Patriot
from the original High Hopes catalogue
by artist Tony De Marco
I also used the 3 Star Corner

I embossed the image with black and painted
it with Tombow markers. I couldn't find any
stripes paper so I made my own. I used my
Perfect medium pen drawing a line with a ruler
and I added white embossing powder and
embossed them. I used my Crafts too star
embossing folder for the blue and a CB folder
for the white frame. The frame was cut with
my Nesties. I stamped and embossed the star
corners and painted them with Siam white H20's.
I added frosted lace stickles and white glitter
and cut them out. I added some flat backed
pearls. I wanted the pearls to be bright white
so I painted some regular pearls with Ranger
white enamel.

Be sure to stop by the
High Hopes Blog
as the Diva's have some fabulous
creations to share with you today!!!

I hope you will have time to play along with us
this challenge and don't forget...
You must use a High Hopes image

I used one of the gorgeous new bears
Sitting Buddy with Balloon
by artist Laurie Furnell
and Happy Bear-day sentiment.
