High Hopes at One Crazy Stamper

Good Morning everyone....

High Hopes is being featured for the month of February

over at One Crazy Stamper and we are also the sponsor 

this  month for their challenge!!

I created a couple of cards for their challenge!!

On my first card I am using our new release images....

Bait Shop, Fishing Fun and Fishing Friends

with the sentiment Dropping you a line!

I created a Stair Step card and colored all the images with

Tombow markers. To create the illusion of the fish jumping

 out of the water I stamped Fishing Fun and Fishing Friends 

onto water color paper and then again on acetate. I cut out

 the colored images and adhered them to the acetate with

micro dots. Once all the images were attached I cut out

around the acetate leaving about 1/2 inch all around. I

made the waves with a EK Success punch and glued 

to the steps leaving the top of the wave open to slide

the finished images in behind the waves. I used a grass

die for the grass in front of the bait shop.

For my second card I am using......

Herbie, Grass Patch and the Signpost

I created the background using a large scalloped oval and

weathered wood distress ink with a foam pad. I stamped 

Herbie and masked him then stamped the grass patch 

over him. I embossed the images with black and painted them 

with Tombows. The barn board paper is from Happy Harvest

paper pad from Doodlebug. For the inside of the card I used the 

Signpost with a Happy Birthday sentiment.

Have a fabulous day and 

Thanks so much for stopping by......
