Good morning everyone;
I hope you are all having a great weekend so far. I finally had time to sit down last night, whew! it has been hectic. We had a fabulous class yesterday....all the ladies did an amazing job of their cards!! I will post them later in the week.
It's time now for this weeks High Hopes Challenge brought to you by my fellow High Hopes Diva...Jeanne. I can't believe I got to say that...I'm still on cloud nine, so please bear with me....LOL!! Jeanne has designed an awesome sketch for this weeks challenge.
This is one of my favorite HH images, "Birthday Buzzard".
I embossed the image with black and painted it with Tombows. I used some icicle
H20's around his neck and silver metallic gelly roll pen on the stones. Of course there are some stickles too! I just love this paper but I can't remember the company it is from, ooops sorry. I cut the circles with my nesties and added the doodles with my inkssentials white pen. This fab brown piece, believe it or not, is a piece of cork. It has a sticky back on it which was just perfect to attach it to the black. Cathy had given it to me ages ago, I will see if I can find out who makes it.
I also cut it with my nesties. I cut out the image and managed to cut off one of the strings to the balloons, so I added some wire in place of them. I printed the sentiment by hand. It is also layered with a piece of cork. I added a few black dew drops too. I am happy with the way it turned out.
So pop on over to the High Hopes blog, check out the other fabulous cards from the Diva's and join in the challenge. The prize for this weeks challenge is "She-Baa Sheep" and "Thank Ewe sentiment". Just link your card back to the High Hopes Blog to be eligible to win these fabulous HH stamps!!
I hope you all have a great Sunday and Thanks so much for stopping by....

Karen! I love this amazing card! I so love how you used your scalloped circles and added your own flare with dots and squiggly lines. That is so cool! The brown circle bg looks textured, almost like sand! And I love the teeny white bow on the smaller circle. Gorgeous coloring, as usual. And that large dp panel is really different and goes so well with the colors on the buzzard! Fabulous first Diva card from you!!
