HIGH HOPES CHALLENGE #60










Good morning everyone

We had such a fun week with the High Hopes New Release and by the wonderful comments you all have left, you had fun admiring Dustin's awesome images too.

It's time for another High Hopes Challenge and this weeks host is our lovely guest Diva Alex and she has chosen "Create a Scene....using at least 3 images" .

I have combined some older images and a new image for my card today.
The images are..... "Cheeky Sean" ...." Branch" and "Single Banana". The sentiment is "Ladder of Success".




I embossed the images with black and painted them with Tombows. I stamped and embossed the leaves on the branch twice and cut them out and layered them. I added glossy accents to his teeth and some stickles to the leaves and bananas. I cut out the center of the card front and suspended Sean from the tree branch. I embossed the green frame with a CB folder and added some flat backed pearls. For the inside of the card I used Ranger alcohol inks to make the background and framed it the same as the front. Sean swings through the center of the card when it opens.

Be sure to stop by the High Hopes Blog as the Diva's have some fabulous cards to share with you and the blog hop candy winners are being announced today too!!

All High Hopes stamps including the new release are available for purchase at The Rubber Room and online store.

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