I embossed the images with black and
painted them with Tombows. I cut out the
balloons and added some bakers twine. I also made
the bow with the twine. I used my oval nesties for
the frame. I also added some glitter around
the edges of the sentiment. The DP is from
My minds eye paper pad.

High Hopes Challenge #113

Good morning everyone....

It's time for the High Hopes Challenge!!!

This weeks challenge is

"Fun in the Sun"


I created a gate fold card with the adorable images...

"Andy and Patch Block"
and
"Summer Sunshine"

I embossed the images with black and painted
them with Tombow markers. I used icicle H20's for the
clouds and highlighted them with a grey Tombow.
The black card is corrugated card stock. I added
some ribbon, a button and some flat backed pearls.

Tombow..."Show and Tell"

Good morning everyone....

I have a little project to share with you and for
"Tombow USA Show and Tell"
that's going on over at
Tombow USA Facebook

Be sure to check it out and maybe you would like to play along!!!

My "Show and Tell" project is an address book
that I covered. Now... I know it's a little busy but
I was hoping for the effect that the image blended
into the fabric...not sure if I have achieved that....lol!!

To start I took out the binding and covered the
front and back of the covers with black swiss dot
card stock using Tombow Power Bond to adhere it.
On the inside of the covers I used Tombow Tape
Runner permanent adhesive to adhere the
ribbons and Tombow Mono Aqua liquid glue
to adhere the finishing pieces of card stock inside.
I then made 2 quilted pieces with this
fabulous Mary Engelbreit fabric and adhered
them to the covers with Tombow Power Bond.

I stamped and embossed the image....
"Country Garden" from High Hopes Stamps
and painted it with Tombow markers.

I used Tombow Mono Aqua liquid glue to
adhere the image to black card stock and cut
around the image leaving a tiny edge of black.I used
Tombow Foam tabs to pop-up the image on
the fabric. I adhered the metal tag to the fabric
with Tombow Power Tabs as well as the bow.
I put the binding back in and added the ribbons.

I hope you like it!!!

Have a fabulous day
and
Thanks for stopping by...

Dots and Stripes paper pack.
