High Hopes Challenge #116

Good Morning everyone....

It's time for the High Hopes Challenge

This weeks challenge is brought to us by
Niki
and she has chosen

"Autumn Colors"

The gorgeous image I am using for my
card is
"Aunt Marge's Garden"

I just love images that fill the whole card!!!

I embossed the images with black and painted
it with Tombows. I cut out and layered the
daisies, part of the bow tail, sunflowers,
leaves and shovel handle. I used my MS punch for
the border. I added the white dots to the
border with Ranger white enamel accents.

Here is a close up for you to see
the dimension on my card.

High Hopes Tutorial week

Hello everyone....

It's tutorial week over at the High Hopes Blog!!

The fabulous ANNA is sharing with us
how to create.....

"FAUX STITCHING"

Now this is one you are not going to want to miss!!!

I have been wanting to ink up this little dragon for a
while now and have finally gotten to it,
this guy just cracks me up...

"Dragon's Finger"

It comes in a 4 piece set with the 2 sentiments,
the hilarious little dragon and a flame...which
I totally forgot to add...darn!!
Oh well... I am sure you get the drift of it...lol!!

It fits perfectly in this tri-fold card.

I used my nesties to cut the ovals and hand cut the
corners adding the dots with my white ink pen. I made the
brad with my i-top tool.


I embossed the dragon with black and painted
it with Tombows. The DP paper is from Magenta.
I also used my white ink pen for the dots around
the scallops.

I hope you like it!!

Be sure to check out the High Hopes Blog
for this weeks tutorial and there is still time
to play the challenge....

back to some serious blogging!!!

It's time for the High Hopes Challenge
This weeks challenge is brought to you
by me and I say.....

"ANYTHING GOES"
...but you must use a High Hopes image!

For my card I have used
"Hello Posey Button Signage"
by artist
Laurie Furnell


I embossed the image with black and painted it
with Tombows. I used my nestie ovals for the frame.
The DP is from Basic Grey Kraft pad.

If you notice inserted into the bow I have
made a stick pin. I stamped the image....
"DH Double Daisy" onto shrink film with Stazon
jet black ink. Colored it and shrunk it.
