High Hopes Challenge #128

Hello Everyone.....

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

This weeks challenge is a fabulous

sketch by ...SIRPA

I love it when half the work is done for me!!!!

I am using the adorable

"RAINY DAY DUCKY"

and

"LADY BUG FLOWER BORDER"

by artist

Laurie Furnell

I embossed the image with black and painted them

with Tombow markers. I cut out the images and

used my nesties ovals for ducky. I used glossy

accents on the dots and water. The DP is from

My Minds Eye.

Be sure to stop by the

High Hopes Challenge #127

Good Morning everyone.....

It's time for the High Hopes Challenge and a
"Sneak Peek"
of our new
"Space Alien Set"

This fabulous set will be available for purchase
Wednesday at 12:00 midnight EST/ 5:00 GMT

Our challenge this week is
"Seeing Stars"

We would like you to add some stars
to your creations!!!


I created a step card with the Space Alien Set
I also added the
"Space Scape" and "Space Post Sign"


I embossed all the images with black and
painted them with Tombows. I used distress ink
for the space scape background. I cut out all the images
and glued them to the steps. I embossed the black
background with a star embossing folder. I attached
the space ship with a piece of heavy clear plastic.
I added some bakers twine for the bow.

This is a better view of the stair steps.

Be sure to stop by the High Hopes Blog and
check out the awesome cards the Diva's have
created to inspire you!!

I hope you will all come back on Wednesday
for our
