It's Crissy's turn for the High Hopes Challenge this week...and she wants to see holiday cards made with nontraditional colors!! There is a prize to be won this week too!.......Holly the Winter Fairy and the matching sentiment Fairy Merry Christmas. Be sure to go to the blog to join in and see all the Diva's Fabulous creations!
On this card I used one of High Hopes New Release stamps, "Festive Wreath". The sentiment is from HOTP.
The image is colored with prismacolor pencils and h20's. I used shimmer chalk around the wreath and inside a bit.
The poinsettias and bow are popped up on foamy's...as is the whole large base. I used Lumiere Pearl white for the dots on the beads and a silver stardust pen to line the bow.
Blue metallic cs is used for the blue layers...I've had this paper for ages...I'm really not sure why I hoard such lovely paper....and I'm trying to control that nasty habit....lol.
Ink - versafine black, pretty in pink
Paper - GP white, dcwv metallic
Accessories - cord, snowflake cb folder, silver rhinestone stickers.
Check out the Nov. Project of the Month Special!!!...
You can now see the fabulous samples on the High Hopes blog
Thanks for looking Everyone.....Have a Great Day!!!
