The Challenge this week at High Hopes Blog is Female Birthday. The challenges are now bi weekly and there is still 1 week left of this one. Every 2nd week one of the High Hopes designers also posts a Fabulous tutorial....be sure to check it out.
Who wouldn't want a flower from this Happy little High Hopes fella? His name is Leapin' Larry. He was created by artist Laurie Furnell
The sketch I've used for this card is from the Basic Grey Challenge 38. The papers I've used are BG's "Green at Heart" Collection
I've colored this image using copics for base, prismacolor pencils, and h20's to deepen the shade and give it a little sparkle.
The glittered flower is attached with foam pop ups. I cut the frog out and glued him onto the spellbinders oval so I could tilt him a little. The sentiment is from one of my Stampin Up sets...(sorry can't remember which one)
Ink - momento black, bashful blue, creamy caramel, close to cocoa. Paper - GP, treasures cs, basic grey "Green at heart". Accessories - lace, binders cord, ribbon, button, dew drops, stitching, stitckles, glitter.
We are still living in a deep freeze. An early spring is not in the forecast for us this year. It is nice to see more daylight hrs though. That in itself makes a person feel pretty dang good!!
Thanks for visiting!!..and for your lovely comments!!
