High Hopes Challenge #2 is up on the High Hopes Blog. This week we have a Fun challenge by Jeanne to use a combination of blue, brown, green and any neutral. Be sure to check out High Hopes Blog to see the Fabulous cards the other Divas have created...and....Join in the Fun!!
The fabulous stamps I used on this card are High Hopes..."Max the Magnificent" and the sentiment "Magic Happens" ...I also used the swirl stamp from SU's Priceless set
I colored the images with prismacolor pencils (oms) and deepened the shading with Twinkling h20's. Acrylic white paint, diamond glaze and stickles were used for the details.
To create the background...I mask the image and used a soft brush to add barely banana ink to the top area and another brush to add bashful blue to the bottom area.
The bunny in the hat and the front right bunny are popped up with foam dimensionals.
The sentiment is embossed with black detail embossing pdr.
Papers - GP white, wild asparagus, paper studio
Accessories - flower, lace, stickles, diamond glaze, foam dimensionals, embossing pdr, nestabilities, stitching
Yesterday we celebrated my Mother's 90 birthday! ...a little early (it is actually Nov 20) but this was a time in which all her children could get together...which rarely happens. It was Wonderful!!! She looked wonderful!!...and it was so nice to see everyone!
Have a Great Day!!,,,,Thanks for looking!! and your Wonderful comments!!
