Sunday means it's time to go to church...that AND it's time for another High Hopes Challenge!! This week is hosted by the UBBER talented super Diva Crissy Armstrong (the artist behind the High Hopes images)!!! Crissy's challenge is called "Lots and Lots of Polka Dots". And we have a MASSIVE amount of polka dots on our cards! Make sure to check out the rest of the DT cards for awesome inspiration (links are in my sidebar).
We also have to say goodbye to our past 2 Guests Tab and Karen; you guys are soooo talented and we will miss you. But we get to welcome our 2 new Guests who will be with us for the next 3 months...
Sirpah Hukka aka Sirpaliina
Danielle Kennedy aka Wild Dragonfly Designs
Make sure to give them a warm welcome!!! Now onto my challenge card...
I used Ladybug Stroll from the last release embossed in black and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os and cut out with Nestabilities.
The card base is 5 1/2" square SU Basic Black. The Designer Papers are SU Sweet Slumber and Parisian Breeze (retired). I used some PTI Black Polka Dot Ribbon, a EZ Success Large Retro Flower Punch, some primas, a SU Crystal Brad, and a Daisy Charm from Hobby House.
I carried the layout on the inside...
On the inside of the cover, I added some punched circles...
Now it's your turn. If you would like to be entered into the chance to win the stamps on Crissy's card, make a card using a High Hopes image, add lots of polka dots, and link it in the comment section of the challenge post!
If you upload your card to SCS, use keyword HHC38.
By the time this posts, we should be waking up in our hotel room in Daytona Beach after a night of watching fireworks and the Coke Zero 400 race!! We are heading home today so I hope to be able to post some pictures of our trip! I am also hoping to finish the post for the Tutorial on how to make "The Perfect Gift Bag/Box" originally posted here and here.
Oh, make sure to check the High Hopes Diva's Blogs later this week...there is a rumor that we may have something "new" to share *wink, wink* ;-)
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
