Hello stamping friends!!
Edited: This card made the Top 3 at Crafty Friends Challenges and Artistic Inspirations!!
Oh my gosh, I'm so tired! Why do I even attempt to go on vacation?! It's always more work when I get home! LOL
Today is the new High Hopes Challenge: Water Water Everywhere
High Hopes has a ton of water-related images that would work great for this challenge. As long as it has something to do with water, it will work: Beach, Fishing, Water Skiing, Ocean animals, Noah's Arc, raining, heck even a Bird Bath will do!!
But remember it MUST be a High Hopes stamp to enter the challenge.
One random participant will win 1 Free High Hopes Stamp.
Here is my card...
I made this for a friend for a house-warming card (she just moved to the beach). Hopefully she received this card by the time she sees it posted on facebook! :-)
This is Surf Scene Dudley from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. The papers are Perfect Summer from Echo Park along with Palm Tree Die from Whimsy Stamps, Cloud Die from CC Designs, Christmas Tags DooHickey from Magnolia, Frantage (on the sand), and Stickles
The sketch is from Sketch Saturday this week (I moved the middle piece down some like Cathy did on her DT card).
The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
Now it's your turn! The challenge runs through 7pm EST Monday, July 15th.
This is also for the following challenges:
Artistic Inspirations: Bling (lots of stickles and glitter card stock used on the clouds; can't see it well in the pictures)
Carftin Desert Divas: Summer
Love to Scrap: Anything Goes
Crafty Friends Challenge: Photo Inspiration
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
