Going green...and Orange

Welcome to a new challenge at High Hopes Stamps. I gotta say this was a hard challenge for me..I do like the colors green and orange but just not together,lol.

It reminds me of back in the days of that awful colored shaggy carpet.Some of you know what I am talking about.LOL. It's just not a color combo that I think works well together,but it's not called a challenge for nothing. I did it ! ! 

It was hard trying find this color combo of paper together,well in my stash anyways.:) But I did find this Bo Bunny paper that I think works. I tagged it up of course with some green frogs.This stamp is from our newly released. Toadily cute eh?? haha


Close up- those butterfly are from Prima.I spritzed them with Lime green Dylusions.The hearts were resist. I also after I colored the frogs I took my cheesecloth and dabbed with blender solution. Then took another piece and colored with my brown Copics and blender solution and dabbed again.Giving some texture to them. 

Thanks for stopping by...I do hope you join us cause I would love to
 see what you come up with !

                                                     NATURE/ OUTDOORS .

My papers are from My Mind's Eye.Can't remember the name of the collection. I used some CC sticker alpha for sentiment as well as a TH grungeboard letter(Inked and crackled).I have a border of white corrugated cardboard and web ribbon,some twine and buttons as well.

I took my Sharpie silver pen and added some "chrome" to the wheels and bolts. :) 
Hard to get a good "shiny" pic

 Hi everyone ! I was so busy this last week with my daughters grad and a sick kid,I never had a chance to get into my craft room.But this weekend I took an opportunity to get busy and make a card.I didn't want to miss playing with this sketch from Graphicat Sketch Challenges.
Isn't it fun ! ! You still have time to play (I did lol) You have til Sunday.


Now I played with a stamp form Simply Betty and tagged with a fav sentiment of mine.Well ok maybe a little bias,they all are my fav lol. But this one suits her. So a few deets ..Paper is from Bo Bunny ,flowers are Prima and WOC. The outline leaf is from Memory Box.The danglers are from Wal-Mart ,found in the jewelry section. I added the seashell from my stash. 


Some close ups...


Now I used Magicals from Lindy's Stamp gang on the flowers. I used a blue and green to get that tropical feel on them. Looove this stuff ! !



Hope you liked...see ya later,Thanks for stopping by !
