High Hopes Challenge #131

Hello everyone.....

It's time for the High Hopes Challenge!!!!

This weeks challenge is brought to us by

Kristine

and she has a great recipe for us to follow!!

The recipe is....

"1 ribbon, 2 patterned papers and 3 flowers"

For my card this week I am using

"Garden Gate Background"

This was a nice easy card to do with minimal coloring!!

I created the background first with a nesties scallop

oval and distress ink using a sponge dauber.

I stamped the image and embossed it with black

over the background.

I lightly colored the image with Tombows and added

stickles to most of the image. I tried to get a good

shot of all the glitter but it doesn't show up too well.

It is really sparkly in real life!!

The DP is from a MY Minds eye paper pad.

Here is an older tutorial I did on creating

the background.....
