Tuesday is once again upon us and that can only mean one thing. . .it's time for another High Hopes Stamps Challenge. Today's challenge is a recipe challenge. Here's the recipe for the challenge: One Circle, Two Squares, and One Scallop. Sounds delicious doesn't it??? LOL OK, so let's get cookin'!
Here's my card:
I know, I didn't warn you that it was another Christmas card! LOL This image is called "Dapper Dan". Isn't he cute dressed up in his Christmas finest? Really, this is a simple very simple card. I colored the image with a combo of colored pencils/oms/distress inks. I tried something new with the inks this time. I did the shadowing with the inks. I love using the combo. The panel with the sentiment is distressed with a Tim Holtz distressing tool to look snowish. I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the snowflake background right on the card base.
OK, that's it! Hope you hop over to see what the other Divas have done with this challenge. You can find them HERE. I'd love to see you play along too!
I'll see you tomorrow night for the next installment of my Wednesday Evening Post. Loaded again! (No, not me, the post!!!) LOL Hope to see you back tomorrow night. Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I do read and appreciate every one of them! BTW, you all have been doing some awesome work! I had a blast visiting last week, and can't wait to see what you've been up to!
Best,
Curt
