It's Sunday again....

& that means it's time for another High Hopes blog challenge! This week's challenge is brought to us by Jeanne, & it's a color challenge!! The challenge is to use light brown, light blue, green & any neutral. I *think* I got it covered! When I saw the challenge, I thought right away of my K&Company Bailey paper pack. It's loaded with beautiful papers in those exact colors!! Now, this card ended up being NOTHING like what was in my head. I was going to go with a sketch challenge I saw on another blog. No need to post a link, because this card is the polar opposite of that sketch. I changed papers 3 times, the layout twice, & the size of the card twice. The only thing that stayed the same was the image!!

I used Albert, one of the brand spankin' new releases which you can find HERE. Just type "hotp" into that little search box & you will find all the fun new images!! I stamped Albert onto watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then colored him with the Peerless Watercolors that I am growing so fond of. I cut him out, because I knew I wanted to make a cute little background for him. Using papers from that K&Company stack, I made a "sky" & some little "hills" for Albert to stand on. I used my Nesties to make the ovals, I ran the olive background layer through my Cuttlebug using the Textile folder & added a Dew Drop to each of the 4 corners. I do like how it turned out, even though it wasn't my original idea!! Don't forget to visit the High Hopes blog & check out what all the other Divas created! They always floor me with their talent!! And if you'd like to join in the fun, post a link to your card in the comments section!! We all want to see your work, too!


I hope you all have a fabulous Sunday! We got lots going on today ~~ football, wreath selling, & homework, oh my!!
