Sweet Angel!!

Ooooooooooo, I'm so 'cited!! Tomorrow is the big unveiling of the NEW High Hopes Rubber Stamps!!! I can't wait to share them with you!! They are all fantastic!! One more day!! Heehee!!

So last night (after working until 8:30pm) I came home and wanted to create!! So Emileigh and I hung out in my craft room, me playin' with my stamps and paper and her playin' on the 'puter!! So I pulled out a High Hopes stamp......nooooo, it's not a new one....thought you were gonna get another peek there didn't ya? You're so sneaky!! This one is called Lynne Angel. I think she is so sweet....I love all their angels!!

I stamped Lynne on shimmery white paper with Archival Versafine Black Onyx ink (my fave). I chose my patterned paper first which is Kelly Pannaci dp by Sandylion and I pulled my colours from there. To colour her in and shade I used my SU markers in Blush Blossom, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Barely Banana, Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel and Sahara Sand for shading. I used my Aquapainter and the SS marker to paint a light area under her feet to ground her. I used my handy dandy Sakura Stardust gel pen and added lots of sparkle to her wings and to the butterfly.....not sure if you can see it but it's really pretty in real life!! I doodled around her frame and matted her on Regal Rose cardstock. The card base is a 5 1/2 inch square with Chocolate Chip and then the pp. I used my ticket corner punch on the pp and added some purdy pink rhinestones in the corners. I just received my order from Verve Visual this week and got my new Thoughtful Phrases stamps, so I used the 'sending you smiles' stamp for the sentiment. I love these little stamps because they are the perfect fit for my Word Window Punch, which I used to punch it out!! Then I added a matching pink rhinestone butterfly on the end, some yummy May Arts ribbon from Lindsey's store and pop dotted the main image!! I really like the way she turned out!!

Just a REMINDER about the details for the Kard Kontest.....please EMAIL me your entries for the challenges!! I have been receiving entries daily and they are FABULOUS!!! But don't link them in a post....EMAIL them to me (see the link on the right hand side of my blog) if you would. It's much easier for me to have them in my email and keep them organized. Thanks a bunch!!

ONE MORE DAY!!! Be sure to check back on Friday morning (that's tomorrow) for the unveiling of the NEW High Hopes Stamps!! Heehee!! Have a stampin' good day!!
