High Hopes Challenge #23!!

This week's hostess with the mostess over at the High Hopes blog, is the totally talented Niki!! She wants us to use BUTTONS!!! Not a problem here!! haha!!

I just picked up the new Marrakech buttons and brads by Basic Grey over at Scrappin' Great Deals this week, so that was perfect for the challenge!! First, I stamped Ally Rose on Wausau bright white carstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped her on a post-it note and cut her out. Then I put the post-it note overtop of the stamped image and stamped the Bale of Hay overtop and voila...she's sitting on some hay!! I picked my Copic colours out to match the dp and coloured her in.

The card base is a 6x6 square of Ballet Blue and the rest of the papers are dp. I stamped the Take a Break sentiment directly on the dp, attached some Prima flowers with a BG brad and pop dotted the focal layer. Then I finished it off by adding three coordinating buttons with some linen thread!!! Ain't she cute??



Be sure to pop over to the High Hopes blog to check out the other Divas' amazing designs, then be sure to play along! There are some fabby stamps to be won this week!!

Well, this morning I am busy packing my markers, my ink, my paper...oh and a few clothes too...heehee! I'm headed off to Toronto today with my pal Andrea! We are meeting so many wonderful stampers this week including Crissy, Janette, Janine, Tara, Kerry and so MANY more!! There will be lots of photos, so I'd better remember to bring my camera....AND batteries!! haha!
