High Hopes Challenge #192

It's Snowing
is our new challenge at High Hopes - use your High Hopes snowmen or add snow to an image to play along and win a new HH stamp of your choice :)

My image is Snowy's Cup - coloured with copics and lots of glitter added for some bling.  Holly Jolly sentiment.  I rediscovered some old goodies when I was on the hunt for some missing stash ... my wee silver candy cane charm and this fabulous hairy twine (there's a bit of sparkle on it but doesn't really show up in pic)

Scary Dude in the Moon!

It's the usual last minute rush as usual, though this is probably my last Halloween card as I've kinda run out of time!  I love the goofy expression on the bats faces .... they obviously haven't seen the dude in the moon LOL

This one uses the bats, eyes and stars from 'Bump in the Night' from the Alley Way Stamps.  I masked off my moon and used purple chalk for my sky.  My tree is a cutting plate from Taylored Expressions - it was a tad too big for my needs so it got a bit of a pruning.  Wee bats are semi popped up .... dimensionals added to their wings and then their bodies stuck down flat.  But no twine / bling / glitter .... GASP!!

Alex's Halloween card

This card is for my wee niece ... she's only 3 so I thought I'd make her a cute one rather than a scary one with bats and monsters!!

My image is Wagon Full of Blessings from High Hopes ... I thought it looked like my niece and nephew!  Coloured with pencils and lots of glitter added to the pumpkin. Ric Rac dies from Taylored Expressions.

Baby Ellie

I've been asked to make an extra special baby card that is going to be framed (no pressure then!) and thought I'd have a trial run on a baby card to see if Mr Mojo is going to co-operate!

My image is from Wild Rose Studio - coloured with pencils.  My DP is from a stack maybe 4 or 5 years old that I've never managed to use and gets shoved to the back of my crafty cupboard.  But I'm determined to make a dent in it!

BOO!

Hee, I'm so lovin these scary images from The Alley Way Stamps.  
I 'sponged' my sky using a bit of kitchen roll and my ink pad, as my distressing sponge thingy has mysteriously disappeared .. it's probably with my ruler as it's never turned up either.  Ever feel like you're loosing the plot???
Hand doodled my webs (as if you couldn't guess LOL) and my wee bugs too.
