Christmas Ornament!


Good Morning & Welcome, High Hopes Fans!
I am back with a quick and easy Christmas Ornament.

My post today features one of  last year stamp release
called "Snowman Mini Set" from High Hopes Stamps.

The image was embossed in "Black Sparkle" embossing powder from Ranger, onto watercolor paper and watercolors with "Gansai Tambi" watercolors. For the scarf I used my gold jelly roll pen. I also add my favorite bling... diamond stickles on the hat. It's hard to see but it is there!
  
I love wapping and making my own Christmas ornaments and tags. I always think beautiful packaging makes a gift seem more special. Brown paper is my favorite paper to used on my Christmas presents. I make sure it's thick enough to prevent any pattern from showing through. 

Here is a project I did last year with this adorable Snowman Mini Set!

Supplies Used:
Snowman Mini Set from High Hopes, Candy Cane Lane DP from S.U Star Button, White & Gold Pen, Vintage Photo, Diamond Stickles, Matte Multi Medium, Jute, Ribbon, Gesso and Wood Diecut Ornament Tags

The image was stamped twice with Memento ink and coloured with alcohol marker. First I stamp it on copic marker paper and second on a manila tag.After my first image was coloured I fussy cut it, closet to the edge. I used my black copic to color the imperfection of my fussy cut.

I used lots of Brown's markers to color the moose image.

Scrapbook Layout...Using Singing Crazy Birds!


Happy Monday, High Hopes Fans!
Carolina here, For today I am sharing an Scrapbook Layout using
  "Singing Crazy Birds" from  High Hopes Woodland Friend Release'

I am so excited to finally be able to share what I've been working on for the last couple weeks. As soon I saw this adorable stamp, I got inspired to created a Christmas Layout. So I grab my stash of photos and...

What a beautiful surprise I found!
That picture was captured from a Christmas several years ago with my mom cell phone. We're not sure on what year this pictures was taken...but I love it!
You can see my oldest daughter giving intrusions to her baby sister on
how to decorated the Christmas Tree...lol!

My original photo was a color 4X6, so I decided to change it to
 a 6X6 CEPIA ...looks better right?

I gently distress the edges of my DP with Tim Holtz Distress tool. Them used my favorite Distress ink Vintage photo, Diamond Stickles and pieces of white doily to embellish the edges.

I watercolor  my image with Gansai Tambi watercolors on a manila tag.
When the image was dry I fussy cut it leaving a small border. Then used ice stickles and mini
pom-pom to embellish those cute birds.

Supplies Used:
Singing Crazy Birds Stamp from High Hopes, Early Espresso Cardstock, Candy Cane Lane DP from S.U, Brights Collection Buttons, Gansai Tambi Watercolor, Small Manila Tag, Basic Twine, Distress Tool, Vintage Photo, Mini Pom-Pom, Pretty Pink Posh Sequins, Ice and Diamond Stickles, Matte Multi Medium, White Doily and Glitter Sticker.
