Good morning and welcome High Hopes Fans!

I'm back with my 1st post for the month of May. For today's post I have created a beautiful shabby chic birthday card! The stamp I'm using for this card is the newest Spring 2016 Collection called "Puppy Wonder"from High Hopes Stamps!

I stamped "Puppy Wonder" onto watercolor paper and die cut it with my new and favorite at this moment Scalloped Banner Die from Avery Elle. This cute puppy image was watercolor with Gansai Tambi watercolors. I added glossy accent, diamond stickles, and used a white gelly roll pen on my main image. To give the shabby look I distressed all edges of the patterned paper with a distress tools,  then used a tracing wheel around the edges, picket fence distress paint and victorian velvet distress ink from Ranger. I also used texture paste and layering stencil (bubble) from Tim Holtz

Carolina here, good morning and welcome!

I have a really fun and simple Scrapbook page to share today.  
This two adorable stamps are called "Fragrant Blooms" and "Everything Grows" 
Our new "Spring 2016" stamp release from High Hopes Stamps!

Over the years I've had collect so many pictures of my two beautiful girls. I'm that kind of mom who take photos for every occasion...so I've decided to finally put those photos too a good used and do some scrapbook pages!
Here is a page I made using a photo I took of  my oldest daughter when she was just a baby!

Find this adorable image and tons more here at High Hopes Stamps!
I started by heat emboss and colouring the image with Gansai Tambi watercolor. I guess this is my favorite media to coloured this cute stamps images. After the image was all coloured and dry I fussy cut it leaving a small white border. I applied some Glossy Accents on her apron, flowers watercan and snail. Used 3D foam tape to give her some dimension.

I used my big shot machine and die-cut a couple of framelits. I added shabby white Fran-tage to one and for the other one I distress it with spun sugar distress ink. The last steps are heat emboss the sentiment with withe embossing powder. I added a cluster of embellishments in the top left corner using a few flowers from my stash.

I hope you enjoyed checking out my project as much as I enjoyed creating it!!!
