The High Hopes Blog Challenge this week is to make a card with non traditional colors. On this card I've used one of High Hopes New Release stamps, "Festive Wreath".
The image is colored with prismacolor pencils and h20's. I used shimmer chalk around the wreath and inside a bit.
The poinsettias and bow are popped up on foamy's...as is the whole large base. I used Lumiere Pearl white for the dots on the beads and a silver stardust pen to line the bow.
Blue metallic cs is used for the blue layers.
Have a Great Day!! and Thanks for looking!!
