Stampin' Stuff: High Hopes Challenge #100

Tuesday, 11 January 2011

High Hopes Challenge #100

The gang is back with art and MEGA PRIZES!

1st prize is $100 worth of High Hopes Stamps*
2nd prize is $50 worth of High Hopes stamps*
3rd and 4th prizes will each receive $25 worth of High Hopes stamps*

* retail value. Unmounted or cling mount.

This week is the High Hopes Challenge #100 and it spins me out because I remember our very first one! I haven't joined in in a challenge for quite some time but for this one I didn't really want to make a card. I have been a bit hooked on 3D stuff lately so I made a little scene on a mini canvas.

To cut a long story with a craft knife short, I used the cutie Dwight, Remembrance Tree and Rocks and cut them all out! I always start these things before I realise how long it will take to do it. For a tutorial on how I watercoloured the little guy, click here.

TO THE BLOG HOP! The next person on the list is Andrea so head on over to her blog. If you have come in half way you can find the details on the hop at the High Hopes Blog.
