Project #22

If your here looking for my Truly Scrumptious sketch challenge card click here. Sorry, I spaced linking to the post itself.

I am dead tired. I’m also stubborn. I refuse to go to bed until I finished my High Hopes Challenge card that I started two days ago. I can’t decide if I’m just stupid for doing so (I cut my finger and wasted a great deal of glue dots before I remembered Mike’s layers are supposed to be 3D) or grateful (it turned out fab, right). Any excuse to use my High Hopes stamps and I’m in.I’m a sucker for them.

The challenge is to use brown and orange plus a circle. I received Mike (the monkey) in my Christmas stocking and just hadn’t inked him up yet. The bananas and sentiment are from C.C. Designs. At the time I didn’t know of a source that sold High Hopes stamps or I wouldn’t have bought this banana bunch. I still might…

You can’t tell from the picture that well- the orange is velum and I put the same patterned paper behind it. I also made Mike extra 3-Dimensional. The circles are cut out with my Cricut and embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. Hope you love him as much as I do!
