Ok, so here is THE card that was inspired by the Great Anna Wight, very similar..just a few different details...(like her awesome watercoloring..)
Anna's card can be seen Here. That was the card that totally sold me on purchasing some High Hopes images, and let me tell you that I am very happy with their stamps. I just Love them! Anyhoo..Santa was stamped with Palette Noir onto SU's faboo watercolor paper. I watercolored him with an Aquapainter and SU's Classic Inks...recipe to follow. Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?! The glitter extravaganza are the Anna Wight-flakes as described in my previous post. The banner idea came from Anna as well.
Thank You Anna for the wonderful inspiration! I hope you all have enjoyed yet another installment from the semi dormant "My Inkspirations".... Hugs to you all!!
I have a couple other High Hopes cards to share with you all tomorrow...think Cat & Mouse, but "cute"
And, coming soon....my Snowman ornaments that were a hit at the couple Craft Fairs I did recently!
