I can't believe I did it... 3 challenges in one card!! ok, so not that big a deal. I've done it before, and so have many of you. But it just happened, and came together, and I was excited about it!
I combined this weeks' CC133
with Wednesday's SC143
and Thursday's WT133
Thank you to Emily, Rox and Julia for providing so many inspiring ideas to get us stamping!
I had colored this image last week with Prismacolor pencils and didn't like how it turned out. This week I received a new order of Tombow pens with some great vibrant colors, so I colored overtop of the Prismas with them and spread the color with water. I then highlighted a bit with a white gel pen. I like how it turned out, and am rather surprised that I could combine the two mediums. Esp since I did not use wc paper, which the markers work better on. I guess the wax of the colored pencils provided a different surface for the water and ink and that is why they spread so well.
All images by High Hopes Stamps.
Thanks for looking!

Hi Crissy! Surprise!!! :0) Dan took Ben to Dairy Queen and I opted to stay home so I could RELAX and look at your cards, which have been sadly missed over the past several months that I haven't been on here. Your new picture is just beautiful! (As they all are)
Your card does look like Ben and Trapper for sure! I'll have to show him! I'm still in awe over your coloring. You'd think I'd be used to it since I look at the cards you've sent me often, but every one I see just jumps out at me and says PROFESSIONAL.
I love everything about the card, the stitching is so cool! The background to match the theme, the sling shot in his back pocket! Oh my, and I almost bumped my face on the computer trying to get a bite of that delicious looking ice cream! ;0) It's been awhile since I've had any! lol
God bless you, Crissy. You are always a sweet inspiration.
Hugs,
Laura
