This week at
Tuesday Taggers had to make a book mark with or without matching card (matching card not finished yet)&
High Hopes theme is anything but card. So I though a bookmark for High Hopes too. I haven't received my HH Xmas stamps yet (looks like my 2nd order gone missing too and it was a big order, have to call them) and because I have to make Xmas cards I decided gonna improvise and use my HH stamps with a twist. Those who don't know the original stamps I stamped it out for comparison. I did cut away the wheat from the farmer's mouth and replace it with punched out holly, and cut away the fork from hand and replaced it with a bobble, this little farmer is full of
Hidden Potential. The back ground stamp just been used partly and used it for winter scan.
One post below I used the same images and they completely different look.
Ingredients:
High Hopes farmer and farm house background stamp
Crafters Companion Cute Companion stamps
Crafters Companion Winter Tales
Black&White stayz-on
Shakura white souffle&glitter pen
Red&green stardust pen
Water colouring pencils
Shrink plastic
Ribbon from stash
Here is the partly stamped background image
The full bookmark with the replacement bits. For the bobble I used the new Crafters Companion Cute stamps which was stamped and coloured on shrink plastic.
Just a close up how I done the snowie bits. I highlighted the snowie bits with white stardust&souffle As it's a winter scan I put brunches on the tree and used my glaze pen to do icie effect.
The back of the bookmark is done with the new Crafters Companion Winter Tale CD
I used my nesty to to the star and stamped the sentiment on it.
I just done simple matting and layering. I think the colours talk for them self.
I stamped the sentiment inside and used the left over from my holly border.
Inside I put a floating angel too (you can see the shadow behind it) and put couple of snow flakes and stamped the sentiment inside. Below the picture shows that those angels float in the air.
Ingredients
I was left with some Xmas printed paper from last year. This week challenge this brown one was just perfect. The other week made card and punched a circle out and kept the left over which I used up here. I got some lovely hand made paper in my stash( I don't like to use them cos I love them and wanna keep it for myself lol ) and I had one little brown one. I love tearing my papers and inking the edge to give a bit of definition to it plus it's not necessarily to mat it onto an other card, attached this gorgeous image onto it and finished the card of with Pebeo. I used my Pebeo to do the dots and the ribbon effect on the top. Inside is very simple but sometimes more is less.
Ingredients
One post below you can see the original stamp. I've cut away the fork and replace it with shrunken babble and cut away the wheat and replaced it with holly. Coloured the farmer with water colour pencils and after it was dry I used my stardust pens. I coloured his hair and moustache with white souffle.
For inside I cut out from the left over paper 2 stars. I stamped the bobble out in normal size coloured it and hanged it on the star.

I used my nesty to to the star and stamped the sentiment on it.
First I stamped my background farmhouse and coloured it, and after that I made the muddy soil. On separate paper stamped piggy, hay and the farmer and coloured them and cut them out. I made a frame what I coloured so would blend in with everything. I stamped out loads of leaf and coloured it with my Tim Holtz ink. Cut it out and stuck it on the frame. Inside I found the perfect insert on my Crafters Companion CD.
Ingradience:
I put my ribbon round my pot fixing it with pinflair glue. Separetly made the ribbon and top of it put my button with bow. On the cream bow put the flower soft so I know what colour in the pot. I keep my flower soft in these containers so I can see them and can stack them top of each other.
The flower on the top been embossed with gold embossing powder than coloured with my ink. Round my pot I used some gold gems.
