Carolers - Fa-la-la-la

 Howdy - MichelleO here today with more Christmas in July with High Hopes Stamps this week. This week we are doing a little singing. Why is it I am now humming all kinds of Christmas Songs? Fa-La-La-La! This image is High Hopes Carolers - They are too sweet singing loud with their dog and kitty at their feet.

Now I went non traditional this week again. Not sure I pulled this one off as well.. sigh. I found this starry night pattern paper from Graphic 45 with sheet music in the same collection. Seems good with my Christmas singers. I sewed the two papers with a zig zag stitch. Then coloring the image with lots of Copic markers (colors below) I tried to match up and go with the purple and tan theme. I thought that little girl just had to have some bling to her sweater, so I added some Purple Stickles and Gold Stickles so she sparkled. I stamped out the Fa-la-la-la sentiment from High Hopes Stamps twice to create a border. Then to make sure they stayed on the snow I have a border fence punch with a cast iron gate top. So very non traditional but not sure ... I love my singing couple though and her bling. :0) 

Copic colors used -

O' Holy Night

Welcome Everyone;

On behalf of Lora and the DT Divas for High Hopes Stamps, I would like to wish every one a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Christmas is finally here.  Even though there are restrictions and lockdowns due to COVID, Santa and his trusty Reindeer crew lead by Rudolph have successfully completed their journey.  

Even though we can't have our usual gatherings, there is still the phone and for those who can do it, there is face time. At least we can still visit in a remote way.

For today's card and my final post of the year, I have used Christmas Carollers and O'Holy Night both from High Hopes Stamps.  This is a very CAS card.  After stamping the image,  I coloured it with Copic Markers and then cut it out and mounted it with matching cardstock.

Good Morning Friends!

As always is a pleasure to share another card inspiration with you guys. For this morning I bring you a couple images from Highhopesstamps.com 

The image I'm using is "Christmas Carollers" and sentiment "Heaven Sing" both images from Highhopesstamps.com 

Stamped and colored my image with alcohol markers. The pattern paper is a 12X12 pad called "Christmas Plaids" Added Diamond stickles and glossy accent to decorated my main panel. I think the sentiment is just perfect for this adorable stamp. Since my main image is a bit larger a finish my card with gold sequins, red ribbon and black glitter candy dot. 

 Don't forget to check Facebook and Instagram for more amazing inspirations.

Have a BLESS day!
