High Hopes Card


This is my card for submission to the High Hopes Design Team. Its my first time doing this, so I am a bit nervous. I followed a sketch found here. I hope the pictures are good! :)



I used an old Angel Company stamp set called Dress Up, My little girl was colored in with copics. Paper is from The Angel Company and K&CO. The card is 5x5, my favorite size to work with.

I added 3 sentiments, the say bejoyful, behappy, beunique. These are all the things we can be strive to be from a little girl who plays dress up. Children are great examples of pure happiness. They represent us and how we can all strive to be unique, joyful and happy.

UPDATE: I didnt make it to the DT, but i was fun trying :)



Have a great day!

Melissa - this is great - you have no reason to be nervous. I adore how she is standing in the high heels - takes me back to when our little girl used to dress up. Adorable.
