A couple High Hopes cards....

My jungle stamps from High Hopes were feeling a bit neglected so I thought I would sit and colour a whole bunch. I finally got to use them up. This first card is Stretch the giraffe. The card base is Really Rust and the other layer is More Mustard - sponged with Really Rust ink and run through the Cuttlebug with the Mesh folder. I used a jumbo eyelet with a Fire rhinestone brad inside (both from SU). Stretch is coloured with koh-i-nor pencils and gamsol. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is inked with Really Rust.
This is Samson, also from High Hopes. He is coloured with koh-i-noor pencils and gamsol too. The card base is Garden Green and the DP is from Arctic Frog - Lilly Pad collection. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and was inked in Garden Green. I used a jumbo eyelet (SU) and some green thread I had in my scraps bin! This card is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4"
