High Hopes Challenge 9 - Joy

With my recent rekindled interest in stamping I've been looking for cute slash whimsical stamps. A little over a month ago I came across some snow folk from High Hope Stamps. I love them! Their stamps are so cute, just my sorta thing. Then a few days ago, I found out they have a blog! With chances to win stamps! So yeah, I'm totally going to be doing these challenges now. :)



I'm not happy with how the coloring came out, this is definitely not the card to use to showcase their stamps. I wanted to use my water color pencils on it, but unfortunately my collection of pencils is very limited, and none of the colors I have compliment my paper choices. My markers and chalk as well are all to bright/pastels. But I did not want to miss this challenge! So, for now I used regular old colored pencils. I know it's missing the 'oomph' but it's still cute! (Thanks to the High Hopes Stamps.)
