Here are the cards I'm sharing today:
This first one uses the beautiful new Hero Arts Flowers Stamp & Cut set. I die cut the banner on Neenah white cardstock, placed it where I wanted it on the card and white heat embossed the sentiment on the coral card front. I then stamped the flowers and leaves, die cutting one flower and adhering it with foam adhesive. I embellished the flower centers with enamel dots and adhered the whiter panel to my card with foam adhesive.
For my second card, I stamped the new Hero Arts/ BasicGrey Triangle Background stamp onto Neenah white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured in some of the diamonds with alcohol markers. I then die cut the panel using one of Simon Says Stamp's Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to black cardstock. I stamped the new Hero Arts Thanks for Being You sentiment on Neenah white cardstock, die cutting it with a Simon Says Stamp's Stitched Squares Die. I diecut the same square in black and adhered it off kilter behind the sentiment. I adhered this panel to the card with foam adhesive and embellished with sequins and enamel dots.
Supplies:
Your next stop on the Hero Arts Hostess Blog Hop is Kathy Wade. .
Before I go, I wanted to offer up a little giveaway too! One of my commenters will win this brand new Hero Arts Shine Bright stamp set.
I'll announce the winner on Saturday, February 21st when I also announce the winner of the Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit.
Thanks, so much for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteI love your style, Sarah. This is my first time here so I subscribed for e-mail so I don't miss what you do in the future. I particularly like how you elevate a CAS card by putting the sentiment as you did, a feat I have tried and failed because that really requires precision. Also you tilted the panel so it looks interesting, rather than out of whack.
