I'm excited to be back today as part of the Hero Arts Hostess 2014 Catalog Blog Hop!
Okay, enough of the mushy stuff. ;) If you've been following along the blog hop you should be arriving from sweet and talented Nancy Krueger's blog. If this is your first stop today you'll want to start at the Hero Arts Club Blog. If you find a broken link, you'll find a master list of the hop links at the Hero Arts Club Blog. Also, please report broken links to: blog@heroarts.com.
I made 2 cards for today's hop. Here's my first card using the black heat embossed Zebra Print background stamp along with Inktense watercolor pencils and a Wink of Stella clear glitter marker. The gorgeous sentiment is from the new Messages with Flourish clear stamp set.
Here's a close up to give you an idea of just how shiny and glittery this is...
Supplies:
For my second card I used the Zebra Print background once again, this time pairing it with its cousin the Leopard Print background. I did some tone on tone stamping with each one to create a baby card that I thought would be great for either boy/girl twins or in the case where you don't know whether the baby is a boy or girl yet. I'm loving this Congrats! sentiment font which is found in the new Yay! clear stamp set.
Supplies:
Before I go I've got to let you know that Hero Arts will be awarding prizes from randomly drawn comments.
