Hi everyone,
I'm stopping by today as part of the Hero Hostess Blog Hop. You should be arriving from the fabulous Sue McRae's blog. Hero Arts will be awarding 4 prizes ($25 shopping sprees to Hero Arts online shop) from randomly drawn comments. For a chance to win, simply comment on ANY of the stops along the hop on Oct. 24th and 25th, including each day’s ending post at the Hero Club Blog by 11:59pm PT Sunday Oct 30 for a chance to win. The more comments you leave, the better your chance of winning! If you find a broken link, you'll find a master list of the hop links at the Hero Arts Blog.
Here's the first card I'm sharing today:
I white heat embossed Hero Arts Rings Bold Prints Stamp on Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I then painted the circles in with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. The sentiment was created with the Hero Arts Congrats Stamp And Cuts.
Here's my second card:
For this card I used the same Hero Arts Rings Bold Prints Stamp for a tone on tone background. For the focal point I used Hero Arts Color Layering Cardinal Stamps. This might just be my first time using Color Layering Stamps and I was blown away by how realistic they make the image look. Just beautiful! Once I finished stamping my image I used an Ink Blending Tool and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to create the sky and added some sequins and pearls to make my flowers. The sentiment was white heat embossed on black cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by! You next stop on the hop is the sweet Nancy Krueger's blog.
