So happy that I was able to get another card made using a second sketch from the Hero Arts April contest.
Here is my card:
This time I chose the Eiffel Tower background to make the panels, using four different shades of Distress Inks, shading from top to bottom as shown in the sketch. I also used a scalloped circle and a sentiment from two different Hero Arts cling sets.
I've fallen in love with this gold embossing powder, so you will no doubt be seeing more cards using it here!
Today is going to be a beautiful spring day in Ohio and I hope to do a little work in my flower beds later. Hope your day is fabulous!
There are three sketches provided for this month's Hero Arts contest. Here is a card I made for one of the sketches:
Black and white always makes for a classy card and I like the way the one red epoxy heart pops here. The raindrop background is just enough pattern for the rest of the elements.
I am attempting to get cards made for the other two sketches before the deadline! We'll see if they come to fruition. There is only so much time to devote to cards these days. . . .
Have a great "hump" day!
Just playing with another new stamp from Hero Arts that I have been wanting since it was released.
The Large Flower Background is just beautiful and I've seen a lot of awesome cards made with it. Here I heat embossed with silver and colored with Memento markers. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set called Truly Appreciated.
A simple card, but I wanted the background to be the star!!
Have a great day!
Today I made a card for my grandaughter who lives in California. She sends me pictures and little gifts here and there, which is very sweet.
I like the pretty font of this sentiment and it really fills up the whole card. Some seam binding, butterfly and gems were all it needed.
Thanks for stopping by!
This is a card I made for this month's challenge at Hero Arts. I used a new (to me) Spellbinders die called Reverse Wonky Rectangles for the shape and a new (to me) stamp from Hero Arts titled For You Gifts, which is just so cute!
The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils. The patterned paper background is from the Simon Says April kit of the month. I added some yellow pearls from Teresa Collins and a tiny yellow bow with ribbon from my stash.
Hope your day is fabulous!
What's in my Easter basket?? Sparkling eggs!
This sweet little basket is a stamp from Rosebud Rubber Stamps, a company which to my knowledge is no longer in business. The sentiment is from Penny Black. Background paper is from Basic Grey's Lauderdale 6 x 6 pad.
This also qualifies for Simon Says, so I will send it over there, too.
Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Good morning! The past week or so has been a busy one for me and I haven't been able to get any cards made until yesterday.
The Tuesday Trigger photo for this week is so pretty:
Here is my card:
Blue and white is my favorite color combo. I stamped the butterfly on a blue speckled paper and again on vellum. Cut out just a portion of the wings from the vellum and adhered over the blue one. Added blue and white liquid pearls for accent. The embossing folder is from Sizzix.
I will also use this card for two other challenges this week. The challenge for A Blog Named Hero is to use our favorite stamps from Hero Arts and this Artists Butterfly is just one of mine. I also used one of my favorite tools, the Cuttlebug, to emboss the background so this suits the challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp also.
Have a wonderful day!
