winner winner, chicken dinner! and a hero challenge card

Howdy! WOW - thank you for all of the great comments on your springy/Easter plans. So many of you love gardening... that's cool! It's still snowing out here about once a week, so outdoor activities are sporadic at best. And we have no extended family out here either, so we'll just be celebrating Easter with our own little family - eggs, goodies, church, maybe some afternoon kite flying... :)

Anyhoo - the winner! I had random.org pick a number for me:

Congratulations, Jessica! I will email you for your mailing address. And thanks to everyone for playing along! :)

Now, for something to see... the Hero Arts blog challenge this week is to stamp on anything BUT paper. Here's my card, inspired by Tami Hartley's adorable tote (see link above):



I stamped on acetate and buttons. The acetate is "floating" due to putting the stamped panel up on pop dots, which are strategically hidden under the flowers. Also hidden is some stamping I did with VersaMark on the card base - they're the same dots and circles used on the flower centers, embossed with some clear EP. This color combo was a bit of a stretch for me. Overall, I'm not too sure if I like how it came out. But it's good to try new things every once in a while, right? That's what challenges are for. ;)

Thanks for peekin' in today. It's almost the weekend! :)

SUPPLIES: All stamps Hero Arts, StazOn and VersaMark inks, DCWV card base, clear EP, acetate sheet, flowers are Prima and Hero, buttons and gemstones are also Hero, and pop dots

Hi Lisa! Thanks for drawing my name, I can't wait to play with the goodies!

Awesome card, I love the colours, very spring-like! The stamped-on acetate really adds a unique look to the card. I've wanted to try it, but need to find a source for the acetate. Thanks for the inspiration :)

I like the stampes acetate. I have tried this and always seem to have areas on the acetate that have ink on them. I have tries several inks and still have to stamp many acetates to get on that looks even. Great work. Jill S
