Hero Arts 2012 Hostess Blog Hop

And don't forget..! Hero Arts will be awarding prizes from randomly drawn comments! For a chance to win, simply comment on any of the stops along the hop on any day, including each day’s starting post at the Hero Club Blog. The more comments you leave, the better your chance of winning!

I really had a lot of fun playing with some of the new Hero Arts stamps, so let's get to it! Here's a card done with the new Sending You Love label set and the beautiful Paper Art Cling stamp:


Label/frame images are some of my favorites for making quick and easy sentiment focal points on cards. I stamped the flowers with white pigment ink, and then accented them with Ranger's Enamel Accents. A little Copic coloring, some bling, and you have a card that's simple, but still elegant.

And here's another one made with the fabulous Untitled Love Cling set:


I love the bold blocked images in this set! There are so many opportunities for fun techniques when using images like these. Here, I used Distress inks first to get my background, and then clear embossed the image over that. I then used a black marker to color in the un-embossed areas, while wiping the excess away with a cloth. A black mat and ribbon, and the result is simple, but still striking.

Thanks so much for joining me today, and thanks to Hero Arts for inviting me to play along! Your next stop is Arlene's blog, and I know she has something amazing to show you! Have fun hopping!
