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!

Love your cards! they are great.
Just LOVE the striking blended color on the white card (with black ribbon)! FAB!
I love your CAS style. You have used some lovely colour schemes and both cards just jump off the page at me. Great job!
CAS and Love it. Fabulous work.
Beautiful CAS cards - LOVE the blue and green of the "thanks" card - the black really makes those gorgeous colors pop! Thank you for sharing these.
loved your stunning but simple card designs .. very nice..
love it!

Pretty cards. I love the colors you used on each. Thanks.
These are so clean and beautiful. I love the tone on tone flowers in pink. I would never have thought to stamp the other flower stamp and then color in the "negative" with black. I'm so hesitant to use black since it's so strong but it looks GREAT. Thanks for pushing my envelope!
The detail & your use of enamel accents on the first one makes it my favourite of these two. I do love the elegance of it & how effective your embellishing is.
Paula (PEP)
Love your first card for a Valentine's Day card. Thanks for the inspiration.
Pretty cards. Love the color combination on both cards. That Untitled Love set looks like a good one.
I can't tell you how much I love these two cards! So clean and well done. I love the flower background on the first card, and the blue and green colors with the black on the second card make such an impact! Thanks for sharing.

I love that blue and green color combination. I also love the fact that when you took the picture you put that accent piece of paper behind it, definitely adds a lot to the photo and makes the card pop.
