a blog named hero - freestyle!

***This is my second post for today... if you're looking for my card for Simon Says Stamp and the "Kristina's Challenge", please scroll down! Thanks! :)***

Hello again, friends! Two posts in one day... can you believe it? ;) Well, not only is it Wednesday, but it's also the 1st of the month - that means time for a new challenge at A Blog Named Hero!


As always, the challenge is sponsored by the very generous Simon Says Stamp. :)


And the challenge is:


That's right, anything goes! For my card, I played with some of my favorite Hero Arts stamps (texts and reverse images.. even a little floral in there), and used them in my favorite style - clean and simple:


I stamped and heat embossed the "happy" dictionary image on to kraft card stock. I also stamped and heat embossed the Untitled Love "birthday" image with red embossing powder on to white card stock. I then used a black marker to color in the flower image and "birthday", and cut it out with a circle cutter. Finally, I stamped the "HAPPY" from Many Birthday Messages (I LOVE THIS SET - yes, I'm shouting, LOL) on to a scrap, cut it out, and mounted everything together with pop dots over the dictionary image. A sprinkling of gems, and voilá! :)

Alright, ready? Set? GO! Link up your projects HERE by 5pm EST USA time, August 10th, and you could win a $25 gift voucher to spend at the Simon says Stamp super store!


Can't wait to see what everyone does for this challenge. :) Don't forget to go HERE to see what my wonderful ABNH teamies have made! Thanks for stopping by again... catch ya later!
