Hero Arts cards from Paper Ink

Paper Ink on the downtown mall in Charlottesville is having Hero Arts Day tomorrow from one to four o'clock.  Come in, do one of the above cards for a nominal fee, and then receive 25% off of any of the Hero Arts stamps and die cuts we have in the store.  I made the bird card and we will be die cutting out of the box and coloring with chalks.  I also used one of the new Cheery Lynn dies.  Hope to see you tomorrow!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!  My children will be coming by to eat "turkey" in the afternoon and my sweet hubby is doing the cooking so I will be able to play in my craft room for a little while!  I stamped the background with a set of stamps from Hero Arts in various colors.  The turkey is also a Hero Arts stamp.  The circle and tag is from Spellbinders dies.  I used Espresso Brown cardstock for the card.  Give thanks toay and be safe! 

Hero Arts Leaf

I stamped this card a couple of months ago with white ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  I then used one of the green Ranger inks for the background.  I used a sparkly spray over the front of the card but it doesn't show up in this photo.  In real life it is very sparkly!  I am presently working on fall cards in this technique.  It is such a fast technique and I found it on either the Hero Arts blog or Jennifer McGuires blog. 

Hero Arts

Here are two cards made from a rubber cling set from Hero Arts.  The set has the flower and two birds.  I stamped the background using Pearlescent Coral ink from Brillance (most of their inks have a pearly shine to them).  I cut the flower border using a Martha Stewart punch.  I colored my images with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  I used a sentiment from Papertrey Ink punched out with SU punches.  I used Tear-rific tape from http://www.sparklensprinkle.com/ to tape on the ribbon.  I applied areas of Tear-rific tape to the ribbon and then twisted so you can see both sides.  The Tear-rific tape comes in several widths and has a super hold.  Now that I am back to working about two days a week you will see more cards!  Enjoy!
