Welcome to the Hero Arts BLOG HOP!! I am so excited and honored to have been asked to be a guest! If you’re following along in order, you’ll have arrived here from Kelly Rasmussen’s blog. If any of the links are broken, or you have just happened to come across me out of the blue, go to the Hero Arts Blog to see the list of blogs participating, so that you don’t miss any of the new 2010 catalog stamps being unveiled today!!
I’ve made 3 cards for you today using some of the brand NEW 2010 stamps.
My first card showcases the beautiful wood stamp called Silhouette Meadow Flowers. It was stamped on ivory music paper in black ink, then framed in black cardstock. This was set onto an ivory parchment card, adding the black dotted ribbon and flower and then the sentiment, which is raised above the card with pop dots.
Supplies: K5340 Silhouettte Meadow Flowers, AR137 Archivers/Hero Script Messages, Ivory and black cardstock, Paper Studio “Textured Cream Sheet Music”, VersaFine Onyx Black ink,
Unknown black dotted grosgrain ribbon (from Fika), Unknown black dotted flower and pearl (from Cheryl), Pop-dots

When I saw the What’s Perking clear set, I envisioned a china cupboard with coffee mugs hanging from lace-lined shelves. I chose the flowered mug and colored it with Prismacolor pencils in variations of blue, yellow and white, then cut them out and hung them from my shelves, finishing off with the sentiment from the same set.
Supplies: CL416 What’s Perking, PS507 kraft notecards, White cardstock for lace, VersaFine Onyx Black ink, Prismacolor pencils: light cerulean blue, sunburst yellow, Fiskar's scalloped lace border punch

The clear Antique Engravings set is beautiful, filled with these six winged creatures, plus two little hummingbirds, a ladybug, and three seashells! I randomly stamped all of the butterflies and the dragonfly on white card stock, heat embossed them in white, then rubbed on a rainbow of hues using Distress Inks. Then I stamped the largest butterfly in black on gold, blue, pink and green cardstock, cut them out and layered them, adding pearls for the body. Yes, that butterfly is the same one that we’ve been seeing in the digital Flutterbies set! I thought this sentiment from the clear Essential Messages set was perfect for this card; it was framed using the same four colors of cardstock.
Supplies: CL383 Antique Engravings, CL371 Essential Messages, CH137, CH136 medium and small pearls, White, gold, blue, pink, green cardstock, Detail white embossing powder, Distress Inks: spiced marmalade, broken china, worn lipstick, shabby shutters, VersaFine Onyx Black ink
