For the new Hero Hostesses

Hero Arts is announcing a new class of Hostesses this week! They are Suzanne Czozek, Jill Foster, Sue McRae, Vera Rhuhay, Linda Meteer, and Arlene McClung! I am so pleased to see this new group; each one of them is a talented cardmaker and better than that, so supportive of our Flickr group. I made this card to celebrate their debut! Welcome to the Order of the Apron!
The colors and design are based roughly on my new Valentine blog background from Shabby Blogs called Lydia's Apron. Rather a coincidental name, since all the Hostesses receive a virtual apron to wear during their term.

Supplies: S5101 Raindrop Background, CL288 Scallop Borders, AR137 Script Messages, CL374 Big and Small Flowers, CL290 Printed Flowers, CL322 Artistic Borders, white, orchid carstock,
VersaMark ink and white embossing powder, VersaFine Onyx Black ink, pearls
