A few weeks ago the Hero Arts blog featured the Hostesses (fondly dubbed by some as Hosti) and one of them, Nancy, made a card using kraft and white cardstock with all stamping done in embossed black. HERE it is. Isn't it a stunner? Since then there have been many imitations (see HERE and HERE) and today I'm joining the group.
The Hero Arts Flickr group, for anyone not familiar with it, is a wonderful place of inspiration and friendship! If you haven't visited lately, you are in for some gorgeous eye-candy.
Oh my word Lin you've been so creative since I last had time to follow my blog list. I can honestly say - hand on heart! - that I love every single project! They are all just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really flattered by all your lovely comments on my creations too! Thank you so much!
Isn't it neat that we all are so inspired by each other! I love the way you took Nancy's card and made it your own, Lin! This is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I don't combine kraft and black too much but it really is such a beautiful look, will have to try this!

ReplyDeleteLin...I just love this card!!! I am amazed at the Hero Arts flickr group. Soooo much talent and inspiration!! AND Lin thanks for putting the tags on my photo. I will try to get the ink colors for you that you asked in a comment. I did the cards at a class with all supplies furnished and I didn't purchase any of the supplies for that card.
