Have you seen the post at the Hero Arts Blog showing the cards several of us made for Hero Arts? Every year at the beginning of December, Hero Arts stores have Catalog Debut Parties. At these parties, stores show the brand new Hero Arts products from the big new annual catalog. Each store gets sample boards that have card samples using the new stamps, and we got to make these cards this year! I was so tickled to be a part of it, and wanted to share just a couple photos of the card I worked on.
I like to think of this as the "L" card. Lisa Spangler designed it, Lisa Carroll and Lisa Stein cut out all those flower heads, and I put all the pieces together - 199 times! Many, many thanks to Lisa and Lisa for all that cutting; they saved me lots and lots of time!
Here is a picture taken at our local Archiver's in Fairlawn, OH at a catalog debut party on December 10, showing the board with my card on it! I was so thrilled to see it there!

And here's a picture of all of them before they were sent to Hero Arts:
If you're wondering how long it took me to get these finished, I worked at them for 10 consecutive days in November, and produced them in an assembly line, first cutting out all the pieces to size, then stamping the flower, coloring the leaves and stem, then popping the cut-out flowers on top and then adding the sentiment strip and the pearls. I finished them before Thanksgiving.
Many thanks to Hero Arts for allowing me to be part of this new catalog debut!

Hi Lin,
today I have received my first shipment of HA Debut Collection (well, things go a bit slowlier here in Europe :D) and I´ve also received 3 different displays with sample cards. Just found your blog hunting for stamp images and I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK WHILE ASSEMBLING THE CARDS! I really appreciate that! All the cards are amazing!
