Hi! Welcome to the 3rd day of the
2013 Hero Hostess Blog Hop! We alumnae Hostesses are so excited to be participating again this year to show you all some of our favorite new 2013 Hero Arts stamps; I am so honored to be among this wonderful group of creative ladies. The Hop began on Monday, and will continue all the way through until Friday, with 5 or 6 blogs each day for you to visit. You should have arrived here today from The
Hero Arts Club Blog; I'm your first stop.
I made 4 cards for you today, so let's get started.
My first card uses my favorite flower stamp from the 2013 catalog:
Tall Flowers. Here I stamped only the top part of the stamp above and below the sentiment from
Friends are Treasures, using alcohol markers to color the flowers. Then I just added some turquoise and golden gems in a few of the centers.
My next stamp is called
Tweed Pattern. I white embossed it on white cardstock, then used some distress markers to color in my rows. I added a sentiment from
Live Life stamped in broken china distress ink, and added this flower made from Spellbinders Rose Creations dies, colored with distress stains.
This is a beautiful flourish, don't you agree? It's called
Leafy Vines. I stamped it with VersaMark on an ivory cardstock, embossed it in clear and then sponged on peacock feathers and peeled paint distress inks. Then I overstamped with my old favorite
Music Background. I didn't want to cover up anything on this lovely design, so I didn't add a sentiment; only a punched butterfly with some pearls.
My last card uses the clear set called
Love Jar and I used just the branch, one of the hearts, and part of the sentiment to make this one. I stamped the open heart on various red printed papers, then cut them out and popped them above my twine hanging from the branch.
