Welcome the reader to the 2011 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop.
Did you have fun at Nichol's blog?
I've had the best time playing with my brand new Hero Arts stamps. I love each and every one!
So I got a bit carried away, and made 4 cards! Focus = COLOUR!
First, I used the CG425: Classic Fabric Design new to create a beautiful background for this simple birthday card. I stamped it in Soft Blossom Shadow Ink onto Carnation layering paper, then added pink gems and silk ribbon. The sentiment is from a new Cling set, CG277: Friends are Treasures.
My second card uses the same Fabric background stamp, but I added a sweet sentiment from CL490: Sending Smiles Messages (a new favourite), and a telephone image from CL502: Just Saying Hi. Love it. Soft Pool Ink on Pool Notecards is just delicious. I inked the edges with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink - a perfect match!
I LOVED making the background for this next card. All the stamps are from CL502: Just Saying Hi. I used Grass Layering Paper, Grass Ink and Kraft Paper. Hero Arts Chalk inks stamp so beautifully onto their Layering Papers...
And finally, I used the sweet new Cling stamp Edged Fabric with Flowers (CG247). I stamped it in chalk ink (Punch, Poppy, Cerulean and Grass) on white cardstock and die cut with my Nesties. I inked the edges with matching distress ink for extra pop. The sentiment is from the Sending Smiles Messages set.
That's it!
Time to hop on...

Lucy I have always been a lover of your style of cardmaking, but yet I could never seem to create the same effect for myself. Lol! I just have a tendency to keep adding and adding! Lol! So much that it would not stand up in a CAS card contest! Lol! I so love your cards and your style is never overdone, but always so elegant and charming. Your eye for detail is outstanding and what would be something plain and simple for me is really a masterpiece when coming from you! Hugs.
Love what you did with those new stamps, looking forward to seeing more from them and you in the future!
