Variations on a theme. Day 1

Two stamps from Hero Arts and their Ombre ink pads, a few hours and this is what I came up with. The beautiful stamp scenes and the great inks make it a breeze to whip through your Christmas card making.

Lets celebrate! Day 2.

Two stamp sets

Thank you card

Here is a thank you card I created with a birthday gift from my good friend Judy. It is a Sizzix/Hero Arts stamps and die combo that I had had my eye on for some time. It stamps beautifully and layers up very easily. I finished the card off with some Stampin Up paper and card.

Raspberry Suite Colour Challenge 17

The colours for this challenge were, red, aqua, cream, chocolate and kraft. I used Hero Arts Antique flower back ground, stamping red on aqua and Cuttlebug Damask embossing folder on kraft for the base of the card. I used SU scallop border punch for the red scallops, the strip above is from SU Christmas paper. The sentiment stamp and scallop oval punch are from SU and the flowers are In Bloom by Paper Trey Ink.

Hero Arts Christmas

I recently bought this fab background stamps from Hero Arts, haven't had much time to play with it, but I love it. These cards are stamped with SU Choc Chip on kraft card. Christine will be amazed at my use of kraft ( I never liked it) but her stunning cards have converted me.

It's that paper again

Same paper as before, with Ballet Blue cardstock and a lime green from my stash.
