hero arts blog hop and giveaway

Hello and Welcome to the Hero Arts Hostess Hop, featuring beautiful  stamps from the new 2013 release! I am so excited & honored to be participating with all of the talented “Hostesses”!

I fell in love with this Hero Arts bird called “Wise Bird” . I tucked a woodgrain heart safely under his wing to deliver a message to a special friend. 
The Pinstripe background was used several places. I stamped it in Soft Pool  ink behind the bird & in white ink on the Spellbinder frame. 
Before you cut your images put Glossy Accents on them. (The GA gives the image more structure.) I left a boarder around the images when I was trimming the leaves & branches. The wise bird was colored with Copic markers & I used a white gel pen on the wings & his chest. Enamel Accents on the eye. The sparkles on the heart are Rock Candy. 
I love the Leafy Vines and used it to decorate my flower pot die from Spellbinders. Some distress ink really made the vines stand out. 
For this card I created a bird house out of the flower pot with Hero Arts “Sunshine Papers”. This heart die cut from Simon Says delivers another special message. I stamped the heart with Hero Arts “Leafy Vines” and a sentiment. The Pinstripe background was used again on this card but, I used it with the lines going two different directions. So fun!
This Wise Bird was colored only with distress ink. White accents were added with a gel pen. Enamel Accents were added to the eye again.

 One last card…a fun, quick and happy card. 

Yes, I had to use the Pinstripe background just one more time. It was begging to be colored! 

I stamped the flower in Hero Arts “Grape Juice” ink and sprayed this on the flower…it has a wonderful soft sheen. In the center dots I added Enamel Accents again. (Always practice on some scrap paper first)

The pinstripes were colored with Copic markers. This 40lb vellum was placed on top for a softer look. The yummy ribbon is a twill chevron 3 pack.

  230. CanadianScraps43 says

    You never cease to amaze me my friend. Wow and so many beauties to see. Love them all and the detail is outstanding, but I knew that it would be. Just love how you can take an embellishment like the heart beneath the birds wing, and not just colour it, but stamp it out of this world, adding texture and depth and make it beyond just a plain heart. You rock lady!

  235. Marla says

    WOW incredible cards and I love the dimension and the glossy parts of the card. What an amazing giveaway. Thanks for a chance. TFS

  299. HelenH says

    Hi Kathy, This is my first visit to Hero Arts and the Blog Hop via their site. After seeing so many comments it’s hard to say something that hasn’t already been said, but here goes. I love the birdie with the heart under its wing. Reminds me of the saying “wearing your heart on your sleeve” only this would be “on your wing”. Beautiful 3D effects with the branch and very clever use of colour. (Sorry I’m an Australian and we spell it that way) :o) Gorgeous all round effect. I’m partial to birdies anyway. Have a wonderful day! Helen (Lillyput Crafts …blog)

  305. Lori B says

    Simply amazing! Love how you colored the birds in different ways and the detail is super. And the colors on the striped background-beautiful!

  306. Liz Lumsden says

  314. Gerrina says

    Great idea to combine these dies and stamp! Think the bird and the leavy vines stamps are great and versatile! Love the cards and you have inspired me again! Hugs, Gerrina

  316. Winnie says
