Hello Friends! How are you today? I am super thrilled to be included in Hero Arts Summer Catalog Blog Hop. Woo Hoo! To start art the beginning go to the Hero Arts blog here. If you are coming from Yana Smakula‘s blog you are in the right place.
Hero Arts Summer Catalog
Inking up several different flowers from Hero Arts collection of floral stamps is fun plus you are creating a unique piece. I admit it does take more time but, it’s relaxing and enjoyable watching it come to life. Rose Stem, Nasturtium, Magnolia & Peonies are the florals that I used.
You might wonder what the red thing is at the bottom left of my photo? I keep my embossing powders in vintage syrup pictures.
I have a video that I will be posting on Wednesday showing the process of creating my card. Sorry about that …. I got my days mixed up and I thought the hop was on Thursday lol. In the video I will show you how easy it is to edit a stamp to make it easier to color plus some other tips.
Coloring some scrap paper and embossing the sentiment was the quickest part of my card. Adding a few sequins was all I needed for some subtle sparkle.
Thank YOU for your visit today it’s always appreciated … ALWAYS! Next on the hop is the talented Kelly Latevola’s blog. Have a good week. Hugs, Kathy
