A Blog Named Hero's 5th Anniversary Bash {Giveaway}

 

Hello Lovelies and Welcome!

It's Shay here and I am so happy w&w can participate in this 2 day hop in honor of A Blog Named Hero's 5th Anniversary.  We were a sponsor a while back and loved working with the talented ladies of A Blog Named Hero!

You should have come from the incredible Kathy Racoosin's blog.  If you are lost please go to A Blog Named Hero.

Each of the 2 days will have different prizes so be sure to visit A Blog Named Hero for more details on Saturday's post.

Now that you know where you are and hopefully are in the correct place, let me share a couple of simple cards I made for you.

Big surprise I decided to concentrate on stamping a background for my cards and I used In Bloom: Lola's Bouquet with Joni Andaya on white cardstock.  I stamped the larger and middle sized solid roses in Tim Holtz Distress Inks (larger in spun sugar and the smaller in shaded lilac) and then stamped the coordinating modern rose detail for the larger rose in picked raspberry adding some other colors at times salty ocean, mermaid lagoon and seedless preserves and for the medium rose in seedless preserves, salty ocean and mermaid lagoon. The leaves were stamped in mowed lawn and the dots in crushed olive.

I then adhered the panels to white card bases and added the sentiments ("cheers" from My Monthly Hero December 2016 which just happens to still be in stock and "thank you for your kindness" from Acts of Kindness CL911--a must have) I stamped with Versafine in black on a strip of white cardstock and adhered with dimensional foam adhesive.  Lastly I added some sparkly sequins.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards and you are inspired to ink up your Hero Arts stamps! :-)  A big congrats to Jess + Lisa and everyone at A Blog Named Hero.  Wishing you many, many more happy years of creating and inspiring.

Your next stop will be the awesome Studio Katia!
