Happy Thursday! Wow, where has this week gone??? No idea! I even didn't have time to check out the fabulous Hero Arts Hostesses Blog Hop yet! But I enjoyed some time with a new best friend last night - the Large Blossom Cling Stamp from the new 2011 Hero Arts Catalog. I got this stamp from a sweet sweet friend and love it!! Here are some samples:
Card one and two are very simple, I just stamped the blossoms onto cream cardstock and colored their middle with a yellow pencil:
I heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder and colored it with distress inks, using a brush. The background on all cards is my all-time favorite cling "Friend Definition".
The third card features one of my favorite techniques, emboss resist:
I heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder and colored it with distress inks, using a brush. The background on all cards is my all-time favorite cling "Friend Definition". I hope you are well wherever you are! I can't help but reading more and more bad news everywhere - floods, blizzards, horrible diseases. I almost fear blog hopping these days! Please stay safe dear friends!!!
Hugs and Love,
Vanessa
