There is a new challenge up at the Hero Arts Blog. Some of the Hostess alumni are joining in for this month long challenge. Of course, there are prizes!
This hydrangea stamp is one of my all time Hero Arts images. And of course, it is a wood block stamp which makes it more special.
My three in a row choices are heat embossing, birthday theme and watercoloring. The Hydrangea was stamped with black VersaFine ink, heat embossed with clear embossing powder, water colored using my new Zig Clean Color brush marker, and then fussy cut to place it on the La Letter background. I added some white enamel dots to give the flower some dimension.
You have until the end of June to enter the Hero Arts Tic Tac Toe challenge. You can pick any three options in a row to create your card using Hero Arts stamps, dies and stencils.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope your summer is off to a good start.
Hello again! I have finally joined the human race after a lengthy and painful bout of shingles. My advice: if you are in the recommended group for a shingles vaccine, run don't walk to receive it. I lost more than two months of my life, had to cancel two planned trips by air and then had to cope with learning to live without pain meds.
But that's all over now and thankfully I was able to spend some time stamping and keeping up with my visits to the Penny Black blog.
Penny Black has been celebrating a new release called Sunshine and Smiles for the past couple of weeks. My Runs with Scissors column today includes cards made with the new release as well as a card or two using some of my older Penny Black stamps.
This Penny Black image from the transparent set I Heart You is very much about Sunshine and Smiles, even though it is from a previous release. Just a fun image to color.
Hope you'll stop by the Penny Black blog ... Cooper's hanging out there, too.
