Smile Crocodile

Hi. I'm thrilled to have a card over on the Hero Arts blog today. And it's a silly one. :)
For this card, I used Hero Arts 'Crocodile' Silhouette downloadable cutting file. Isn't he CUTE! I paired him with a sentiment created with THESE alphabet stamps, and added him to one of Hero Arts new Journaler's Tags. These are super cool. I stamped the kraft tag with the Paint Spots stamp in white ink for a subtle background. The green star paper is from Crate Paper's Party Day pad.

Sparkly Birthday

I'm here today with a VERY sparkly card featuring lots of lovely Hero Arts products.
First up, I stamped the Tiny Heart Background in embossing ink on white paper, then added sparkly embossing powder and heat set. Finally, I inked the paper with Tattered Rose distress ink.
I die cut a tag (using THIS die) from a scrap of patterned paper then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment and image, both from Hero Arts' Sparkle Birthday set. I added Star Dust Stickles to the sparkler, and finished off with some ribbon and sequins.

In real life, this is even more shimmery and shiny. :)

That's all for today.
Back soon.
