Hero Arts Launch Party Blog Hop

Hello, and welcome to my stop on the Hero Arts Launch Party Blog Hop. Woo hoo. :) You should have arrived from the blog of talented Clare Prezzia.
Hero Arts is celebrating the opening of their beautiful brand new website - have you seen it yet? It's not only super stylish and easy to use, but Hero Arts are now offering free shipping to their US customers on orders over $50.
  I'm joining in today with a card featuring their new Joy to the World stamp set. I heat embossed the trees on some white watercolour paper, then coloured with gold Gansai Tambi watercolour paint. Once dry, I noticed that the paint had faded quite a bit, so I applied a second coat. It's so beautiful and shimmery. The sentiment is white heat embossed on some rustic card.
