Sending you Love

Hello - and happy Friday. :)  Hope you are well.
Here's a card I made using Hero Arts new People and Cars Digikit. This kit is so cute. :)  Oh, and the sentiment is made using the Say It (In Pieces) kit.  The card also matches the colours for this month's Hero Arts contest... check out the details HERE.

I was inspired by THIS great Hero Arts stamp. I love it when one thing leads you to another. :)

Beautiful Bird

I've always loved the bird illustration on THIS fab stamp.  So it's lovely to see it in a digi version.
This card features two new Hero Arts digikits: 'Ode to Steampunk' and 'Formes and Lettres'.  The bird is from the Steampunk kit, and the lovely ledger and script stamps are from the Formes and Lettres kit.  Such fun to layer up over some textured papers.

The sentiment is taken from Hero Arts Say It (Again and Again) kit and I added some yummy Seam Binding and a sweet Hero Arts button.
Hope you are enjoying your week.  All good and quiet here :)
Oh, and I've got a little interview up over at Twopeas today.  Check it out (if at all interested...) HERE. :)

Stamps + Mists

Hi.  Today I have a video over at Hero Arts.  It's about combining stamping with spray mists.  Here is the card I made...

I created the yummy background with Mister Huey's Calico White Spray.  LOVE this stuff!  The lovely stamp is Tree With Stars, and the sentiment is from the Merriest Christmas Wishes cling set.  Here's a close-up... you can see lots of shine.

The video shows how I created the card and added all that delicious shiny goodness. :)  There's nothing like a shiny Christmas card. :)

Have a great day. :)

So Thoughtful... and BLING

It's no secret... I love bling on cards. I am drawn to sparkly things. I am a magpie. :)
So here's the card I have shared today over at Hero Arts.  The month's contest themes have been announced, and one of the themes is bling.  So I went crazy with the gems. :)

The tree is from the Xmas Swirls Digikit, and the background is made using the Flourish Background kit - I just altered it to sepia, made it smaller and copied and pasted it 6 times.  Love playing with digi... :)
The sentiment is stamped - it's from the Very Merry Christmas stamp set. The lovely patterned paper is from Studio Calico's Autumn Press 6 x 6 Pad, and the bling is from Hero Arts of course. :)  More card details HERE.

And, of course, being Tuesday means it's digikit release day too!  Check out the FAB releases HERE... there are three this week: People and Cars, Formes and Lettres and Ode to Steampunk.
Here's a card I made using the Ode to Steampunk digikit.

This fab Etched Medallion stamp is included as one of the stamps in the kit.  I printed it onto some pale yellow card, then inked the edges with Mustard Seed Distress Ink.  The background was created by printing a script stamp from the Formes and Lettres digikit onto some really old My Mind's Eye kraft patterned paper I've had lying round for ages. This is a fun way to use up any left over paper scraps.  I added a sentiment from the Say It (In pieces) kit.
Back tomorrow with more. Hope to see you then.
