Hero Arts Blog Hop


Hi!  Welcome to my stop on the 2011 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop!  I am thrilled to share some cards with you that feature some amazing new stamps from Hero Arts.

This first card features the gorgeous Classic Fabric Design (CG245) background image...this stamp is definitely a favorite of mine and has already seen lots of love. :)  I stamped it using aqua acrylic paint and I love the result.  The texture, the subtle lines left from the paintbrush...love it!  The sentiment label is from another new clear set called Congrats (CL488).  It comes with three decorative labels and four different sentiments that fit inside. 


This next card features two new clear stamp sets.  The first one is called Find Joy (CL497) and includes a bunch of fun mixed-font sentiments.  And the second set is called Blossom Art (CL495).  It contains 6 different floral images that are perfect for coloring, paper-piecing or just creating a tone-on-tone background like I've done with my card.



There are lots of great prizes up for grab!  All you have to do is leave a comment on any of the 24 participating blogs.  The more comments you leave the more chances you have to win! :)  And remember, if you find a link that doesn't work, you can always hop back to the Hero Arts Blog for a list of direct links to all the blogs in the hop.

Your next stop on the hop is the super talented Sheri Reguly.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
