I made this card for the Hero Arts Hostess challenge 1. The inspirational pictures and the directions for this challenge may be found here. I used Mustard Seed and Barn Door distress inks for my background colors. The two large flowers were embossed on white vellum with white embossing powder. Then I used Memento markers (Dandelion and Lady Bug) to color the flowers. I wanted the colors in the background to resemble the colors of the flower in Sally's picture.
The stamps are Hero Arts: Flower Wallpaper CG123, Messages CG132, and Artistic Borders CL322.
I wanted to submit my Hugs and Kisses card (pictured below) to the second part of the Hero Arts Challenge, but I didn't finish it on time. I was inspired by a card that I saw over on the Penny Black web site and this is my take on the inspirational card. The author of the inspirational card is Elizabeth Allen (Her Bio is the last one on the page.) and her video is here.The stamps that were used are Hero Arts: Be Happy CL377, and Dots & Flowers S5213.
Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the comments.
