Hero Arts new release blog hop!

There's a new release at Hero Arts, and members of the Creative Team are hopping to celebrate! I'm sharing two cards today, both of which are floral to celebrate spring! 

 For my first card, I used my favourite product from this release - a layering stencil set that creates these gorgeous daffodils! We have some daffodils in our garden, and they always make me smile when they're in bloom!

 

For my 2nd card, I used products in the February Hero Studio card kit. I usually struggle with layering stamps, but these ones were very easy to line up!

Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Saturday, February 8 at 11:59pm PST, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Leave a comment on all stops for more chances to win!

Two for one Peonies

 My friend Esther gave me a very generous gift for Christmas, and bought the same for herself, so we decided to use our new crafty goodies to each make a project and post them together! Make sure you visit @escards on Instagram (click HERE) to see what Essie has made!

I stamped and stenciled the Billowing Peonies stamp once on a large piece of cardstock, cut it with the coordinating die, and cut it down carefully to create two cards from the one image!

Floral hello for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a card I made for Paper Rose Studio.

I began with some watercolour paper. I stamped and white embossed the Blossom Bouquet clear stamp four times around the edge of the panel. I used the ink smooshing technique to add some soft colour to the background, before adding more intense colour to the flowers and leaves using watercolour pencils. I cut the Fancy Script Layered Hello die from dark pink cardstock and adhered it to the centre of the panel, and adhered the panel to a white card base.
