Coloring on Dark Cardstock and the Hero Arts Season of Thanks Sale!

23 Nov

Good morning and Happy Monday!  I’m popping in to share a fantastic sale that just started over at Hero Arts!

As you know I’m a HUGE fan of Hero Arts and they have a fantastic range of products from crafting tools and mediums to a huge array of stamps, dies, and stencils including the amazing new Heroscapes line and the Partners and Unity lines!  I’ve linked a few of my favorite Hero Arts items below to get your shopping list started and I also wanted to share a quick card!

To start I blended Navy and Intense-ified Black ink onto a panel of Hero Hues Nautical cardstock.  I love that beautiful Christmas Rose bold prints background cling stamp and wanted to let all the details of the stamp shine so I simply stamped it with embossing & watermark ink and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder.  Then I added a little shading to the largest flowers with the gold glimmer metallic ink.  I finished the card with a sentiment from Comfort and Joy Messages heat-embossed with a gold frame.  Simple but striking!

The Hero Arts Season of Thanks sale runs all week long but make sure to shop early for the best selection! Thanks so much for stopping by today and as we head into the holiday week, I wish you a very safe and peaceful Thanksgiving!
