I pulled out some old and new Hero Arts stamps to create three cards that I plan to enter over at A Blog Named Hero Anything Goes.
This first card uses one of my earliest and most favorite stamps. It is called Silly Scape, and it always makes me smile. I colored the buildings using a rainbow of Copic markers, inspired by both the challenge at Just Us Girls #572: Rainbow and the inspiration photo at Fusion: Rainbow Dress. My design was also guided by the sketch at AAA Cards #184 and Addicted to Stamps and More #399: Any Occasion (birthday).
Next up is the dreaded one layer card...for the challenge at Less is More #437: One Layer and Flowers. I used another one of my Hero Arts wooden oldies for this challenge, and was inspired to add interest to my simple image by embossing a wood grain textured frame around my flower using a Hero Arts Nested Wood Frame die. My design was also guided by the sketch at AAA Cards #184.

Thanks for Visiting
WOW ! Three gorgeous cards, Joyce ! Love them all. Love the happiness in the first one with the rainbow colours. As a sea lover I would say that the last one is my favourite but blue hydrangea is also my favourite flower so....cannot pick up only one !They all have wonderful CAS designs. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at ATSM.
ReplyDeleteI love all your cards, but the hydrangea is the one that meets our brief. Love your colouring and the frame does add that little something extra. Thanks for playing along in our one layer challenge at Less is More.

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun stamp of city buildings! The hydrangea is beautiful the way you've coloured it. And finally, I love how the waves extend beyond the panel holding the seagull pair, great design choice. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!

What a lovely collection of cards, Joyce! Love the fun coloured wobbly houses on the first card and the pretty blue hydrangea on the second one reminds me of one we have in the garden.
