Hero Arts December Sketch Challenge

Hey my friend, thanks for stopping by!  I got the chance to go to Archiver's yesterday and get a few of the latest Hero Arts 2012 stamps!  EEK, love these new stamps!  I had a hard time deciding which ones I wanted most.  Once I got them home, I couldn't wait to ink them up.  For my cards today, I used two of the three Hero Arts December sketches and dug into my Hero stash to create these.


For my first card I used a large background stamp called Leaf and Flora Background and stamped it onto a white panel, which I rounded the top corners and punched a scallop edge.  I then adhered it to a brown card base.  I stamped my poinsettia onto white cardstock, trimmed them and adhered them, adding rhinestones to their centers.  Lastly, I stamped my sentiment, matted it onto aqua cardstock, and popped it up.


For my next card I stamped a few animals from the set Playful Animals in brown onto an aqua card base, die cut circles onto a white strip and adhered yellow scallop strips to the side.  I then added a bit of brown and white baker's twine and popped it up allowing the animals to peek through.  Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from   in white ink and adhered it with more foam.



Here are the sketches for December.  I chose the bottom two for my cards today.


Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a great rest of your weekend.

Lindsay

  17. Hello Lindsay!
    I just dropped by to take a look at your cards for Hero Arts December 2011 Challenge. I really like them all!! The one with poinsettia is beautiful. The one with the animals is my favorite -- so adorable! I'm joining too. I'm a bit new with stamping, and I'm inspired by your creations.

    Hugs!
