I had a huge day of cleaning inside my house yesterday and have a few other things to finish off this morning...always such a nice feeling when you have achieved that...I also got a chance to venture into the craft room last night and made a couple of cards..here is one of the ones I created last night.
I took the Stencil Flower from Hero Arts and stamped it twice onto white card stock, colouring the image in with my Copics and trimmed the inner part of the flower out as well as the leaves that I created using the other stamped flower, I adhered the leaves to the flower and set aside. Next, trimming some Kraft card stock and stamping the Old Letter stamp that was inked with Frost White ink onto the Kraft card stock, adding a dusting to the edges. I attached some twine to the base and also the flower using foam dimensionals. I then adhered the Kraft card stock to a Poppy card that had been stamped with the Large Plaid stamp that was inked with Poppy ink. Finally, I stamped a sentiment at the base of the card from the Thank You for Being My Friend stamp set.
So during the week I promised that I would be having a giveaway and I have decided to have a Hero Arts goodies giveaway. Just leave a comment on this blog post by 11.00 pm Wednesday 1st of June (Australian Time) and I will announce the winner on Thursday 2nd of June.
Here is what you could win!!!
Okay I am off to finish off a little more house work and then I have a friend coming over who happens to be crafty as well, so who knows we may get a little inky!
Have a wonderful Friday!
Hugs

Thank you for sharing this beautiful card. I've only just discovered your blog and it has given me so much inspiration already.

I'm off to do some research now on what they are exactly... And I might be visiting the craft shop this weekend! Thank you again, Victoria
