Thanks for hopping by to see my Thank You card for Hero Arts. It was really important for me to participate in this "Blog Hop" because I really admire Hero Arts as a company and a trend setter in the industry. The challenges that HA posts on their blog weekly has changed my life in all kinds of creative ways and has given me a new passion...making cards! So a BIG Thank You to Hero Arts from me. I got started using Hero Arts products purchased from my favorite stamp store in Reston, VA. It's called Angela's Happy Stamper ... they have the best products and classes there. I was taking a class from Laura and she told me I should check out Hero Arts BLOG. (Now I already knew about the web site ) Well those few words ..."Check our their blog" really truely changed me creatively. BB ...Before the blog I just never had a starting point and once I caught wind of the challenges that was it for me!!! A day doesn't go by where I don't check the blog first thing and a week doesn't go by that I don't enter a challenge!! Except for vacations and then I go through withdrawl!!! So that's my story...and I'm so grateful that I was one of eight to be chosen as a "Hero Arts Hostess" I accepted with great pride and JOY!!! When I return from vacation hopefully I'll get my Hostess blinkie working.
Have a great weekend everybody! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,Kathy
Card Details: Everything is from Hero Arts, The notecard, Gems, buttons and stamps. I used the swirley frames stamp and embossed in white and cut with a blade. The flower is stamped the same way from the flower design stamp and then cut out. All surfaces are distressed in Lettuce and Denium Ranger ink. I wish you could see the brillance of the gems...HA's are the best that I have ever used. Sorry I'm not at home to give more details :)
