Blog Hop........ A BIG Thank You to Hero Arts!!

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 :)

The challenge for this week at Hero Arts is to make a card with monochromatic colors. I got a big surprise in the mail the other day for a special friend...she sent me this wonderful pad of paper that I used in the card to make her a Thank You. The flowers were white paper from Hero Arts. I used ink to "color" then and then added lots of layers of embossing powder.
