Hero Arts Hostesses Blog Hop


IMG_5590
Hello,  friends! Welcome to Hero Arts week long 2012 catalog blog hop with the Hero Hostesses! This is the first renunion that I have ever looked forward to attending and it's so nice to see all of my friends.Today, you be arriving from the talented & sweet SHARON DUNN's photostream.

HERE. Also, please be sure to report any broken links to Tami by clicking HERE. Thanks!

If you are new to my blog each of my posts will showcase two cards. One super simple and the other one.....well... more a bit detailed. For both cards I used this "Large Flower Background" and this fun sentiment set all from Hero Arts. 
IMG_5598
This simpler card was inspired by this class called "Clean & Simple Card Making" The class has such great ideas and is so incredibly inspiring.  There is still time to register & take advantage of discounts etc.
You can find the flower pot here. I stamped the background on the flower pot and colored it easily because I already had my colors selected from the previous card. The center flower was just cut out from the background after I stamped it once more. 
IMG_5593
For the center oval I traced a Spellbinder racetrack oval and cut out the insides of the oval. The Copic colors I used are linked below this post. To get lots of dimension I used Scrap Dots behind the face of the card. If they are sold out it's worth the wait. Just be sure to wait over night for the Scrap Dots to dry. If you like my coloring you will find some of my tips here and I will be doing more videos.
