Using Burlap and Favorite Hero Arts Stamps
I saw some cute sample cards with burlap as an embellishment or background recently so made a few cards with one of my favorite Hero Arts/Sizzix sets ....you know, this is the set which comes with the stamps and the corresponding dies. Love them!
I colored withCopics (not (!)...I made a huge mess so need to do more research on inks to stamp with for Copics coloring) pencils and used Gamsol (odorless minerals spirits) for some simple blending. The Happy Easter sentiment is from Close to My Heart. I used some Core'dinations cardstock and ran it through my Cuttlebug for a little embossing and then sanded the cardstock a bit.
After I took these photos I added a little Rock Candy Stickles to the bees and the center of the large flower but didn't retake the photo so you will just have to imagine how cute that is!
Here they are:
And a little closeup:
Also...there is a new blog in town called A Blog Named Hero which is a blog devoted to all things Hero Arts. I love Hero Arts....it's my all time favorite stamping company (and I have a lot of favorites!). There is a challenge going on there now so check it out!
Happy Crafting!
