The next card also uses the Cling Dots background on a blue Hero notecard. I embossed the Wild Flowers in white and used distress inks to color the background. I finished it off with ribbons and gems from my stash. (I need to do more of THAT this year!)

I did the same as above for this card, but I used a card from a We R Memory Keepers Urban Window: Restoration set I have and I left off the ribbon.

My final card is inspired by the cards on page 47 of the 2011 Hero Arts catalog AND uses the masking technique (part of their current challenge this month). I absolutely LOVE one-layer cards and have a lot of fun masking to create depth. I stamped the typewriter using Punch chalk ink, then masked it and stamped the two backgrounds. I added some color using distress inks and used light gray marker around the typewriter and paper to create a subtle shadow. Final touch: black enamel accents on the typewriter wheels.

Designer Woodgrain (S5208); Punch chalk ink (AF180)

That's it for today; I hope to be able to stay awake long enough to participate in the Hero Arts 90 Minute Scramble tonight, but it is at midnight...not sure if I'll make it! Thanks for stopping by...have a good one!
Hi Judy - These cards are great. I especially love the first one with the pink dotted background. Like the way you creatively rounded one corner of the card and the panel. Also like the pearls in the flowers. The distress ink embossed cards are one of my favorite techniques.
ReplyDeleteJudy, these cards are all so beautiful! I love your take on the catalog cover! The pretty floral ones have such a soft, delicate look and the last one is so fun! Love the woodgrain with the dots and flowers! Congrats on taking the plunge into blogland! (I left a comment on your first post too.)
