Inspired by Sally Traidman

Hello friends!  While I was cruisin' around the "Ideas" section of the Hero Arts  website the other day, I came across several clean and simple cards made by the very talented Sally Traidman.  So, as another contribution to the contest at A Blog Named Hero, I made a shameless CASE card inspired by THIS one-layer beauty:


I used similar stamps but not identical...I have a smaller script (Long Writing Background), I added the Harlequin Pattern Block inked in soft vanilla shadow ink in the background, and I used the woodblock Wild Flowers instead of the cling.  I inked up the flowers with Marvy markers, spritzed with water, and stamped. 



Actually, after all that coloring I figured I'd try to re-spritz the stamp and re-stamp it onto watercolor paper; I'm glad I did because I can definitely use this...



If you haven't checked it out yet, there is still time (and lots of inspiration) over at A Blog Named Hero.  I know I am inspired by ALL the Hero Arts artists...it's hard to choose a favorite!


Have a great day!
