ABNH #10: A Krafty Birthday

Hello, friends! 

Today I'd like to share a card I made for the current challenge at A Blog Named Hero to make a card incorporating kraft.

I have several ideas floating around in my head but not a whole lot of time to play.  So, I went for a quick and easy card using all Hero Arts stamps. 

I embossed the Stripes and Frame with green embossing powder, stamped the Envelope Pattern with Walnut Stain distress ink, then cut out with a Spellbinders Nestabilities die.  I added the sentiment (from Clear Design Birthday Messages) using a pine green Marvy marker, then mounted it on a larger die cut green cardstock and added green pearls on each edge of the label. 



I took another picture at an angle to show the shine of the green embossed stripes...see it here?


Since my card is a clean and simple design, I'm also going to enter it over at Hero Arts monthly challenge.



I hope I can find some more time to play with kraft...I have been so inspired by the entries so far!  Be sure to check out the current challenge if you get a chance.

Have a great Sunday!
Judy
