I Love Sunshine!

I made this card because I absolutely LOVE sunshine. :)  I used my Silhouette to die cut the sun and cloud shapes. I was so happy to see it was picked as one of the Fab Five winners for the Hero Arts February contest. Yay! Happy day for me.  :)

Hope your day has been happy too! 

Supplies: Authentique paper, TH Distress Inks, Hero Arts stamps, Silhouette SD, Copic marker (for beak), black gems 

Back from Florida and a Birthday Owl

Well I'm back. We've returned from Florida on Friday the 28th, but we've had major ice storms here. We're wishing we could have stayed in FL for another week....or month!  :)  Anyway, I did have a chance to pull out a couple of my older Hero Arts stamps and create this birthday card.  I used my Copics to color in the big owl and then cut it out. I used Basic Grey paper/leaf and a chipboard flower.  This is a 5x5 square card.  I was so glad to hear that Hero Arts and Basic Grey are teaming up! Can't wait for their new releases! They are 2 of my favorite companies! 

I hope you're warm and safe!  And I hope it's warmer than it is here wherever you are!  :)

Lucy's Sketch Week Challenge

I made this card based on the sketch from Lucy's Sketch Week - Day 1. Check out Lucy' blog. She's the ultimate cardmaker!!  I used Hero Arts stamps - both the large plaid stamp with shadow ink for the background, and the hearts and owl stamps. I colored the owl with Copics and added some Glossy Accents for shine. The hearts are clear embossed.  I think this will be a cute Valentine's day card for one of my nieces.  :)

Hope you're having a great week. Have you had a chance to play along with Lucy's challenge? 

supplies:  Hero Arts stamps and shadow ink, Copic markers, Kraft paper

Circles and more circles

I created this card for the Hero Arts contest this month. I decided to try something different. I was trying to use up some of the scraps on my craft desk.  This is what I came up with.  It's a little wacky, but I think I like it. :)  What do you think?

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
