Hero Arts is generously giving away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, February 11th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.

The Classic kit is so classy! The flowers and font were just stunning. I couldn’t wait to use it. It’s just full of encouragement.

The Premium kit includes all the goodies from the Classic kit and an additional stamp set, die, and stencil. The ephemera is so colorful and would make so many quick cards! It’s all very colorful but I went with a more classy or elegant vibe for my cards. I love how it lends it’s self to so many styles.

I chose to use just the Classic kit for my cards today and I stuck to a pretty simple color palette. I wanted to color the Anthurium to look dimensional so I concentrated on adding shading to bring some roundness to the flowers.

For my first card I kept it really traditional with the layout. I bumped it up a notch by creating lots of contrast. Keeping the layout simple always the flowers and the coloring to shine. The sentiment was white heat embossed on black which really POPs.

I switched up the layout here creating a mirror image split design so that it keeps the balance. I think like often times a bouquet style stamps can feel limiting. However, with a little creativity they really can be quite versatile. By cutting off the stems and grounding it with the black it helps the florals look more full.

I finished off each of the cards with a few embellishments in that same rose color and some shimmer pen on the actual flowers.

I do have footage for these cards but I haven’t edited yet. Look for the video later in the week 🙂 Your next stop on the hop is the talented Essie.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
