Hero Arts August Challenge

Title: Brothers and {sometimes} wonderful friends...

This page is done for Hero Arts August challenge which is to use the manufacturer's stamps with 'critters or creatures' motifs. 

All the stamps I used are Hero Arts brand:

*E5388 Traditional Butterfly

*S5142 Flower Wood Background

*K5103 Woodgrain Circle

My woodland creatures - the Monarch butterflies, were achieved by stamping and heat embossing on orange cardstock, and finally adding white dots with a Uni-ball Signo white gel pen. I bent the wings up for more dimension.

The woodgrain circles were stamped on transparency with a permanent ink (StazOn brown), and cut out by hand. I love the transparent effect of stamping on transparency - much different than using rub-ons because the transparency won't flake or break off when crossing over dimesional items or layered paper.

Thank you for your visit and your comment - I really DO appreciate it!

I'm a winner!!! Hero Arts Flowers & St. Patrick’s Day Challenge!

I'm coming down with a miserable cold, and what do I see when I log on to my flickr account? Numerous comments congratulating me on my 'fresh face' win of the Hero Arts stamps Flowers & St. Patrick’s Day Challenge here. I'm feeling much better already :D
I'm so humbled and honored (and honestly shocked), as this was the first time I've entered anything over at the Hero Arts blog.
Thank you Hero Arts folks for your generosity, and for all the lovely comments on my page--it truly made my day more special!
