Hello Friends, How are you today? Welcome to "A Blog Named Hero" Birthday Blog HOP! A.B.N.H. is turning TWO & that's reason for a big celebration. Running a challenge blog is a huge amount of work and I tip my hat to Mary Dawn & Linda for doing an incredible job!!
If you are coming from the talented & sweet Virginina Lu's blog you are in the right place. To start at the beginning go to "A Blog Named Hero's Blog" here.
Since it's A.B.N.H. second Birthday I had to create TWO cards to celebrate and a butterfly for my pinboard.
I am a huge fan of flowers stamps and these from Hero Arts are so versatile. FOR MY CARDs TODAY I DIDN'T ADD ANY SHADING ANYWHERE on either CARD!! the sentiment and banner are from Simon Says.
Lots of dot action was added with this white gel pen.
This card was stamped with a blue violet ink and colored with copic markers. Much faster to color and again NO blending... easy beginner coloring :) I have two layers of vellum under the sentiment so it would stand out. I added details with a fine tip wink of stella glitter marker.The more you comment on the blogs in the hop (one comment per blog) the more chances you have to win a prize package from EITHER Hero Arts or Simon Says Stamp (a BIG thanks to the sponsors!) Now it's time to hop to the talented Michelle Luptons blog here. Thanks for your visit it's always appreciated. Hugs, Kathy
