Hero Arts 2014 Catalogue Blog Hop! » Simple By Design

Hi there

Delighted to be here to share in the wonderful new Hero Arts Catalogue for 2014..

In order to bring in the new catalogue and wonderful new stamps for 2014 there are a few talented gals that have joined together to bring you a fabulous blog hop and share with you loads of inspiration..

You should have arrived from my sweet and talented friend Shari

I have whipped up 2 cards to share with you today the first one being a more feminine style and a bit of a chalkboard technique with a bit of colourful embossing, using the new clear stamps For Your Kindness CL736

How do I love this stamp set, those sweet little banners and sentiments that you can add straight into, so versatile, love it!

The next card, I went with a more masculine approach, however, you could just switch out the colours to create a more feminine style card, using the new clear stamps, Be Happy Today CL729..

When I first saw the large sentiments and fun font on this stamp set I knew I wanted it to play centre of attention, so by adding a stamped sentiment in crisp black on an angle and then adding it to a stamped ombre blue candle feature, using the candle stamp and some Hero Arts inks to create my own background pattern, it was clean and simple and yet says a statement..

Giving you a close up look, I wanted the candles to have a bit of shine, so I added the Wink of Stella Clear pen over the top of the candles, sorry about the rotten photo, but you get the idea 🙂

Now for some fun stuff, Hero Arts is giving away several prize packs, winners drawn randomly from ALL the blog hop comments received by PST, Sunday December 22nd….

Time now to leave my little blog and head over to the super sweet Kelly, to see what inspiration she is sharing today..if you happen to find a broken link just head back HERE to the master list..

Thanks for hoping along!
