Red Royal Shaker with Hero Arts

Sending You...with a2z Scrapbooking

Aloha and happy February!  Its the start of a new challenge over at a2z Scrapbooking and we're getting in the mood for Valentine's Day for our challenge of "Any Shade of Red."

Of course I had to get out my Hero Arts Ombre Ink Light Ruby to Red Royal for the challenge!  I love making quick and easy backgrounds with all the ombre inks by just a quick swipe.  For some added fun I die cut some hearts using Hero Arts So Sorry Stamp and Cut and layered over a card panel before swiping to create a cool border.  Keep in mind the thicker your paper the bigger your border...kinda cool I thought!

I took the sentiment from Hero Arts Color Layering Graphic Flowers and just inked up the sending you.

That's it for me!  I hope you all will join us for this fun challenge for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the store!!

Mahalo for stopping by!!!

Aloha and happy Monday friends!  I'm over at the a2z Scrapbooking blog with 2 cards that are quick to make and perfect for the loved one in your life.  Would love it if you hopped on by!  Here's a little sneaky peek of one of them.

Also the a2z Scrapbooking shop has the latest Hero Arts release so you'll definitely want to check that out.  There's even an awesome sale section that the stamp set I'm using today is in!  The best part is that a portion of the proceeds goes to helping out the Behcet and Celiac Disease communities.  Hope you have a ridiculously amazing Monday!

Masking, Doodling and White Space

I'm so excited that my cards have been a 

hit at work, and love that my coworkers

are now asking for "custom cards."

I was specifically asked for a wedding

card with an aquarium theme 

and not too fussy.

Here's what I came up with...

Lawn Fawn Critters in the Sea, Lawn Fawn Feathered Friends, 

Lawn Fawn Milk and Cookies, Lawn Fawn Hearts die,

Inktense Water Pencils with Dove Blender, Distress Ink in Cracked Psitachio,

Hero Arts India Ink black

I did a little masking and mirror stamping to get the 

sweet girl octopus.  Added some doodled eyelashes

and wedding rings to give a wedding flair.

Here's a closeup...

I really liked their little wedding bands and added a little gemstone 

on the girl!

Do you see that lovely watercolored background?

That is the latest Distress Ink color

Cracked Pistachio!!!

It is GORGEOUS!

With all that white space I'll be entering this in the next

Lawnscaping Challenge 

I also wanted to share a few of my 

Valentine grams that another coworker asked for...

and some closeups...

I've said it before, but I'm in love with the

Simon Says Stamp stitched dies!

The square ones make the perfect candy gram...

on the back will have Ghirardelli chocolates attached!!

This will be entered in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge

Ok thanks for letting me share and

MAHALO for stopping by!!
