Jump Start The Holidays with Hero Arts

Hi.. Friends.. Welcome to my blog..     
       Today we are hopping to celebrate all things fall and winter - and to rev up your holiday card making motors! We are also joining Lea Lawsom during her month-long Crafty Comeback Party. Lea is an amazing designer, and we are thrilled to support her! Tune into her blog everyday this month - she began the party on October 7, and there have been many beautiful cards and fabulous giveaways along the way!

Prize - We will be giving away a $25 gift certificate, randomly chosen from all of the comments left at every stop along the bloghop. To enter, leave a comment on any of the blogs by Friday November 10 at 11:59 pst and the winner will be announced on Lea Lawson's blog on Sunday, November 12.

Now coming to my cards for the hop

• I placed stencil on a white panel and applied distress oxide inks. Left it to dry.
• Then placed the stencil again but offsetting a little, then applied versamark ink and clear heat embossed.
• Then I applied grey distress oxide ink on top of this.
• Trimmed the panel a little and foam mounted it on the top folding card base.
• I stamped sentiment and and trimmed one side.
• Added few strands of copper embroidery floss and foam mounted sentiment.
• Added few enamel accents in copper colour.

Here you can make out the shine of clear heat embossing.

• Its a very simple card.
• I used another Hero arts stencil and various distress oxide inks.
• I shifted the stencil halfway before applying next colour.
• Then i trimmed the strip in 2 and foam mounted on top folding card base.
• Stamped sentiment in black and fussy cut only bottom of it and foam mounted it too.
• Added few accents in copper to embellish the card.
