Hero Arts Winter 2020 Release Blog Hop!

Hello friends! Today I am hopping along as Hero Arts releases their 2020 Winter Collection! You should have arrived from Jessica's blog - if not, head back to the Hero Arts blog to start at the beginning. There are so many incredible new products, you don't want to miss anything!

Today I'm sharing a card I made with the gorgeous new cling background stamp - Bare Branched Tree Bold Prints. 


I began by ink blending a background using Taffy, Splash and Thistle Reactive Inks. These inks blend like butter, and made it very easy to create the background.


Next I embossed the tree with Black Sparkle Embossing Powder. How fun is that sparkle? So great for Halloween.


The message is from I See Crafting - another fun stamp set for Halloween cards. I embossed the message in white.

Now it's time to hop! Be sure to leave as many comments along the hop as you can - Hero Arts will give away three $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by leaving a comment between now and Sunday, September 6th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Happy stamping & happy shopping!

  3. Striking card but my eye slid to the quote that you chose to post from Henry Van Dyke. How did you know that I was composing an ad to chuck all my paper crafting (because I think I suck at it). I'm back in. Thank you. p.s. First new project is to print, decorate and hang the quote.
