Lake Time Fun from Hero Arts

Greetings to you!  Summertime. And the livin' is easy. Especially as we enjoy time on our nearby lake where we can fish or boat. Many swim too. In case I needed any more reasons for adding the Lake Time Fun stamps to my stash I might add how versatile the silhouetted images are!

 I pulled out the Derwent Inktense pencils and scribbled three colors then washed over them with a wet brush, creating three softly striped watercolor scenes.

The rectangles were placed in the frame and the images were stamped in black, die cut and adhered on top. No dimension this time! This card is headed for the grands to tell them that Papa and I miss them. Inside the sentiment reads, "You are the catch of the day!" Another slim card, ready to mail. 

We aren't expecting too much trouble from hurricane Isaiahs but since we're in NC we are battening down the hatches and preparing for a very rainy night. 

Hope to see you soon! Thanks so much for visiting.

My Monthly Hero January Card Kit 2019

Hello! Happy Friday. I can't believe one more week has gone by! 

I created three cards over this past week using the monthly kit from Hero Arts, and I have to tell you how much I love this kit! The stamps and dies are super fun but you get many other supplies as well that make it a terrific value. I began by stamping the images, coloring them with Copics, and then die cutting them. 

The stamps involve a fabulous floral shop display that I featured in the first card. I just love that bicycle image, I know it will be handy for many types of occasions. 

The second card was inspired by the patterned paper in my stash. Framing the three images with die cuts, I added only small hearts and some ribbon from the kit as embellishments. This one is so simple but you know what? It's my favorite. 

For the last project I created a shaker card using the heart-shaped balloons for a Valentine's greeting. 

As always, I thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have a really wonderful day.
