hello birdie


The challenge for this week at Hero Arts is to make a card with monochromatic colors. I got a big surprise in the mail the other day for a special friend…she sent me this wonderful pad of paper that I used in the card to make her a Thank You. The flowers were white paper from Hero Arts. I used ink to “color” then and then added lots of layers of embossing powder.

Supply List:
Hero Arts: cream button, CL230 “Live Simply Set” , S5141 Four Leaf grid design block, white flowers (now brown)
Paper: Making Memories Ledger Paper and Bo Bunny
Martha Stewart fence punch
Dew Drop Brilliance Chocolate Ink
