a blog named hero

Hello Friends, How has your week been so far? Today I am honored to have this card featured on “A Blog Named Hero”.  All MONTH they will be celebrating their First Anniversary of blogging and I take my hat off to them. It takes a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication to bring good content on a daily basis. Congrats ladies this truly is a celebration! 
Stamp the “Love Jar” on some acetate with a permanent ink. Use a small dot of Glossy Accents to adhere to the background. The “Perfect Bow” was die cut with this and then Glossy Accents were applied before adding it to my card. 
Stamp the “Flowers & Vines” background with Soft Blossom.
After stamping the stems add some color with a brown colored pencil. 
Repeat adding green to the leaves. I stamped a few extra stems and leaves, cut them out, applied glossy accents then I added them to the stamped stems on my background.  
Stamp the background again with Memento and color the flowers with some markers. Cut them out and pop them onto the stems and leaves. Email me if you have any questions. A special thanks to Mary Dawn… you rock girl 🙂 and a thanks to YOU for your visit today. I hope you will stop by on Saturday I have some awesome stamps to give away! Did you see the April card kit giveaway? Click here if you missed it. Have a happy weekend, Kathy

    This card rocks the house. I love it. I do need to ask you did you stamp the jar 2x to color the lid or did you color straight on the acetate. Thanks

    Your details in this creation are so rewarding to look at – just a delight of dimension & texture. I was so interested to see you using brown with the green for the flower stems.
    Thanks again for all your inspiration.
