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.

Hi.. Friends its time for new challenge at A Blog Named Hero. This month our challenge is "Lets call for Critters" and we are collaborating with none other than Lawn Fawn which have amazingly cute critters in stamping world.

Here is cute and simple card I made.

  • I prepared side folding a2 card base and ran it through embossing folder.
  • Stamped images from lawn fawn chit chat set and coloured with zig markers. Fussy cut the images leaving a white border.
  • Stamped sentiment on white strip, sentiment comes from Hero arts Every day sentiments.
  • Used corner rounder for sentiment strip, foam mounted it on card base and birds were glued with liquid glue.



Here is closer look at the next generation embossing.
