Good morning and welcome to the Hero Arts Hostess Blog Hop, featuring fabulous stamps from the new 2013 release! I so hope you have been enjoying the week long event, with so much amazing inspiration!! Today is day 5, and the last day of the Hop :( You should have arrived at my blog from the oh so talented blog of Heather Doran.
I choose to play with the Hero Arts Cling CG517 Hexagon Background :)
I began by embossing the stamp image with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder onto watercolour paper. Then I applied various colours of Tim Holtz Distress Ink re-inkers one at time, spritzed them with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water mixture. I tilted the paper around and let the ink travel. Then I choose another ink colour and repeated the process till I had the whole paper covered. Let me tell (warn) you...this is very addicting and fun!!! I could of done this all day long, so I do have another one to share :)
For the sentiments I used an all time favorite of mine: Hero Arts Cling stamp CG277 Friends are Treasures. To finish off the cards, I added a little bling with gems also from Hero Arts :)
