Pretty Weed

Hello.  Welcome.  Over at A Blog Named Hero they want us to be inspired by a Hero Artist.  Now that's not difficult because there are some amazing artists on the Hero Arts team.  I decided to start by perusing the Hero Arts blog and found this lovely post by Jennifer McGuire.   Really like kraft and the white and soft colours looked lovely. 


I started by stamping the Hero Arts vase of flowers onto kraft card.  Jennifer used white ink but I went with VersaMark Watermark Ink and white embossing powder.  After trying to get pretty colours using my cheap colour pencils I resorted to Galaxy Markers.  I decided to stick with the white/kraft and to use Sketch #3 from the Hero Arts Sketch challenge.  I stamped part of Hero Arts Dandelion Frame and embossed again in white.  The sentiment is also a Hero Arts stamp.  I added some washi tape, fussy cut the flower vase and attached it with pop dots. The fussy cutting got a bit pedantic and you can't actually see that I started with kraft card!   What I should have done was stamp the flower vase, mask and then stamped the other elements.  It would have been quicker.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing.  I do like the raised flower vase though so it was worth the effort.  Are we convinced??

    This card is beautiful, Gail! I love the white against the kraft paper! You achieved great dimension and depth by adding your vase. I really like this technique!
