This one was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's peek video on the Hero blog yesterday. I love painting with inks and Perfect Pearls, and the Hand Drawn Flower is so fun to color!
Here is a close-up so you can see the pretty shimmer.
You all know this stamp well! The Fab Flourish, as I call it. I thought it would be cool to double stamp it for a shadow effect and I really like the way it turned out and I actually stamped the sentiment straight too! You just can't go wrong with a beautiful stamp like this, no matter what you do with it!
And this last card is a fun one. I used acetate, which I never do. Have always been afraid of it. Silly, I know. The Basic Grey, green dotted paper is stamped with my new Large Plaid Background stamp (LOVE!) using Lavender chalk ink and clear embossed. I stamped a small flower from the new Blossom Art clear set, in white StazOn, onto the acetate card. I added a couple of punched butterflies, also stamped with the plaid, to the outside of the card. Hope you understood all that! It was fun using the acetate and I hope to use it more often now.
One more thing before I sign off. Hero Arts is having a hostess blog hop next week! It will be all week long, Monday through Friday, with different hostesses each day! I'm so excited, and quite frankly, honored to be a part of this fun week! So keep your eye out starting Monday for a really fun week, full of inspiration from the hostesses, using new 2011 Hero Arts stamps! Woo hoo! :)
Thanks for stopping by! Find joy in the little things today! :)

Love your cards Barb. Yes new stamps are so much fun.... love the acetate one. Great job. I mess up acetate so often that I have given up. You have inspired me to try again.

OK, i meant Third card... About the second card I love this double stamp technique. Never used it but based on your beautiful result I think I should give it a go.
All beautiful cards Barb! Love the shine you put on the large drawn flower! I would have never thought to multiple stamp the Fabulous Flourish like that, I love the effect it gives! Hooray for new goodies!
