I'm so excited to share my cards with you today! I could not stop playing with these fabulous stamps and apparently, I was totally in the mood to do some white embossing! (You'll see what I mean after scrolling down!) :)
My first card uses the gorgeous wood stamp called Leafy Vines.
Oh, how I love this stamp! I white embossed the Leafy Vines onto white paper, then used the emboss resist technique with three different blue Distress Inks, then added some green to the leaves with a Tombow marker.
For my next card, I used the awesome, Looped Circle Pattern wood stamp.
After white embossing this fun background stamp onto the red cardstock, I added a little dab of black Enamel Accents to the center of each flower. That wonderful, large sentiment is from the new, Fancy Basics clear set - love!!
My third card is a simple and easy design using the Etched Flower with Stem.
I again white embossed the image, this time onto a piece of dark gray cardstock. Then I used a scalloped circle die, and adhered that to a larger, soft pink die-cut circle to use as my card base. The white embossed sentiment is from an older, but favorite, clear set called, Big Hugs.
One more card!
That's it from me, and I'm your last stop for today, but don't forget to stop back at the Hero Arts blog again tomorrow to see more of their fantastic new stamps! There will be 5 more hostesses sharing their amazing talent with you!

Barb, you always do such wonderful cards! I absolutely love the large sentiments and loopey circle background! I've been into embossing lately too! It's so fun!
I love your colouring on the Leafy Vine card and Everything Flower card (cute buttons, too). I'll have to try some of those Enamel Accents--from the photo, I thought they were tiny pearls or rhinestones!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Leafy Vine stamp. Love what you did with it. I also love your card with the Everything Flowers stamp. So creative!
I'm trying embossing too and I understand you that you use embossing in every single card, the result always is amazing.
My favorite card is the last one, love all the colors and flowers.
Btw thanks for your giveaway :)
A Beautiful thank you card! I love it!
Very nice and pretty cards. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful cards! I think I really "must" have that Leafy Vines" stamp!! :)
Wow BaRB! You did a wonderful job, all your cards are fabulous, I like the Leafy vines more everyday, thanks for the inspiration and for the chance to win your goodies.
Oh Barb, now I really do have a massive case of the I wants!!!!! I love all of these cards you have made. I especially love the vines & the flowers cards. Both are stunning, so gorgeous in their own ways. Just beautiful
Oh my gosh, your first card is absolutely stunning! I love it!! I have quickly become a huge fan of the "Leafy Vine" stamp, it's so elegant. You have certainly done wonders with it. Your second card has an amazing background as well, you are clearly very talented. I also love the fourth card, I can't seem to make up my mind on which one is my fav. Probably the first card though. Thanks so much for sharing your cards with us all and for the huge amount of inspiration I'm leaving your blog with.

Nice, nice, nice ... ;)
Thank you for sharing those beauties !!!
Sincerely,
Barb I have to say that I have seen some pretty amazing cards lately but I haven't seen anything that makes me drool like this first card does. I think it is totally out of this world and I mean that! There are some cards that are totally beautiful but than others that make you stop and take notice. This one is truly one of those. The second one give the same feel ing as well but not so much as the first. Your last card is beautiful as well with it's flowery scene. Totally amazing work and so happy that you shared it with us all.
I am having a time getting this to post but here goes again. Lovely cards.

Beautiful cards, Barb! Would love to win me some Hero Arts as haven't tried their product line yet. Enjoy your blog like you enjoy life. : )
Really nice cards Barb! Love the flowers on that Everything Flowers card. Love what you did with it, the color combination looks great. I think that leafy vine stamp is a must have and it looks fantastic with the green touch.
Absolutely stunning cards, Barb! I love the transition of blues and the way you highlighted the flourish and leaves. It takes my breath away. And of course that last card makes me so happy with its brilliant colours!

Absolutely wonderful cards, Barb! Stunning use of the Leafy Vines.. your addition of a little green marker to the leaves is BRILLIANT, and so smart!
