Welcome Everyone to my stop on the 2014 Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop!!! I am more than thrilled to participate and share some of the exciting new products coming to you soon from Hero Arts! Click on the banner to see stores that will be having a Hero Arts Debut party.
I've made two cards today using new stamps. This first one is dear to my heart…. it has COFFEE in the title! I used the Clear set CL731 Need Caffeine along with my favorite background of all time S5885 Five Line Background.
I did a little white embossing and tinted the paper with Ice Spruce Distress Ink.
I shot a video of the process, enjoy!
Then I couldn't resist playing with the (K5897) Petals of Beauty… love anything watercolor related. I used my Distress markers to color that stamp, then spritzed it with water before stamping onto some watercolor paper.
Giveaway!!!
This was actually my second generation of stamping, easy to do, without cleaning the stamp spritz it with water again and stamp!

The ink on the coffee card reminded me of coffee so I was pleasantly surprised to learn (via the video) the ink name is "Cup of Joe". I like how you did the background for the coffee card. The Flower card just screamed Shari did me. Thanks for sharing both cards and the video.
