Hero Arts February 2012 Challenges

This first card was created for the sketch challenge. The heart tree can be found in the Silhouette store in the Hero Arts profile. I used the My Mind's Eye Tickled Pink 6x6 pad for the design papers. The "Love You" sentiment is a Silhouette die cut. It comes in a little quote bubble, but I just cut the sentiment. For the circle paper, I actually used an old floral background stamp I had and colored it in with Copics. It turned out nicely, but it just didn't go with the rest of the card. However, when I turned it over, I liked the look of the bleed through of the Copics. I topped it off with some glossy accents and bling on the hearts and some twine.

This next card was created for the die cutting challenge. This cute little owl can be found in the Silhouette store in the Hero Arts profile. The cutting file actually has cute little heart cut outs on the owl. However, the card I made with die cut turned out horribly. I tried to save the card in several ways, but it just wasn't going to happen. So, I used the negative space from the cut image as a stencil. I used a sponge dauber to fill the area with some ink and voila!. I used some alpha stamps to to spell out the sentiment and used a heart stamp to make some embellishments. I finished it off with a button and some twine and used my glitter gel pen to accent some areas. The paper is from the Collage Press Vintage Vogue 6x6 paper pad.

This last card was created for the card challenge. The background die cut can be found in the Silhouette store in the Hero Arts profile. I also cut the sentiment from my Silhouette. The flower at the top was misted with Raven Glimmer Mist and the small flower as well as the sentiment were accented with glossy accents. I used some small clear stamps I have to fill in the boxes in the background and accented those with glitter gel pen and some bling. The paper is from the Collage Press Vintage Vogue 6x6 paper pad.
