Ready to hop?

Hello, and happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend and you're ready for the Hero Arts Hostess' blog hop this week. Every day, several of the twenty-two former hostesses will be sharing lots of card inspiration using Hero Arts' latest 2011 stamps.


In honor of this hop, I'd like to share a card featuring one of their new silhouette designs called Dancing With Flowers. A dear friend gave this stamp to me, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

I stamped the new Thank You Definition first, then I stamped the silhouette, in Hero Arts shadow ink. The background is Hero Arts Large Canvas Stripes, and the scallops were stamped with Raindrop Background. The sentiment is a Hero Arts Archiver's exclusive set called Friend, given to me by another sweet friend.

Start at the Hero Arts blog, and visit today's hostesses and prepare to be inspired by their creativity! Happy hopping!

Stamps: All Hero Arts
Ink: Hero Arts shadow ink, Stampin Up, Ranger distress inks 
Cardstock: Memory Box, Gina K
Other: MFT large scallop die, self dyed seam binding, pearls, pop dots
