ABNH loves Elle's Studio



Hello friends!


It's time for a new challenge over at A Blog Named Hero!
 
Today's challenge is simply, flowers.

as always, we are sponsored by the amazois
that means that one lucky, random winner will receive a $25 gift certificate

This month is also special for another reason. We are teaming up with Elle's Studio for the entire month! The design team will be using items from the new "Love You More" collection along with our beloved Hero Arts goodies. As you can imagine, they make a great pair!

Here's my project!


how about some detail shots?

















 
I wanted to create my own patterned paper, so I used the Hero Arts woodblock etched flower stamp and stamped it multiple times over a piece of Neenah white cardstock before heat embossing it with superfine black embossing powder.

Then I added Hero Arts Shadow Inks in Bubblegum, Butter Bar, Passionflower and Fresh Peach onto the flowers using a little dauber sponge.

Of course I'll add journalling, but I think layouts photograph better without my scrawl all over them!

These products were SUCH  a Joy to work with. I cant wait to make more

 I do hope you'll head over to ABNH to check out the rest of the DT's creations! Gorgeous as always!

And maybe you could join in the challenge?! We'd love to see what you make.

See you again soon!
