I find Hero Art stamps so 'useable' and so different ways to use I can never stop and make one image. This challenge I ended up making three projects using the Hero Arts Silhouette Grass - the first one is use with blending randomly with Distress Inks over the image after embossed them - I also added the text ink (from an old Tim Holtz  stamped) - stamped again with the same inks. I added a Spellbinders Fancy Tag with a greeting from Simon Says Cupcake Party




The next card (they are all 'variations on a theme') I stamped the top right and bottom left on the card stamped with Hero Arts Leafy Vines to pull the image panel and card together. I added a Memory Box butterfly and a couple of old dragonflies I dug out of a box. The Simon Says stamp Thinking of You craft die are added on vellum. The colour of this card is stronger than IRL!!

The final card  is a tag/bookmark. The Ranger Silver Embossing Powder looked stunning but struggled yow to add it all together. Eventually I inked the Hero Arts Silhouette Grass with the Distress inks with blue as a background and then used the Silver embossing powder as a border - this was used a flourish with an old Magnolia New Year flourish. I backed the whole tag/bookmark with Simon Says Cardstock Blue Violet defore adding sine silver ribbon and Lawn Fawn Silver Twine.
I hadn't a clue what I was doing when I started out with this creations - it developed itself but I ended up loving it!!!

I had a problem with linking the list yesterday - I thought I had sorted it out this morning - however some of the links missed themselves from the list. Email me if you need any queries!!
