Hello and welcome to my blog! I am so excited today to be bringing you my cards for the first ever Hero Arts Blog Hop! How fun is this!? This is likely your first visit here as I am very new to blogging so thank you for stopping by!
The stamp that I am using is a new DesignBlock called Silhouette Grass.This is such a beautiful stamp and I know that I will be using it a LOT!I love that it can be used as a background or a focal point.I decided that it would be great to make a nice all occassion card set.The image is white embossed on different coloured Notecards and then patterned paper is adhered to the bottom.I kept the design simple because I didn't want to compete with this wonderful image.
Here is a close up of one of the cards.
.....and all 3 cards with the stamp. I love this stamp!
