Hi ya everyone! Today is the day for the first ever Hero Arts-Flicker blog hop- wohoo!
I'm really excited to be a part of this and wanted to share 2 cards I made for this.
I'm crazy for fall- everything about it- all those leaves turning beautiful colors- baked apple goodies- football games, lots of bonfires, and walks in my woods.

I'm crazy for fall- everything about it- all those leaves turning beautiful colors- baked apple goodies- football games, lots of bonfires, and walks in my woods.
So I made 2 cards honoring my love for fall and using my favorite colors. The first one uses the Hero Arts stamp "S5179" Swirly frame and a lovely little studio G stamp I found last week at Archivers. I stamped the frame using Brilliance pearlescent beige and the image was stamped using distress inks- spiced marmalade & vintage photo. I sprayed my own homemade mix of gold Pearl Ex powder and Lumiere paint onto the die cut leaves to add to the shimmer of the frame.
The next card uses more die cut leaves and the sentiment is from the set "CL361" Season of Giving. Each leaf was stamped using an assortment of Hero Arts and other stamps for a bit of interest. The gold button/embellie is made from Fimo clay and the texture on it is from using the part of the Hero Arts stamp "S5317" Starburst Lace. I used some Hero Hues pearls on the ends of the sentiment and the sentiment is stamped using vintage photo. Did some distressing around the edge of the embossed panel.
I hope you are having fun hopping along on the Hero Arts blog hop, and to keep hopping along click here to go to Valeries blog!
Thanks for stopping by everyone and I hope you enjoyed my fall themed cards!
Inky Hugs, Anne
