Hello in pink!


Hi ya stampers!

Well the day got away from me and I was really only able to get one card made today for the Hero Arts WCMD challenge. I used the center flower which was a freebie extra from the Hero Arts Srapfest class and covered it in distress inks and then used another Hero Arts stamp (CG134) Large Flower to make the green leaves. I got out my trusty bottle of gold Pearl Ex spray mix and gave the flower and leaves a good soaking. Too bad the picture doesn't really capture the shine.......I had about 10 minutes of daylight left so I ran outside to snap the pic quickly....plus I'm NO pro at getting the right angle to capture the shine. Anyways....I used my current favorite background stamp by Impression Obsession and a sentiment from Hero Arts again. I'm going to send this card to my hubby's aunt who I just heard went into the hospital for some minor surgery. If I had gotten the phone call about 10 minutes earlier I would have changed the sentiment to "Hope you feel better soon" or something along those lines.....but I think this will do.

Exciting news to share: I won the $100.00 shopping spree over at Hero Arts for the month of September- wohoooo!! I've got my list of stamps and goodies all picked out- will most likely do some more blog candy here and share some of my winnings!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to show you all some more fun Halloween cards I got done this weekend as well for the October CCC that Deb hosts (can't post them until the recipient recieves her cards).

Inky Hugs, Anne
