New stamps and a few birthday cards

I recently got some yummy new Hero Arts stamps and sat down to play and made a birthday card using my favorite colors: orange- yellow- brown. I used the envelope pattern and the life of the party dots and a few other HA stamps to create this.

I used several distress inks on the dots background (scattered straw-brushed corduroy- spiced marmalade) and the flower was colored using distress inks as well (spiced marmalade). The envelope pattern was stamped using antique linen right on top of the dots. I added a few pearls in both dark drown and orange and that is pretty much it. Pretty quick and easy- yeah! I like how subtle the envelope pattern shows up here.

Here is another birthday card I made last week but never blogged about......another  card using more of my favorite Hero Arts stamps. Again the envelope pattern and the Hero Arts birthday definition behind a tulip digi image from Plain Jane.
