Hi All! I’ve got some cards to share with you today! I was lucky enough to receive some wonderful stamps from Hero Arts to work with- first up, fancy keys!

I used versafine ink in brown on Kraft cardstock to stamp these great keys. I distressed the edges with chai ink, and then applied glossy accents to one key. I then pierced a hole on each side of the end of the key & threaded black silk ribbon through, tied in a simple bow.

Can you see the detail? I was having so much fun; I repeated the process on ocean tides cardstock with smoky shadow ink and white silk!

Next up, a bright, happy card to help me look forward to spring!

I used the fun Pom Pom Flower stamped in black on Hawaiian Shores cardstock.  Prismacolor pencils gave it a punch of fun color and 1/8” solid/center stitched ribbon in celery/white adds a fun bit of whimsy along the bottom! (I added a couple of rows adhered with Helmar Premium Craft Glue– once it was set I used my fingernail to fray the edges a tiny bit!)

And last, in this season of love… a sweet heart card!

I used versamark ink on fine linen cardstock to stamp several of the XO’s from the XO clear stamp set (there are even more!) Red ink packs a punch with the ‘love’ and solid heart images! A little tea ink around the edges and some fabulous red crinkle ribbon finish it off!

Thanks so much to Hero Arts for their fabulous products to create with! And thank you for your time! I hope you’ve been inspired!
