Hero Arts April Challenge


Well, I've managed to squeak in a card for this months challenge over at Hero Arts. The theme is to create a project for the ladies and I was also inspired by the sketch provided.

Here's my project, a pocket card that holds a gift card.
Sue McRae HA April 2013

For the large flower I coloured some vellum with alcohol inks and white embossed the image. I did some tone-on-tone stamping for the pocket and background and added some sparkle with two stripes of Glitter Ritz (the photo doesn't show how pretty the glitter really is).

The large sentiment is from a set called Made with Love. Love the large size of the images and the mix of fonts. I attached the gift card onto an embossed tag which can be pulled out from the pocket. Oh, I also dyed some May Arts Silk Ribbon with Distress Stains for a custom colour (which isn't as vibrant as in the photo).

I'm also entering this card in Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge.


Thanks for visiting today, I appreciate you taking the time to leave comments!
