A Monday Serenade
Hello everyone! I trust you have all enjoyed your weekend and had some crafty time. Today I am back to share a card created with one of the sketches for the October monthly contest…
Instead of creating a holiday card, I am sharing a card created with the new BasicGrey Serenade collection, which has begun shipping to retail stores and will be appearing in the Hero Arts Online Store very soon. I find this a beautiful and elegant collection to create with.

Find out how to make this card — click for complete supplies and instructions.
I created my own custom stamped background pattern paper and matched it with the beautiful papers from the Serenade Collection, along with a stamped birdcage onto vellum. Some pretty accents such as pearls and a clear button adhered to pattern paper complete the card and give it an elegant feel.
Be sure to check back for blog post number two a bit later today — there’s an exciting announcement coming! Thanks for popping in today, enjoy your day!
Hugs
