A Blog Named Hero Challenge: Inspired By (Another Crafter)

Hi there crafty friends! It’s Linda from A Blog Named Hero, and I’m here to introduce this month’s challenge to you! This time we want to challenge you to make projects that are:

So you can be inspired by any of the wonderful crafters in our amazing industry, tell us who they are! We’d love to know who inspires you - it can be a Hero Arts designer, another blogger, anyone!

Here’s my card:

I was inspired by Jessica Frost-Ballas, who always makes cards that are totally different from the one before, but I notice a trend of beautiful colour combinations, simplicity and hints of gold, which I think is elegance-plus!!

I used a couple of alcohol inks, and then heat embossed the cute-as-pie image from the Mail Delivery by The Stamping Village stamp set, using glittery gold embossing powder. I love the simple elegance this card has, and it was super easy to achieve.

I hope you’ll join us in the challenge, as always you have the chance to win a gift voucher from our delightful sponsors, Hero Arts!

Thanks so much for joining me!

    Did you use the salt resist ink as well? Love the gold embossing! Thanks for showing this stamp set. I never realized it had so much detail.
