Introducing a New Creative Team Member!

It is a happy day at Hero Arts when we have the pleasure of introducing a new member of the Hero Arts Creative Team. And today is one of those days! Meet Emily Midgett! You will be so inspired by her work and creativity.

Let's get to know Emily:

Hi there! I'm Emily Midgett, and I could not be more ecstatic to be here as the newest Creative Team Member for Hero Arts! A bit about me: I was born and raised in the Midwest. I'm a wife to my redhead and stay at home mom to our twin preschoolers. I have a bachelor's and master's of music, vocal performance emphasis, but now, I mostly sing songs from Trolls, Peg+Cat, and Thomas the Tank Engine. I have always been crafty, dabbling in everything from jewelry making to cake decorating to painting, but my papercrafting obsession began after I got married. I wanted to find the perfect thank you notes and searched high and low to no avail. Frustrated, but sure that I could create exactly what I was looking for, I went to my local craft store and bought my weight in rubber stamps and pale blue ink! Hero Arts was one of the first brands that I loved; their beautiful stamps and stunning array of ink colors (most of which have lasted me the 8 years since I started this hobby) immediately won me over, so it's truly a dream come true to be on this team with such talented company! I enjoy stamping, but my real passion is coloring. I love watercoloring in several mediums, and colored pencils are fast encroaching my watercolors on the top of my list of favorites. I am so grateful to be here, and I hope that I can inspire you. 

Let's take a look at Emily's beautiful card: 

For the greeting, I used the Hello Stamp & Cut set. This line is one of my favorites from Hero Arts... just so classy and SO versatile. I die cut the "hello" three times from Snow card stock, then adhered them together to make a dimensional die cut. I heat embossed the "thinking of you" onto a thin strip of Snow paper using Platinum embossing powder, then flagged the ends and adhered it with dimensional foam adhesive. 



After I had finished the main elements of the card, it was time to add some accents. I started by adding a "frame" using a white pencil and my T-square to help ground my rose cluster. As a final touch, I added a smattering of Purple Ombre sequins randomly across the card front to add some sparkle and a bit of texture. 

Well, that's all for my first blog post! I hope this project inspires you to pull out your pencils and fake some drawing of your own! I'm so happy to be here and can't wait to share more with you. Have a marvelous day!!
