For this first card I stamped Hero Arts Friend Definition on the Matte Coate cs and heat set it. Then I stamped the Large and Small Solid Flower Clings on top. It gives a great effect of the text showing through the flower. I'm entering this in the CAS-ual Fridays "Texting Skills" Challenge CFC#1.
This next card used some more Hero Arts stamps and a great Lawn Fawn Alpha set- Smitty's ABCs.
On this last card, Penny Black's Paisley Outline adds the perfect background for the Hero Arts Solid Flowers, this time stamped with Hero Hues Chalk ink in Grass and HA Shadow Ink in Soft Pink.
Stamp Fever will have Matte Coate Cardstock in stock soon. Check the Stamp Fever blog for the announcement later this week.
~ Hebrews 11:1&3 ~
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen;
it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
By faith we understand that the entire universe
was formed at God's command,
that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.
blessings,
