Our challenge this month at A Blog Named Hero is "something old, something new" - in other words, use an old Hero Arts stamp with a newer one. The stamp I chose is a sunflower from back in the 90's - I took it off the wood block so I could use it in my stamp positioner.
I used masking to create the background sunflowers and had to fussy cut the main flower along with cutting a smaller area to give it dimension. Since the stamp didn't come with leaves, I found some from another set that worked. Gave the piece a black mat and added to a white card base. The sentiment comes from a set I bought last fall. Added a few yellow enamel dots for a little color and done!
You certainly have something old and something new in your stash for creating a card for this month's challenge - two great prizes are there to be won!
Supplies:
Stamps: Peonies (sentiment)
Ink: Intense Black
Thanks for stopping by.
You are so creative, Betty! Really love the black & white with just the yellow dots & green leaves! What a beautifully detailed floral stamp used to perfection here!
