For the first card, I embossed the gorgeous Antique Rose Stem on vellum cardstock, and tied some white twine to the panel and then adhered it to a striped gray card.
Made the stripes by applying a Hero Arts White Dauber to the gray card. That white dauber is fantastic!
And then I made another, because, well pink!
Since I had the stamp out, went on to stamp the Antique Rose with 3 colors of Ranger Distress Stains onto watercolor paper.
To celebrate, Hero Arts is having a blog hop and prizes and is giving away four $25 shopping sprees. The winners will be drawn from comments left across all the blogs in the hop (linked below).
