Well, in case you have been wondering where I've been lurking in between doctor's appointments, Bible Studies, Church, College graduations, Birthdays, weekend trip to MD to see the in-laws, parenting classes, and such, I've been lurking on the heroarts website. They have a new blog and things are pretty awesome over there. In fact, I came across a challenge that I participated in. We won't know the winners until tomorrow (thursday May 22) but I thought I'd share my lo I did! It was for a background challenge using a heroarts stamp as the main image.
The heroarts stamp I used is called designblock stencil. I LOVE it! Do you think my husband would mind if I married it? Anyway, I stamped with different colored inks on white cardstock, and then matted it to PP from doodlebug called 306 dots and daises.
Here is a better description:
For the Hero Arts Challenge of Backgrounds. On the white cardstock, I used the HeroArts DesignBlocks Stencil (which I just bought Thursday May 15, and absolutely LOVE!) I inked the stamped with both Tsukinkeo VersaMagic chalk inks and Colorbox Fluid Chalk Cats Eye Queue and Colorbox pigment Cats Eye Queues. I Love how it turned out! That was my main background, then I trimmed it to fit on Doodlebug PP called 306 dots and daises.
The phrase is from PP from Around The Block, titled Character is Power.
The Ribbon is Sweet Treat Ribbon.
Flowers are Prima Fall #1
Brads are Crystal Brads from Picture Perfect.
The girl is my cousin who is now 6. I believe is was around 2/2.5ish in this picture.
So without further ado, the lo:
I was so proud of myself! This lo only take an hour for me to do! Normally it can take me anywhere from 2 hours to a week to do a page!
And to leave you with some eye candy photos: My husband and I went on a hike at Robert H. Treman state park in Ithaca, NY. About an hour from us. Beautiful! Between the two of us, we took over 300 some photos! Anyway, I thought I'd share some of the pics!
Hope you enjoyed your virtual hike!
