Hello! I’ve decided to do dedicate a few weeks of the year to feature different stamp companies I love. I thought it was fitting to showcase HERO ARTS first, since they were my first “love” and what sparked my love of stamping. (You can find Day One HERE, Day Two HERE, and Day Three HERE)
For today’s cards, I used THIS Color Layering Stamp Set from Hero Arts…
…and stamped the first layer of the flamingo using THIS ink and the second layer in THIS pink ink. I used black ink for the beak and eye and the same pink ink I used for the body on the legs. I die-cut the image out using THIS coordinating die. I stamped a coordinating sentiment using black ink on to one of THESE ovals and heat embossed it using clear embossing powder to add some shine.
I used patterned paper from THIS paper pad to finish off the cards as well as some of THESE enamel hearts…
THIS scallop die makes a great card base too…
A closer look…

For starters, let me just say how pretty in pink that flamingo is!! Incredible card! Now for what made me smile (actually….almost brought tears of joy). After having my computer crash (which had all my bookwork from my business, along with all my design files) and dealing with a small audit, I was expecting a big audit any day. The day came, when that inevitable government envelope showed up and I was cringing at the thought of opening it…….I slowly held my breath and tore open the envelope……..What?!!! A big cheque?! No Audit?! You can't imagine what a relief that was for me. It was the best news I had in months!

How cute! The bright colors and patterns are so fun. I've always loved flamingos! When I was in elementary school we had to research an animal and create it. I remember my dad and I making a flamingo out of PVC pipe and spray painting it hot pink. Hmm happy news… My husband got to go into work late today so we had some extra time together 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
