It's time for a new challenge at A Blog Named Hero! This months theme is Winter Holidays and our fabulous collaboration partner is Simon Says Stamp!
The team was lucky enough to receive brand new dies from Simon Says Stamp's "DieCember" release - I received this super cute Happy HB die, and to make it work for the winter holiday theme, I went with soft shades of blue and snowflakes!
To create my card, I cut cardstock strips of several shades of blue and aqua and adhered them to my card front. Next, I used the Hero Arts Festive Star & Bauble stencil for my background by adhering it over a piece of cardstock and pressing a Versamark pad over top. I carefully lifted the stencil and added Sparkling Snow embossing powder from Wow!
I die cut the sentiment from the center of the embossed panel - I love how the stripe detail shows through! I trimmed the sides of the panel so the cardstock stripe background would show along the sides.
Since this is a card for someone with a winter birthday, I die cut a tag from one of last year's My Monthly Hero kits and tied it along the top with a piece of bakers twine.
Hope you're inspired to enter this month's challenge at A Blog Named Hero! Can't wait to see what you create!
That’s a beautiful card ! I love the soft colour combo.
