Hero Arts contest projects

Hi again,
I know there's been a large number of posts on my blog in the last day or two, my apologies if you feel like I'm spamming your Google Reader :)
I can't quite say I'll be slowing down, as I'm planning to play with today's PTI anniversary challenge as well, so there should be another post coming in a couple of hours.
I keep losing followers - if it's due to me being "over-active", then however unfortunate it is, this is just how I roll and I respect those for whom it may be too much.

BUT, back to the business :) Part one of the February Hero Arts contest is coming to an end very soon, so I thought I'd make a project or two, as I'm less likely to have the time to contribute to the second part. I made a tag and a card, with two of the beautiful sketches they provided.

First up, the tag. Very simple thing, I coloured the flowers with Copics and added some sponging around them.

Supplies: cardstock: white, SU! (Not Quite Navy); paper: My Mind's Eye; stamps: Hero Arts (Three Flowers, Frame a Message); ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black), Versa Color (Sky Blue, Cyan); Dog Tag/Tag You're It/Dainty Dots Border dies: MFT Die-Namics; Copics; button: Basic Grey; cotton string; checked ribbon

I also used the juicy colours from PDCC118:

Next, the card. I used the "embossing with dies" technique, to frame the image.
For the Cuttlebug, the sandwich is as follows: A Plate, die (face up), paper, tan mat (I use two); two B Plates.

Supplies: cardstock: SU! (Baja Breeze), Canson (grey), white; vellum: Grant; stamps: Hero Arts (Dancing With Flowers, Happy Hello); ink: VersaMark; white embossing powder; Nestabilities Labels 18; buttons

The colour inspiration for my card, comes from ric#5. I used vellum to imitate the knee-long socks and transparent blouse, that the girl is wearing.

Thanks for looking, see you later!
