Hero Arts Teacup Flowers - Happy Mother's Day

May Prize: Milton & Co - Millie Baking


I have used several new sets from Hero Arts, the main one is the lovely Teacup Flowers stamp and die combo set. It's also available separately as a stamp & die set. I just love the fun and whimsical style of the images. To compliment the set, I have used the New Day Butterflies and the Mix & Match Compliments sets.

I have also added the Mother's Day sentiment from Mom + Me set from Lawn Fawn and the Diagonal Pinstripe background from Altenew.

The images have been coloured with Copic makers and stamped with Hero Arts Intense Black ink.

The sentiments have been gold heat embossed. I played with several layouts for the Mother's Day sentiment using a strip of black cardstock or vellum to layer over the top. I went with the vellum in  the end as it's light, sheer and see through without covering up the happy letters underneath.

Simple ink blend background ombre using Ranger distress oxide ink -Broken China used for the background with some light water droplets. 

The diagonal pinstripe background has been white heat embossed to ground the teacup flowers and add a nice simple detail.


All the images have been raised up with fun foam for added dimensional as well as the front card panel. 

I hope you enjoyed and found inspiration. Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's projects for more inspiration. I can't wait to see what you create.

Thank you so much for stopping by, 'til next time - Happy Crafting!
