Hero Arts // Pattern Hearts and Flowers

Last midterm is FINISHED! A few little odds and ends to tie up here and there before spring break, but after Thursday at 3:30, I am a FREE WOMAN.

Anyways, I digress.
This card is for the Hero Arts Nature challenge and for Virginia's View Embossing challenge.


I was very much inspired by THIS pin, and I used the Pattern Hearts and Flowers stamp set to make it happen.
First I heat embossed the image several times on the grey cardstock, not bothering with masking since I would be covering the majority of it up with some watercolored flowers. Then I heat embossed the flowers on some watercolor cardstock (masking this time around) then colored in using some water and ink pads. Trimmed the flowers out, topped with some gems, and adhered to the base, topped with a Hero Arts embossed sentiment. Ta-da!

Thanks so much for stopping in today and God bless!
