Hero Arts Fans Scramble Challenge #1

Hello everybody,

I am hosting a Hero Arts Fans Scramble Challenge over on Facebook.  If you're a Hero Arts fans and want to join in the fun, send a request to join over here.


Now onto today's challenge theme:  Make a grid/inchie card.  



I started off stamping some postage stamp using the Carte Postale set, but I didn't like how the stamps turned out so I started all over.

I inked up Flower Table Cloth with three distress inks ans spritzed some Perfect Pearl solution and bring a mix-media paper panel to it to stamp (cling stamp on the cover, closing it upside down).  And then dry it quickly using the heat gun.


I just love how the panel looks.  I almost didn't want to cut it up.  LOL.  But the clock was ticking so I used the Memory Box Postage Strip cutting die to cut my inchies, I get six pieces in one pass.  :D  Next I hand drew the lines (with the aid of a ruler of course), and stamped 'xoxo'.  I glued the three postage stamp onto a white card base, stamp the post mark in black.

Then I stamped Envelope Pattern using Soft Green onto a white card panel, then die cut a frame using Hero Arts Nesting Postage Stamp Infinity Dies, and adhere to the card uisng foam tape.  And I added some Nuvo glitter onto the heart.  When I photograph the card it's not dry yet.

Here's a close up, you could see the subtle shine from the Perfect Pearl and the glitter.
