Hero Arts Luscious Cards

Hero Arts - CL509 Luscious Patterned Flowers

I made four new cards for Stampin EJ's store using the new stamps from the Hero Arts/Basic Grey Luscious line.   The first card uses silver embossing powder, teal glitter embossing and some pretty foil, metallic, and glitter paper.  I thought this would make a pretty wedding card (but I had already used the "Best Wishes" sentiment and didn't want to re-use it, ha ha!)

The second card uses a resist technique by stamping white StazOn onto a book page (Jane Austen) and using a brayer to apply Tim Holtz Distress ink once the StazOn is dry.  For a detailed flower tutorial CLICK HERE.

Card number three is a simple card using more book pages matted and stamped.  I originally put them on upside down because I thought the text detracted from the design but I ended up changing it so the text is now right-side-up.

The final card is another simple design using more inchie squares with pretty rhinestones to bling them up!  Don't you love these flowers!? Stamps and supplies available at: Debra's Cottage.
