Hero Arts Blooming Heart...

Hi All! And a Very Happy Friday to you! Hope you all have had a Fabulous week so far.  I took a bit of a break from stamping and posting this week, at least as compared to last week, lol.. I went and spent some time with my BFF up in San Jose, we had a blast as always.. 8-)  Well today I'm back with my latest creation... Does anyone out there in blogland keep a binder full of card ideas that you eventually want to create or make a variation of.. Well I have 2 of them, completely chocked full, lol.  I now however, keep these types of crafty ideas on my Pinterest boards.. So now I only print them out when I intend to actually sit down and create them! Gotta Love that! 8-) Well, this particular card is one of the ones I stashed away in one of my Binders and have completely CASED it! lol..

Well, maybe I did change up the ink, I used Aged Mahogany Distress ink instead of Red, lol.. But the entire design is from an example I saw in an old Hero Arts Catalog, that unfortunately I no longer see the pdf for on their site anymore.. But I can tell you that I used the Friend Definition and Blooming Heart stamps. I stamped the Blooming Heart image all over my card base with Aged Mahogany Distress ink and then stamped my main focal panel with the Friends Definition stamp also with Aged Mahogany. I inked and scored my edges for a nice clean look and then matted it up with some white CS from my stash. After my main focal panel had completely dried, I stamped my Blooming Heart image with frost white pigment ink over the friend definition and embossed it using white opaque EP. And to finish it all up, I just added a few sweet adhesive pearls. 8-)

Hope you all have a Wonderful Friday & thanks so much for dropping by!
