Complementary Colors At Hero Arts Blog

The Hero Arts Blog challenge this week was to use complementary colors on a project. I chose my favorite combo - blue and orange.

The top card is a 5x5 square card. I stamped one of the Clear Design Mixed Design Borders in VersaMark on blue and orange cardstock and then heat embossed the images. The pom-pom ribbon is from Making Memories and the Thank You stamp is from an Archivers Special.

The bottom card uses the Hero Arts Spring Mix card set. I punched out a circle and stamped my Birdy stamp in blue. For the inside, I stamped him in PTI Smokey Shadow ink, colored with Aquacolor pencils and blended the colors with my Dove Blender pen. The sentiment comes from the Happiness Messages set from Hero Arts.

Father's Day Card

Here's the Father's Day card I made for Eric. You can click on the picture to zoom. The picture is from our trip to the beach and the design came from this designer. She was showcasing die-cuts with her card, but since I don't have a die-cut machine (like this one for instance...cough, cough, hint, hint) then I just used patterned paper to resemble Earth. It was a quick card, and I think it turned out OK.
