THIS Hero Arts beauty arrived in my mailbox today and I just had to spend some time with it. It is so easy to make one layer cards when the stamp covers the entire card! I made two versions tonight and I have more ideas to try soon.

Liquid Pearls and Distress Inks version (see Jennifer McGuire's video HERE):



Copic Markers version (I don't do them justice, I'm sure Alice and others could do so much better):



Oddly enough I prefer the top version but my sweet hubby prefers the bottom version.

Thanks for visiting! Comments are appreciated!

Hugs,

Merry Christmas to all my crafty friends!

This is the card I received from the Hero Arts Flickr Group card exchange. It was made by froggietalks (Karen G). Isn't this a clever use of the Christmas trees? Thanks so much, Karen!

I sent Lai-Yoke a version of the top card HERE. I was in a rush to send it and forgot to take a new picture.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
