Hello there.....
I'm mostly packed for Cincinnati and had a bit more fun with some new Hero Arts/Basic Grey goodies today and thought I'd share with you. Firstly, we have to talk about the patterned papers. We're paper crafters, after all. Who doesn't love a pretty patterned paper? :)
All three of these yummo papers -- the green cross-hatched solid, the polka dots and the floral -- are from Basic Grey's Sweet Threads collection....the little 6"x6" pad to be precise. Those 6x6 pads are so fun because all of the patterns have been scaled down.....perfect for card making.
(You can see the entire Sweet Threads collection here.)
To create that little sentiment label, I used Papertrey's Label Basics stamp set and Angled Labels die and the "Just because" sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages.
Now, we must talk about that big ole flower. I used 3 different flowers from Hero Arts/Basic Grey's Luscious Bold Flowers stamp set and stamped them in raspberry fizz and terracotta tile inks. I stamped each layer on stamper's select white card stock and cut them out with paper snips, before inking the edges with distress ink. Each layer was adhered with foam adhesive for lots of dimension.

As for that fun button, it's one from Crate Paper's Neighborhood eclectic button collection. I threaded it with a bit of chocolate baker's twine and topped my flower with it.

Well, I'm off to spend a bit of time with my sweet hubs tonight. I kinda miss him already and I haven't even left town yet. :)
Hope you're having a great evening,
