Few cards and.....

Hello Everyone!!!!

I'm still playing with the Hero Arts/Basic Grey stamp set......really love it!

Did I mention about THIS....check Basic Grey Blog!!!!

I created two cards with the same set and I think it can be used several more ways too!

The first card was inspired by Lilypad card's Virginia's View inspiration( but I was late, challenge ended) really like the colorful rainbow of buttons!!

A CAS card with lots of Distress ink, one favorite stamp set and a few blings & buttons.

This card is for the following challenges..

The Pink Elephant : Clean and simple.

Stamp with Fun :No Eastercard .

A Blog Named Hero: Play favorites

....this HA stamp set is mt current favorite.

Amusing Challenges : Buttons .

Now the next card.....

the same lovely flowers..isn't it!!!

 Just combined Hero Arts stamp with some PTI dies and impression plate.

I used distress ink to color the white embosssed flowers.

This card is for the following challenges..

ColourQ - #130

Lily pad card's Simon Says present: Flowers.

Sasya sketches: Sketch#109

Okay!!! I don't know if you all noticed I finally changed my blog header. I want to get a custom blog makeover done but can't afford it right now. The previous blog header was the one I made 2 1/2 years ago.....so I played a little with PSE and created this new one.

Its not something very fancy but it will work for now!
