I had fun creating a background using Distress Oxide inks this week.  I love the way they just melt into each other – and these three colours just go so well together.  I kept the rest of the card clean and simple to create a card perfect for a Dad’s birthday or even Father’s Day!!  By the way, our sister Challenge (the Monday Team) have a masculine themed challenge this week so make sure you link up your creation to both challenges for two chances to win!!

As soon as I saw the words PINK and HERO ARTS together I knew I had the perfect stamp set for this challenge.  The Colour Layering Flamingo set is possibly my favourite Hero Arts set of all time.  I’ve used it so much and I’ll never get bored of it!  For the background I stamped one of the images from the Brushtrokes set from Tim Holtz in Cracked Pistachio Oxide Ink.  I spritzed some gold Heidi Swapp shimmer over the top and set it aside to dry.  Meanwhile I stamped my flamingo using 3 different Simon Says Stamp inks (listed below) using the MISTI to make sure everything was lined up perfectly and added the beak and legs in Smoke ink.  I die cut the Hugs from black glitter paper using the Avery Elle Simply Said: Hugs die and cut a strip of MFT striped grey paper before assembling everything on the front of the card.  I finished it off with a few little dots of Nuevo jewel drops in Rosewater here and there.

Hey there!  It’s a fabulous new challenge and this week we’re featuring Tim Holtz products.  As I’ve said before, I sometimes get a bit intimidated by TH stuff – I’m not an inky type really.  However, I LOVE his stencils and this Autumn Leaves one is gorgeous!  I used a few different Distress Inks to give a variety of shades on the leaves and the Thank You sentiment is cut using the Thank You die from Avery Elle.  I added a border strip to add a touch more detail to the design and finished off with a few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
