Hero Arts Be Happy card

Hello everyone,

Yay, another Friday has rolled around and we have another holiday weekend to look forward to. The weather around here is not too wonderful at the moment but I am hopeful that it will pick up over the weekend. We were supposed to be going to a barbeque at a friend's house tonight but the weather has put an end to that so it will be supper inside instead!

I saw that





are having their Spring Sketch Challenge, and as I have never entered a Hero Arts challenge before, I decided to play along




I chose to use the bottom left hand side sketch with the tag on and came up with this contribution

I decided to die cut a tag aperture in the card and place the tag inside. I inked the Papertrey Ink tag with a couple of blue distress inks and then stamped and embossed the flower image on top. The stamp is from the Hero Arts Poetic Prints Blossom Etchings set which I have had for many years and it was good to break it out again. The stamp has a very short flower stem and as I needed a longer one for this project, I extended it with a fine tipped pen. I watercoloured the flower with distress ink, and added some glitter in the centre to add a little bling. A sentiment from Wplus9 Fresh Cut Florals, along with a couple of dots, finished the inside.

On the front of the card I stamped the Hero Arts cling Lattice background stamp and embossed it with clear powder for some shine and texture. I finally added a PTI die cut sentiment which I coated with a layer of Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

I would also like to enter this into the
