A Blog Named Hero is TWO YEARS OLD, and we're celebrating with a blog hop. If you are hopping along, you should have arrived here from Stephanie Klauk's blog. If you'd like to start at the beginning, please head on over to the ABNH blog. The whole hop list is also at the end of my post.
Here's my card:
I love the Hero Arts Single Starburst when it's embossed so it resists ink. This time I spritzed it with Distress markers and a spritzer instead of using Distress inks and a blending tool. So fun, and it makes me HAPPY!
BONUS: Two wonderful companies -- Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp -- have offered up prizes, so make sure to leave comments on all the posts to increase your chances of winning! You have until 5pm EDT April 15th to leave a comment. Winners will be announced soon afterwards! And a big THANK YOU to our sponsors!
Now hop on over to the crazy-talented Shari Carroll's blog!
Thanks for stopping by!
