Back to basics... (thanks, Ann!)


                                   The dramatic one...



The soft-spoken one... 




   .... Which do you prefer? :)

I stumbled upon this great blog {A Blog Named Hero} over the weekend... that features Hero Arts stamps. 


.... playing with their current challenge, which gave me a great chance to ink up my HA stash.... And what a big stash it is! My very first stamp was HA... back in 2002. 

The woodgrain bkgr, however, is WPlus9. I truly wanted to keep them all Hero Arts... they have a great woodgrain stamp that I have yet to get my hands on. It's definitely on my list!

Both your cards are lovely. If I had to select one over the other I would say the soft spoken one is more my colors. I love the grey background. Thanks for sharing, Yuki.

So so pretty!!!

It's hard to pick a favorite! I love seeing two versions of a card in different colors--each has such a unique feel to it. Beautiful stamping with the woodgrain!

Gulp, we have to pick? :) They are both a vision - each one with it's own personality and flair! But I *had* to pick just one, I think I'm drawn to the bottom card because I adore the 'cool' colors like greens and blues and purples - so yes, that one .... super sweet cards, just as you are! x0x0

OK, I just stopped and stared at this one, so pretty, love how you did the background and the flower, so it just stands right out. I love them both, guess if I have to choose, it would be the first one. Oh, the inspiration here.

Ann said...

Mmmm..... love the dramatic one - I love the silhouette effect! But the soft one is very pretty too and I love the wood background. Oh decisions, decisions!

Tina said...

How did I miss this post? Love both, the contrast of the stamp silhouette against the light background is fab!
