Thought I'd post a card I made for a DT member, the very talented Lisa (aka The Purple Place) who had some surgery and is on the mend. Here's hoping the time will fly by and you'll feel better than ever very soon, Lisa!
I used my favorite butterfly stamps from Hero Arts, lots of Stickles and my new flower stamps from Hero Arts. I used a hello die cut from Papertrey Ink—it also gets a lot of use!

So happy that our March challenge over at a2z Scrapbooking is coloring with Hero Arts stamps and stencils. Coloring in images is relaxing and fun and it's always interesting to see how people interpret a challenge. I'm planning to learn something along the way from the Design Team and the participants...maybe you'll be one!
Here's the card I made using the technique of stamping in white on kraft and then coloring on top of the white images with Prismacolor pencils. I'd seen other people do this technique and decided to finally give it a go. I thought it turned out great—the white ink really helps the colors pop.
If you hop over to a2z, you can see a closeup of the coloring and the little matching gift bag I made for the card, using the same technique.
Hope you join us for a chance to win $25 to the store and also to teach me your coloring tips!
Happy Wednesday,
Chark
