YOU + ME Love Hero Arts, is the card that I have to share with you today. This month the a2z Challenge has as theme Sentiments and I found YOU + ME to be the perfect sentiment and inspiration to create.

Yes, the second layer was originally white but I transformed this using the ink pad Ombre...

Layering stamps are very popular but you don’t always have to use them in the same way. You can use these to create different looks and today I am sharing one of this possibilities, the shadow stamping with different inks. Using  VersaMark ink, stamp the outline image over a piece of card stock randomly. Cover the stamped images with Gold Embossing Powder, remove the excess and melt the powder with the heat tool. Then using StazOn Azure,...

Directions: Take a piece of vertigo sheet . These sheets come in different designs. For my project I used the Taffeta design. Apply...
