A Sweet Summer Bouquet for YOU! - Hero Arts

A Sweet Summer Bouquet for YOU!

I've recently been inspired by many posts on Instagram from @li.la.o so today I decided to try MY version using all HERO products!

I first stamped Flowers for Coloring Bold Prints in Soft Brown Shadow Ink on a Snow Folded Card. Next I watercolored several flowers from Flowers for Coloring stamped in Intense Black Ink, using a combination of Dandelion, Strawberry, Deep Ocean, Pine, Moss and Black Liquid Watercolors. After they were dry I die cut them with the coordinating Flowers for Coloring Frame Cuts. This is so much fun I could do it all day… who needs the beach!? I grabbed an old paper bag and tore off a scrap for my flower wrap and arranged my bouquet inside. Using the Tag Infinity Dies, I stamped a message from Hero Florals Rose Stem in Wet Cement Mid-Tone Shadow Ink, and attached it with some twine. I finished with just a touch of glitter in the centers, because I simply cannot resist a little shimmer!

Inspiration is everywhere - I had a lot of fun mimicking one of my favorite artists today!

Thanks for stopping by!
