Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero May 2024 Challenge - Tea For Tw

Hello everyone!  The May 2024 Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero challenge begins today on the Hero Arts (HA) blog .  The theme is TEA FOR TWO… or two of something.

*please note: affiliate links used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you… thank you! 

HA products used:
▪️Thank You Flowers press/foil plate 
▪️Sentiment Strips die 
▪️Glitter Paper Basics paper 
▪️Pitch Black cardstock

Since Mother’s Day is on Sunday, I created a CAS (clean and simple) card with two flowers and two letter m’s. 


Instead of foiling, the flower press/foil plate was inked in black and pressed onto thick white cardstock using the BetterPress system from Spellbinders.  The plan was to leave it as is, but I couldn't do it 😂*lol* and had to add shading.  I did compromise and added shading only to the leaves with a grey Polychromos pencil. 🤗 


The ”m-o-m” letters were die cut from white glitter paper and ombré coloured with R14/27/46/89 Copic Sketch markers.  The sentiment strip was white heat embossed on pitch black cardstock then die cut out with the coordinating strip die.  Assembled the card onto a white card base and finished off with a few clear jewels from Memory Box.  


How would you like to win one of two HA $50 gift cards to their online shop?  Simply create a new project following the theme using at least one HA brand product, then link it up on the HA blog HERE.   If posting on Instagram, make sure to tag @ablognamedhero and include hashtag #staycraftychallenge.  One winner will be randomly selected and the other voted on by the design team.  Challenge ends at 5:00 pm PT on June 2, 2024.  Thank you for stopping by.

So classy, Trina! It would be hard not to add color to these pretty flowers, but leaving them makes the beautiful sentiment stand out!

What a great take on the challenge with two roses and two "m's". Love the roses left plain without colouring.

A stunning card. I love that it’s the letters that bring color to this design, the flowers being left neutrally colored. Thanks for sharing this with us over at Inkspirational.
