Happy Holidays And A Happy New Year

 Hello everyone.  I'm back with a fun Holiday card for the Stay Crafty With A Blog Named Hero December Challenge Deck The Halls.  I loved using my Hero Arts products for this card.

I thought it was fun to get some of my Hero Hues inks out and use a New Stencil that I got for Christmas called Holiday Pattern.  I love that this stencil has birds, trees, candy canes and more.  On a creme colored paper 110 pounds I used Hero Hues inks in Cherry, Periwinkle, Splash, Spicy Mustard, Blue Hawaii, Green Apple, and Espresso. I also use a little bit of gray ink from a Charcoal ink cube. So much fun I love a Holiday background with these bright colors.  

Next, I used a Rectangle die 2nd to the largest from the Infinity Nested Rectangle dies.  I then used a word die from the Christmas Holiday Stamp and Cut Set.  I cut out the word die 3 times with white paper 110 pounds.  I chose to use my small blending brushes to ink one of the die-cuts with the same inks used to match.  I then glued all my die-cuts together.

I also stamped and Heat embossed a sub sentiment on black paper 85 pounds with the Unicorn pigment ink and white embossing powder.  I then cut my sentiment using a paper trimmer. 

I glued everything to a A2 top folding card base 110 pounds.  My sub sentiment was added with a foam strip and my Holiday Pattern background was added with foam,  My word sentiment was glued with liquid glue.  I chose not to used any embellishments on this card.  I love how it came out and you still have time to participate in this challenge.  I know most of us still have out Holiday crafts still on our desks.  Wishing you Happy Holidays and A Happy New Year.
