Celebration Day 4!!

Hi there and welcome to day 4!!

Today we've got some really gorgeous cards for you to see as our Guest Designers continue to bring the magic using their favourite Hero Arts stamps!

The theme is

Without further ado, here are todays cards!

Kelly Rasmussen made this beauty

 

WOW. what a great way to use up small scraps of paper in a way that looks NOTHING like scraps! And who doesn't love background stamps?! So bright and cheery.

In typical gorgeous style, Lucy Abrams made us this:

**edited** The adorable foxes in this card are actually from the stamp! To make them facing each other Lucy simply cut off the head and tail (no foxes were harmed in the making of this card though :)) and put them on the opposing side for one of them! HOW COOL!
(apologies for our earlier text saying this was a digital card)

And Hero Arts Flickr Group sweetheart Lin Brandyberry created this stunning number!

Notice how Lin used the Hydrangea stamp to create the background 'patterned paper'  too?! Just genius!

Well that's another three amazing cards for you!

Please come back tomorrow for our final day of this wonderful Celebration week!

We can't thank you all enough for your support and excitement. It means the world to us.
