Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge 9

Hey there - I'm playing along with the current Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge, running until Thursday June 11.

I just love sketch challenges and had fun with this one - first, here's the sketch, from Julee Tilman (Poetic Artistry):

Here's my take on it:

Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Sunshine A2 card (retired); 

various Lawn Fawn 6x6 patterns

Stamps - Hero Arts CL184 Thoughtful Messages (retired)

Dies - Hero Arts DI128 Daisy Cutting Set by Lia Griffith (retired), 

DI197 Tag Infinity Dies and

DI145 Kelly's Documented Stamp & Cut (retired)

My Favorite Things Blueprints (retired)

Other - Memento Rosebud ink; Michael's gem;

Hero Arts ribbon from some My Monthly Hero kit

I loved Julee's inspiration card with the neutral papers! I chose something a little brighter for my mom's friend Dot who likes color & flowers. I substituted a tag for the rectangle element - just love these Infinity Tags!! I tend to have my sentiment on the right so I arranged my sketch elements running that way. Before the pandemic closed stores, I found some retired Sunshine A2 card packs - love, love, love!! Please, can you bring these back Hero?

I bought a bunch of these Hero Arts/Lia Griffith flower die sets years ago and haven't used any until now. Not sure why not; they're darling! Especially love the veins on the leaves in the Daisy set I used today. Sorry but now I can't find it to list the name - duh! Guess my crafty clean-up went a little too far!! Since this is my first time using the flower die, I will add to Darnell's NBUS challenge for never-before-used schtuff. ** Update - found the set in its packaging sitting under my address book - I was getting cards ready to mail and it got covered!! I added it to the supply list.**

Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe, healthy & crafty!!
