Today I finished my Hero Arts Challenge for this week. The challenge was to use a stamp two different ways on two cards.

On my first card I used it as a background to contrast similar paper that I had purchased on my last trip to Victoria (British Columbia, Canada). The paper was from Fan Tan Art Gallery which is downtown.

Here is the first card:


I like how that turned out. I even used gold pen on the stamped flowers for more contrast.

The second card I used the stamp on "shrink it" and did the flower in different colors and then placed them on white ribbon. I then decided to shrink a butterfly image too. Here is this card:


I think they turned out pretty good. I haven't put in an entry for some time now so I'm kind of nervous.
