Hero Arts 45th Anniversary - Card 2 - Tiny Blocks

I'm mixing up the old with the new, and Hero Arts with The Stamp Market. I love how Hero Arts encourages and collaborates with other companies in the craft business. 

More tributes to the wonderful Hero Arts golden oldies but still firm favourites! 

When you have small stamps, a fun way to use them is to repeat, repeat, repeat! But you don't have to do it in a uniform manner.

Paired up with the new-to-me The Stamp Market set called Botanicals. I used the ink and spritz technique.

Hero Arts 45th Anniversary - Card 1 - Buds

When I took the photo of my early Hero Arts stamps, it made me want to ink them up again.  So I'll be using some "golden oldie" stamps but in new ways.

Here is my CAS, one-layer card ... using masking techniques and Copics for colouring, with some doodled dots ...

 ... but then I messed it up when I turned it over and there was wet ink on my Media Mat!

Ooops!

So I time for take 2! 

I trimmed off the strip with the splotch, and added a thin silver strip.

Here are the supplies I used ... I have re-organised my word stamps in categories so that they are easier to find.
