World Card Making Day SCRAMBLE

The lovely and fabulous Hero Arts Group (seriously, these ladies are amazing) hosted a fun 90 Minute Scramble today. Since it's World Card Making Day, I convinced my husband to play along with us and make something himself :)

We were in a silly mood, not often can we be found stamping at the same desk together! It was so fun, and I love what we both made :)

The challenge was to create a gift tag for an upcoming holiday, and you have 90 minutes to do it!


I used my favorite Hero Arts stamp, this lovely peacock. He's doing his best to sell all the evil turkeys he can for Thanksgiving. He wants to always be the prettiest bird on the block :) I distressed the edges lightly with a sky blue ink and a light purple ink. The little 'turkeys this way' sign was just hand drawn with silver and gold stickles added. I colored the peacock with watercolor pencils. Seriously, I'm obsessed with those things.

And my husband got busy playing along as well....



Didn't he do a great job?! The Hero Arts monkey stamps have always been his favorite, I'm not surprised he found a way to use them in a Christmas gift tag! He always thinks stickles are pretty cool, so he stickled the edge with silver, and did red and green stickle dots. He even shaded the monkeys with colored pencils, and wrote the sentiment with a silver gel pen :)

I had a lot of fun stamping with Matty for the big craft day :) Are you getting together with friends and family to craft your heart art?
