Welcome to the Hero Arts Season of Wonder Release Blog Hop! I am so happy to be sharing alongside this amazing list of friends. You should have arrived from Amy Tsuruta's blog but if not, I have the entire hop list at the bottom.
You can find all the new Hero Arts holiday products HERE. It's time to shop!
I have two very different cards to share for the Season of Wonder Hero Arts Winter Catalog hop. The catalog is just amazing. Hero Arts has created a beauty!
My first card uses the AMAZING Blue Glimmer Metallic Ink. I watercolored my own striped background and set aside to dry. For my focal point, I've used the snowman and trees from Holiday Cheer. I love the graphic look to this set! I created my snow "hill' out of a white die cut circle and tucked my trees and snowman in the scene with some of the elements with foam adhesive.
*****************************
My second card uses the Color Layering Poinsettia Bundle. Hero Arts has done everything for you with this set......all the inks to help you do beautiful color layers for this poinsettia.
The poinsettias were added to a panel of red cardstock that has a layer of polka dot vellum. I gold heat embossed the centers of the poinsettias and carried that through with my die cut sentiment, Wishes Stamp and Cut, and some gold gems.
**GIVEAWAY**
There will be TWO $50 shopping sprees to the Hero Arts online store, randomly drawn from comments left across all the blogs in the hop. Comment on the blogs by 11:59 PST on Sunday, August 26.

Great cards. I kept going back to the poinsettia card to see why I was so attracted to it - after all, I've seen lots. I've even made lots and even painted lots. I think it is the vellum background, it is so subtle, but perfect for this card. Great job and thank you!
