Hiya! It's Amy of Tsuruta Designs guest blogging at the CLASSroom!! I could not have been more thrilled when Ellen asked me to step in for the day!
I pondered what I wanted to show you and thought that I'd highlight some of the new Hero Arts Silhouette images...
My first card teams up the It's a Parade with Basic Grey Curio:
I used Versamark for the image and embossed it in black. I love the opaque finish with heat embossing, it really shows off the image. I finished off the card with black seam binding ribbon from my stash. The card base is 6x6.
Next up is the new Hero Arts Musical Walk with Basic Grey's Hopscotch line:
I wanted to show a fun card version using this particular image. The card base is Memory Box Vanilla Bean and the gorgeous blue panel is Memory Box Bayou. All the patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Hopscotch. The very sweet Musical Walk has been Versamarked and embossed in a chocolate brown. I think that the brown gives the image a more playful look rather than using black. I inked up the Musical Walk panel and the heart shaped chippie with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

Silhouettes are definitely a hot trend in the paper crafting industry right now...I love their statement of femininity and charm...how about you?
Thanks so much for stoppin’ by and a ginormous shout out to Ellen and all the staff and designers at Ellen Hutson LLC. I appreciate all your hard work and the inspiration you give me!
