A Blog Named Hero 5th Anniversary: Let's Celebrate







I'm so excited to be a part of the A Blog Named Hero 5th Anniversary Celebration!  I'm a former Guest Designer and also participating on behalf of Hero Arts, a Sponsor for this fun Hop!  You should have arrived here from the fabulous Melissa Chipperfield's blog!  If not, you'll want to start at the beginning of the hop which is A Blog Named Hero.

This is Day One of a Two Day Celebration:

A Blog Named Hero is so thankful for our wonderful sponsors and collaborating companies!  Several companies decided to help us celebrate our fifth anniversary with giveaways and they were so generous that we decided to spread the love over both hop days with different prizes to be won each day!  Giveaway prizes total more than $500!  To win, leave a comment on each hop stop.  We will select winners randomly from different blogs so the more blogs you visit each day, the greater your chances of winning!  And be sure to visit A Blog Named Hero on Sunday for the list of Sunday hoppers and prizes!  Comments must be left before 11:59 PM EDT on Tuesday, March 28th and winners will be announced on March 30th.

Today's prizes include the following: 

$50 gift card to Hero Arts
$40 gift card to Pretty Pink Posh
$35 gift card to Lil' Inker Designs
$25 gift card to Newton's Nook
$25 gift card to Paper Smooches
$25 gift card to Winnie and Walter
$25 gift card to The Ton  

$20 gift card to Right at Home
One Online Card Class of your choice

Here's my card that I made especially for today's hop:


I started with the Hero Arts Celebration Words Stencil inked up with Mint Julep Shadow ink.  Love the contrast of the Pool Mix Layering panel with black.  

The sentiment is from the Invitation Themes set.  It has been embossed in white on black cardstock.  The Coffee Cup Tag Frames has been inked up with the Antique Rose stamp in Mint Julep.  


That's it for me...now hop over to the amazing Wanda Guess' blog!

I'm linking up this card to the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

I like the colors and how you used vellum to soften the background.

I like that you didn't just color the cup a solid color. Choosing the rose stamp with a light color was the way to go.
