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:

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:

    Sweet card!
    I ate a couple Oreo Crisps in Mint flavor
