Heroarts' weekly challenge addict???

I'm a Heroarts' weekly challenge addict??? Haha. Maybe this is true. But true or not, I'm sure it's worth for me to spend time to create for the theme every week. of course, I have to work. If I make time for creating, I hope to make at least one card per a week. I made two simple cards, 'cause I didn't make enough time this week. Here is the card, 'you're special (Birds N Branch)'.

The challenge theme of this week is 'favorites'. I have many favorites among the Heroarts' stamps. I featured this time 'Birds N Branch' and 'Old French Writing' which I frequently use them lately.
This design is easy to make, so I'm going to use it for friends, family, relatives, co-workers etc in the future.
Technique I used: Old French Writing stamp was stamped with Shadow Ink Soft Stone, because I wanted to add a little nuance using light color ink. Put a black gemstone a little off-set on a tiny punch-out circle (on a black flower), like googly eyes. I intend this to be bird's eye. Haha...

Birthday Wishes (three ferns)

I made this masculine card for the Heroarts challenge, and for my dear person. (I don't want to open his name, to escape the risk on the internet traffic.)

Technique I used, etc.:
Again I used the clear emboss resist technique.
Dye inks I used are HA Shadow Inks and Ranger Distress Inks.
Stamped the Three Ferns stamp 3 times with dye inks, and in the end, stamped it once with StazOn. Since the stamps says quite a lot, a kahki green ribbon slider was left blank.
'Birthday Wishes with a candle' is other manufacturer's stamp.
I love Inkadinkado's designa as much as I love Heroarts' stamps
