You've Been Spotted!

Good morning! We're back with another "Spotted" feature and we have some amazing cards to share with you today. We are searching out Hero Arts creations and featuring some of our favorites. And the best part, one of our spotted features will receive a $25 gift card to the Hero Arts online shop!

First up is this pretty floral card by Kelly featuring lots of Hero Arts goodies! We love how the Script Bold Prints background pairs beautifully with the Togetherness Bouquet and the classic Thanks Stamp and Cut. Kelly's cool blue palette for her florals just makes us smile!

Robin is giving us some serious tropical vibes with this cheery birthday card!  She cleverly used the Color Layering Palm Tree Frame Cuts to create her palm silhouette. She also used the Color Layering Sea & Sky for that great cloud and the Color Layering Mountains at the Lake Frame Cuts for her purply hill. That fiery color palette just makes us want to sit and watch the sun go down on a tropical beach with a pina colada in hand!

Next we go under the sea with this beautiful card by Irina featuring our retired Color Layering Octopus! She's created tons of depth and dimension in this card with her use of blues and we love the shimmery silver embossed sentiment.

Claire created this gorgeously watercolored card featuring our Succulent Bouquet. That pop of purple really catches your eye and the mix of teals and greens is simply stunning!

And last but not least Meg takes us back to the ocean but this time to a sandy shore! She used Hero Hues cardstock and Sand Embossing Powder to create this amazing shoreline. Those cheery starfish from Seashells Fancy Dies are just the perfect way to finish the card!

This month's randomly chosen $25 gift card winner is Kelly!! Please contact us at info@heroarts.com to claim your prize and include the subject line "Spotted Winner". And for our other Spotted favorites, we'd love for you to display this badge proudly on your blog or social media!

That's it for this month! We love to see what you create and thank you for sharing your creativity with the papercrafting community! We'll be back next month with more favorites. So get to creating and share your projects on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, your blog...we'll be looking everywhere! ;)

Happy stamping,
