A Blog Named Hero - Muted Tones

Hi crafty friends, it’s Linda here from A Blog Named Hero and this month we’re challenging you to use Muted Tones.

This can mean softer colours, dark, autumnal ones or even baby blues and yellows, we just want to see your more mellow coloured creations!

Here’s the card I made.

I used the super sweet Deco Pattern Stencil, with Soft Sky and Soft Blossom shadow inks. I then took the Happy Message Fancy Die and die cut the sentiment, adding Soft Blossom ink twice to the cardstock. I added this to a card base I made from Hero Hues Nautical Premium Cardstock.

So simple and effective!

I hope you’ll join us for the challenge, our delightful sponsors Hero Arts are offering up two gift certificates for you to win!

Thanks so much for joining us here on the Hero Arts blog! Hope to see you over at A Blog Named Hero.

Crafty hugs!
