Hero Arts April Challenge

Today I’ve got a project for the current Hero Arts challenge!
Last week, while visiting my family in California, I was able to take a tour of the Hero Arts factory….which is only minutes away from my hometown! Who knew!?
I intended to take tons of pictures during my tour but instead, I was busy drooling over the aisles and aisles of rubber stamps and shiny, new Hero Arts packages.
I did snap this one photo:
It took everything in me to not grab that pile of rubber stamps and make a run for the door!
I was so impressed with their system! Everything is done by hand – matting the stamps, cutting the stamps, packaging the stamps – even the wood blocks are made on site!
Needless to say, I left the Hero Arts factory with a few goodies in hand, including this adorable set that I am loving!
I combined this set with one of the sketches in the current Hero Arts challenge and here’s the result!
In place of the patterned paper strip from the sketch – I used a fun, colorful bunch of balloons!
Now it’s your turn to enter the Hero Arts Challenge! Entries must be submitted by tomorrow so hurry up and create something!
Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!

Keep on crafting with these other posts
