I won my First Place on Hero Arts Challenge

I wanna blog this since my first won on Unexpected Colors challenge 5 weeks ago.. Here is my winning card.. At that time I chose friday's color combo: soft robins egg-purple-pink-green-turqoise blue to make this birthday card for my dear friend Mary who will celebrate her 55th on Nov 25. I did not have any internet connection at that time and I only take a note for the color combo from what i saw in office. Even i'm not sure what is the turqoise color. When i uploaded to HA pool, and saw other cards are holiday theme, I realized I made a mistake. I'm so ashame and willing to off my tag but then I saw Tiffany already left one. So I thought let it be.. maybe maybe nobody knows my mistake.. And then a week later, I'm so surprised when I got called from Vera. She said I won.. woow can't believe it my card got recognized. Supplies: HA stamps: CG114, CL340, LP156 and HA digi-friendship definition. Ink: memento black and distress ink shabby shutters. Paper: local cardstock, PP, vellum. Embellishment: gingham ribbons, string, gems, and paper flowers. Colored with copics sketch. Now, I got surprised again when I got another call from Vera.. My card is honoured as first place in 2010 Catalogs Sneak Peak Challenge.. I'm so thrilled, Lisa Spangler choose my card among so-many-wonderful-entries in the pool last week.. I do believe in miracle.. This is a Christmas miracle for me.. I created this card based on Lisa's sneek peak#6, i love her color combo, all cute girls in Sweet Wonderful You set. Even i love her frame shape and decided to make my own frame shape... I only use CL357-holiday dolls set, stamps all the snowflakes to create the background, colored the dolls with copics, paper piecing and layers the doll's outfit 2-3 times.. At last i drew the hair line in her piggy tail with copics, so sorry if my photo could not show it clearly here. This card will be sent to my special friend which always support me with her warm emails. She loves pink and so cute like this doll.. Supplies: HA stamps: CL357-holiday dolls Paper: all from my stash Ink: memento dark cocoa Colored with copics sketch, white dotted by Sakura souffle pen from Vera (Thanks Vera!!) Embellies: gems, glitters and nail polishjavascript:void(0) I can't wait to see the reveal of all 2010 Hero Arts Stamps today on blog hop..
