Hi friends! All month, I've wanted to get an entry together for the Hero Arts January Contest! I finally made my card this weekend and got it posted over on the Flickr group! Yay! I love doing this contest and seeing everyone else's entries. The themes this month were either 1) a color challenge or 2) Anything about LOVE! I chose the LOVE category, and used the super cool new cityscape stamp that's been sitting on my desk waiting to get inky! There is still one more day to get your entry in!
I inked the large cityscape first in light gray ink directly onto the paper. Then, I inked it a second and third time in darker gray ink and cut the buildings out.
Here are the supplies…Isn't that the coolest stamp?
The sentiment is also from Hero Arts, but I forgot to take a picture of it! I used a border punch that had tiny hearts in it to get those little red hearts for the card. I popped it on some nice, bright red and then on gray Bazzill paper.
I think the card ended up having a "Sex and the City" vibe or "When Harry Met Sally" vibe! What do you think? This card would be good for a far away friend or love.
Thank you for stopping by here to spend a part of your day! I appreciate it! Have a great week and I'll see you soon.

I should hang this card on my bulletin board to insprire me to get to NY! Love it.
Loving that card and I love that stamp, been looking at it for a while now but I feel this has to be in my collection so off to buy it, I like the new Hero Arts newsprint stamps too… hows Buddy doing? my 3 are all OK, although my kitten is 5.5kg at 8 months old so methinks he’s going to be a big boy!!!
What an AMAZING card Wanda! Love how you layered the buildings! The hearts are a perfect touch! 😀
My gosh, did you ever rock that city scape stamp, Wanda! This is FAB! Love the gray and red color combo you used, too.
Another case of, “Wish I’d thought of that” Thanks for the inspiration with such a great card, Wanda. Love it!
I love this so much Wanda!! It DID make me think of Sex & the City – and also Sleepless in Seattle, when the Empire State Bldg lights up with the heart. LOVE!!
