Hello and welcome to another United We Flourish collaboration between Ellen Hutson and one of the fabulous companies we work with! This month that fabulous company is Hero Arts and here's a look at the awesome stamp and die combo set, Better Together!
Here's a look at a card I created with it:
Aren't those birds adorable?!! And SO MUCH fun to color! I stamped the birds onto Neenah 110 Lb. Solar White cardstock, die cut them with their coordinating dies, then colored them with Copic markers.
Next, I die cut a window out of another Solar White panel using the Strands die from this month's Essentials by Ellen release and used this as branches for my birds to perch on! The birds were popped up on foam tape and the little heart stamp added to a black cardstock panel behind the window. The heart was colored in with Pearl Kirarina Wink opaque pen.
To finish the card, I added the sentiment on the front panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, accented with the tiny heart stamped in Love Letter. <3

I’m a birdperson and love the brightness of the birds. The background really makes those birds POP with great color. Beautiful card! Got to remember how Black makes color stand out. Great inspiration!
