Good morning!! It’s time for another STAMPtember exclusive and today it’s one of my favorite companies: Hero Arts!! Vintage Real Flowers is a beautiful floral silhouette set with fun scripty sentiments! If this is your first STAMPtember all month long Simon Says Stamp will collaborate with your favorite stamp companies to produce exclusive sets! These sets are ONLY available until they sell out and will not be restocked. Most collaboration sets sell out EVERY year so I highly recommend snagging yours early!
Here’s what I created!
I really enjoy these distress resist techniques as you can see a similar card here but today I decided to play with a slightly more vibrant color palette! To start I blended cracked pistachio, broken china, and faded jeans distress oxide ink over a panel of strathmore bristol cardstock. I splattered the panel with water, blotted off the excess, and let it dry completely. While that was drying I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a thin label.
Once it was totally dry I stamped several of the silhouettes from Vintage Real Flowers onto the panel with versamark and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I went back over the panel and blended evergreen bough over the cracked pistachio area and blueprint sketch over the broken china area. I also added a little chipped sapphire at the top of the panel. Then I splattered the panel with water again. I also added splatters of white acrylic paint, chipped sapphire distress oxide ink, and cracked pistachio distress oxide ink for lots of variation in colors and textures! Once everything dried I finished the card by adding the sentiment with foam mounting tape. I considered adding sequins or gems but decided that it had enough going on! 😉
Remember, Vintage Real Flowers is only available until it sells out so don’t wait too long! 😉 Thanks so much for visiting, have an amazing day, and Happy STAMPtember!!

These colours work beautifully on your card with this lovely stamp. My faves have been Picket Fence, The Stamp Market and The Greeting Farm sets.
Love your card and the colors that you chose. The Hero Arts, Vintage Flowers is now my favorite. I liked Gina K’s but it sold out too fast.
I love the Lawn Fawn collaboration stamp set from last year. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was so adorable.
Such a beautiful card. The colors are awesome and I love the technique. My favorites so far are Honey Bee, Brutus Monroe and Simon’s Fall Frenchies. I saw the pumpkin Frenchie card you did on Simon’s website and decided I had to have it. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have to admit Vintage Flowers is my favorite. I have seen it before but your card really hooked me. I love flowers and the distress oxides too!
I love the reverse confetti leaves stamp and die set and the hero arts stamp set from the SSS stamptember so far. Love the distress hero arts card Jessica. So gorgeous!
Lovely card. I really like the Mama Elephant set and the Pink Fresh Studio set.

Besides this one my other favorite is the Stamp Market set.
My favorite was the Art Impressions and I missed it!
The Hero Arts is my favorite so far!
I love this beautiful card. Jess! Great technique & wonderful vivid coloring! This is my favorite of all the Stamptember sets. Gina K’s was awesome but this one is much more versatile.
This is just gorgeous!
