Hero Arts: May My Monthly Hero Kit Blog Hop + Giveaway + VIDEO

Happy Monday!

It's time for a new My Monthly Hero kit from Hero Arts.

And again, Hero Arts never ceases to amaze me with their kits and products. This month's kit is another that you don't want to miss. It is all about Under the SEA!!! 

If you are following the hop you have probably arrived from Emily Midgett's blog and your next stop is Jessica Frost-Ballas.

 I decided to go with a pull tab interactive card today where the jelly fish and sea horse come out from behind the coral image. I also used one of the add on bold prints called Inverse Bubbles. Also at the bottom of this post I have another card using another Add On Bold Print called Naturallis Patern. I had a background I made using gel press and reactive inks. I stamped the background using Embossing ink and embossed using White Satin pearl embossing powder, then just added Big Hugs die cut.

Hero Arts: May My Monthly Hero Countdown to Creativity

  Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! Today we are starting the May My Monthly Hero Sneak peeks! And it's an AH-mazing kit! It's no secret that I love all of them.

I love all the images in this kit! This month theme is ocean!!! All the images in the kit are amazing and the large one is perfect also for slim line cards! The kit also includes coordinating dies

The kit goes live on Monday, May 3rd at 10am PST/1pm EST.
To make the card I started with panel of white card stock and stamped the largest image using the Hero Arts Contour ink (an ink cube of this ink is included in the kit!!!). This ink is perfect for no line coloring. So, I used my Copics and Faber Castell Polychromos pencils to color the image. This took about few hours, because I am a slow colorist. Once done I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5 1/4", stamped sentiment using Intensi-fied Black ink and added few clear enamel dots and adhered to a Sand top folding note card using craft foam.

Spellbinders: Darling Hugs

Hi everyone!

Second post for today! This time I am sharing a clean and simple card using the new Delighful Darlings collection from Spellbinders. I used two of the sets from the collection: Darling Hugs (sentiment) and Darling Bouquet for the image.

To make the card I started by foiling the Essential Duo Lines Glimmer Rectangles on a piece of 3 3/4" x 5" card stock. Next I stamped the image and sentiment using black alcohol ink friendly ink pad and colored with copics. Once done, I adhered the panel to a piece of Beeswax card stock measuring 4" x 5 1/4" and then to a Turquoise Sea top folding note card.
