Another Birthday Card using the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April Card Kit

Hello Again!

Here is another birthday card using the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April Card Kit.

I was trying a technique that Jennifer McGuire had of inking up  some card stock with Distress Oxide Ink and then spritzing a stencil with water and then leave on top. Her examples were just magical on how it showed the stencil. Mine... not so much. 

I was still gonna use it so I used various images from the stamp set  and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

The sentiment flourish bits are also from the same stamp set.

I used my go to embellishment of some Nuvo Jewel Drops to add some interest. 

I had a extra image that I added to the inside.

Thank you for visiting!

Birthday Card using the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April Card Kit

Happy Tuesday!
I am excited to share this card I made using the April Hero Arts My Monthly Hero card kit.

This was not what I thought I was making when started but I was really happy with how it came out.

I had first ink blended the Hero Arts Fiesta Teal and Fiesta Yellow inks. I thought I was using Bristol card stock but realized the ink was just sitting on top. Realized that in fact it was some Yupo paper.

I thought, no worries, I will just then use some Alcohol Inks on top and make it work.  I actually like how the alcohol inks reacted with the inks that were already on the paper.

Alcohol Inks Used:
Purple Twilight
Turqoise
Rose Gold Mixative

All of the images come from the stamp set in the kit and were colored used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I cut the Ornate Floral Border Die from some dark gray card stock.  I attached it to the background only on the edges so that the floral bit were not flat and raised up a little bit.

I heat embossed the sentiment using watering can embossing powder and got the paper a tad hot and it puckered a bit.
You know I am not starting over so instead I attached hose two flower images to cover the boo boo.

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope to see you next time!

Fiesta TIme Card using the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April Card Kit

Happy Friday!
Today I have a card I made using the
Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April Card Kit. 

This was my first card kit from Hero Arts and definitely not the last.

I first made the black and white background but then as stamping I made a stamping boo boo and needed to fix.

I decided to cut off the part at a angle and attach it to a piece a created by blending the Fiesta Yellow and Fiesta Red inks that came in the kit.
Since they are a reactive ink I flicked some water on to it.

All of the images and sentiment come form the stamp set in the kit. I colored them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker.

I am happy that the accident happened because I never would have had to improvise to create this!
I love the contrast of the black and white section to the colorful upper piece.


See you next time!
