A Blog Named Hero - Fall Color Palette!

Happy Monday crafty friends! It's the 15th of the month and that means it's time for a fun new A Blog Named Hero Challenge!

 This month we are playing with a gorgeous color palette! 

I love fall, it's my favorite season. The colors, the sweaters to ward off the chill it is simply fantastic.

I used some of my favorite newer Hero Arts products for my card - the Bold Blossoms for Coloring stand alone flowers and background stamp! I love the modern lines of these flowers so much.

I started by stamping my background stamp on Strathmore Bristol smooth cardstock using Versamark ink and gold embossing powder.  I heat set my powder and proceeded to ink blend Seedless Preserves, Rusty Hinge and Ripe Persimmon Distress Inks on the background. Once that was complete I used my Distress Sprayer for some added texture. I also wiped off any excess ink on the gold embossing to make it shine.

I used my Copic markers for the flowers using RV99, RV69, RV66 and RV63 for the plum color and YR09, YR04 and YR00 for the orange.

I die cut the flowers and foam mounted them on the accompanying flower on the background. I then die cut my Hello from the Hero Arts Hello Stamp and Cut in both plum and gold specialty cardstock. I offset them and glued them to the panel.  To finish off my project, I used a mix of Nuvo Drops in matching colors and added white gel pen highlights.

Thanks so much for taking the time! Go check out the challenge
