Watercolor Flowers!

Happy Thursday! Kim with you here this morning sharing a fun watercolor card!

I decided to use one of my favorite Hero Arts flowers the Antique Rose Stem.

I stamped it repeatedly on my watercolor card stock with my Versamark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I heat set the flowers each time I stamped to make it easier to see my next stamping section.

I then colored my flowers with my paints, this is such a fun and relaxing project watching them come together as you build layers with the color. I decided on a rainbow, who doesn't love a rainbow and I added a wash of light blue over the background.

I added my Hero Arts Thank You sentiment die cut from woodgrain paper and the sub-sentiment from the Hello Stamp and Cut. I had originally wanted to add black paint splatters but I forgot... So I simply added a few black dots with the dot from the Happy Stamp and Cut.

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

Hero Arts - Use Your Favorite!

Happy Thursday crafty friends and welcome to the first A Blog Named Hero challenge of 2018! This was a fun challenge to prepare for, I have so many favourites from Hero Arts but I managed to narrow it down, lol!

Let's talk a bit about the favourites I used today (all products listed at the bottom of this post). I started with inks, I love Hero Arts ink. They were the first ink line I invested in and they are still, not only my favourite, I have never needed to re-ink them!

The Thank You die was my starting point, this was probably the first large word die that I purchased when it was released and I just love the size and font. I figured what is better than a rainbow to frame a bold sentiment!

Another favourite product line for me are the stencils! I took my Diamond stencil with a piece of HA Radiant White card stock and went to town and ink blended Bubble Gum, Fresh Peach, Butter Bar, Lime Green, Soft Pool and Cornflower Shadow Ink and Orchid Bold Ink. Once I removed my stencil, I went over the panel again with a light blending of all the same inks. I die cut the panel with the new Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies (these dies have my little heart!)

I die cut my Thank You from a piece of Radiant White card stock with fun foam and StickIt to give it dimensions and turn it into a sticker. I then used a secondary sentiment from the HA Hello Stamp and Cut and I white embossed it on black card stock.  I placed my sentiments on my panel and finished the design with some HA gems from the Neutral Mix.

Thanks so much for taking the time! Go over to A Blog Named Hero for more inspiration and to enter the challenge!
