A Blog Named Hero - Love is in the Air!

Happy Sunday Crafty Friends! I am over at A Blog Named Hero Today with some inspiration for the current challenge!

For my card today, I decided to play with the fantastic Hero Arts Watercolors! I took a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor paper and started by adding three drops direct to paper of the HA Pink Watercolor and sprayed water to help with the movement using my Distress Sprayer. I decided to add some HA Strawberry Watercolor ink using the same method to deepen the color and I also added some Distress Paint in Antique Bronze also using the same technique.

Once that was dry, I dry embossed my Love Confetti die and added some "splatter" with the same Distress Paint and added the Picket Fence and Black Soot. I put that aside to dry once more.

I took my New Day Butterflies and stamped the second largest with Versamark ink and used my rose gold embossing powder. I was careful in using my Copic markers so as not to harm my nibs and remove my embossing. I then used the accompanying die.

I took my Tonic mirror cardstock and die cut the Wonderful. I also embossed my secondary sentiment using the same rose gold embossing powder and die cut it from a banner die.

I placed all of my elements on the card panel and added some black Nuvo drops to the Butterfly. I also finished off the card with some rose gold sequins with Nuvo White Blizzard glitter drops in the centres.

A Blog Named Hero - Love is in the Air

Happy Friday crafty friends! It's the 15th of the month and that means it's time for a new A Blog Named Hero Challenge! This month Love is in the Air!

I had to use the beautiful new Flower Garden Fancy Die, I am in love with the intricate design.  So that was my starting point, I die cut it from some Tonic Orchid Glitter card stock and that decided my color scheme.

I found an inspiration picture (included below) for my birds. So I took my RV family of pinks and colored them both adding some dark grey to my larger bird. I used the accompanying dies for the branch and the birds and set them aside.

I took the nesting hearts dies and die cut a medium sized heart from Neena 80lbs cardstock and them embossed a slightly smaller on in the centre.  I took my Flower Garden die cut and glued it to the Neena 110lbs card base and foam mounted my heart slightly offset on top.

I used foam tape for the birds and branch as well. I took a smaller heart and die cut it from Simon Says Stamp Doll Pink cardstock and stamped my sentiment from the New Day Butterflies stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and foam mounted it to the card.

To finish everything off, I added some Pretty Pink Posh Jewels, some candy hearts and stamped the music notes.

Just for You

Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing some inspiration for the A Blog Named Hero Crafter's Choice Challenge!

I just had to play with the new Flower Garden Fancy Die, I am in love with the detail on this die! I die cut it from white glitter cardstock and decided to pair it with some Desert Storm Cardstock to make the white glitter pop.

I paired it with the fantastic New Day Butterflies stamps and dies, I thought this was the perfect accompaniment! I decided to color the butterfly with my Polychromos pencils on Kraft, one of my favourite coloring effects. This is a different color palette for me, I usually love bright colors, this is unusually muted for me but I love the way it turned out!

The sentiment I chose is also from the New Day Butterflies and I die cut a small tag die and stamped and embossed my sentiment with gold embossing powder I then added my Butterfly and sentiment to the card using foam tape and added a little twine to the tag.

To finish off my card, I used a mix of jewels in espresso and some turquoise Tonic glitter drops.
