Watercoloring with Hero Arts

Hey fellow crafters,

How are we doing this fine day?

I am here to bring you a great One Layer-esque Card. All stamps are from Hero Arts. I like the sliver of blue showing on the outside of the card it's just enough to tie back into bird.  

I used all Distress Inks to stamp the layered images and the frame. Then I would take a water-brush and soften out each layer to give it a more watercolored feel. This card could be made 15 minutes or less. Just use a heating tool in between the layers. I decided to let each layer air dry. 

I am really pleased by how it turned out. :)

I am entering this card into the:

Round 2 of RIC #80 Challenge

Hello Fellow Stampers,

I'm back with a round 2 card of this week's Card Challenge. If you haven't checked out my first card please click here. Again I combined a Runway Inspired Challenge with Blog Named Hero - Unexpected and Splitcoast Stampers - Sketch Challenge SC532. Here are the inspiration pieces:

AE, Lawn Scaping and Blog Named Hero Challenge Cards

Hello my Fellow Stampers,

I have recently gotten into Card Challenges. I had NO idea soooo many even existed. I love how these challenges can be combined and give you enough structure without limiting your creativity. This card was created using the guidelines provided by AEI♥U Challenge #22 - Stripes, Lawnscaping Challenge: Dots & Stripes, A Blog Named Hero - Bright. 

As you can tell from the links above the cards were made with bright colors, stripes and/ or dots. As I was creating this post and checking the challenge rules I realized that I didn't use an Avery Elle stamp!! DUH. I clearly created this card after a long day at work. No worries though I was able to make a nice smooth recovery!! On top of that I missed the Lawn Scaping Deadline - I'm really on a roll huh! I wanted to still list them sense they were a part of these cards' inspiration. Please check out this post for card number two! Please enjoy!

Lawn Scaping & A Blog Named Hero Challenge - Bight Colors and Dots

Hello my Fellow Stampers,


Here is my 2nd card using a similar theme which you can find here. This card was created using the guidelines provided by Lawn Scaping Challenge: Dots & Stripes and A Blog Named Hero - Bright. 

As you can tell from the links above the cards were made with bright colors and dots. Such a cute combination. Granted I missed the Lawn Scaping Deadline, yet the inspiration guide is still present. I didn't have the exact color pearls in my stash, so I colored some plain ones using Copic Markers. :) That's what I love about alcohol markers you can color pearls and clear gem creating just about every color under the rainbow! Enjoy the card!
