Whaley Cool Rainbow Inspired Friendship Cards | Hero Arts | MMHK 02/22

Happy Friday Friends!

I hope you have all had a wonderful week. I have been busy crafting away with the My Monthly Hero Kit February 2022 from Hero Arts. This month's release is inspired by the art of the Surrealist masters and the magical imagery of dreams. Dreams can be so strange. It makes you wonder how and why sometimes you dream such weird events. Guess it is what inspired some masterpieces by many artists. Take a look at this month's kit valued at $75 if sold separately for only $34.99.

KIT INCLUDES:

• 6” x 8” Clear Stamp Set

• 15 Coordinating Frame Cuts

• 2 Sheets of Black Watercolor Paper (5.5" x 8.5")

• Watercolor Dot Dream Palette (18 Dots)

• Water Flow Brush

So let's take a look at some Whaley Cool Rainbow Inspired Friendship Cards that I made using the February Add-Ons.

 

CARD RECIPES

To begin, I die-cut the whale from the Dream Accessories Fancy Dies and then used Copic Markers to color it in. 

Next, I found a background I had made a while ago using Atelier Reinkers, that I thought would make a great background for this card. If you have the Hero Arts Reactive Ink Reinkers, you could create a similar background by saturating a watercolor piece of cardstock with water and then adding the colors.

I then blended out the edge of the clouds using coordinating ink to match the background and glued the pieces together.

The greeting comes from a couple of sentiment stamps from the Dream Messages set, that was stamped out using Intens-ified Black Ink Pad.

I then embellished the card using sequins and glitter.

For this next card once again, I had pre-made the background this time using Atelier Inks. Onto the background, I then used the Swirls and Dots Bold Prints Rubber stamp to add white lines using Unicorn Pigment Ink then heat setting them with White Detail Embossing Powder.

Next, I used the Watercolor Dot Dream Palette from Daniel Smith set that is included in the My Monthly Hero Kit February 2022 to add some extra detailing to the background.

I once again die cut the whale from the Dream Accessories Fancy Dies, this time only coloring in the black of the eye.

The sentiment comes from the You Sparkle stamp set, which I stamped onto black cardstock and heat embossed in white then fussy cut.

For a touch of sparkle, I used the Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen to add texture and shine to the dots in the design.
