Card Process:
I started by using the Distress Oxide Inks (Squeezed Lemon, Picked Raspberry, Broken China) and randomly added ink to the solid background stamps to create the reflective tones on the buildings. These soft, yet vibrant colors mimic the essence of a fresh city, reflecting all the excitement of an evening stroll.
Next, I stamped the street view using the Street-view HeroScape Bundle, filling in the skyline with the layered stamps to create the depth of the urban setting. The black lines were stamped with the Intens-ified Black Ink Pad, which brought out the bold contrast I needed for the buildings and road.
To create the road, I stamped on black cardstock and used the Unicorn Pigment Ink to draw in the lane dividers—this small detail made the scene come to life. I then trimmed the cardstock and built the scene around the road.
For the finishing touches, I added the City Park HeroScape Frame Cuts clouds from a retired set (Hero Kit DECEMBER 2021), softly placing them in the sky to contrast with the bustling city. To the sky, I added a soft blending of Broken Chin DO ink. A sprinkle of black gems added a little shimmer to the scene, completing the design.
The sentiment, "Let’s Get Lost Together," from the same HeroScape Bundle, speaks to my personal connection with this card. It reminds me of the times my husband and I have wandered new cities together, letting the streets lead us to unexpected adventures. There’s something so special about sharing those quiet moments in unfamiliar places.
This card not only reflects my love for urban landscapes but also the joy of exploring the unknown with a loved one by your side. Whether you’re a fan of cityscapes or just want to create a card with a meaningful sentiment, this HeroScape set offers endless possibilities.
What places have you explored with your loved ones?
