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

https://shrsl.com/37kwj

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.

Hello Magnolia Friendship Card | Ink On 3


 
Hello Magnolia Friendship Card | Ink On 3

Hello Friends and happy Friday!

Today I am sharing a card featuring the BIG BOLD MAGNOLIAS Stamp set, that I previously had colored for the last Kathy Raccosin's coloring challenge. I love participating in her challenges because I end up with a ton of colored pieces ready to go on a card.

CARD DETAILS

So to begin, I stamped out the images first onto Bristol paper using BLACKOUT INK. I then colored the images in with Karin Brush Marker Pro Brushpens that were new to me and I wanted to test them out. Once the water coloring was dry I went back to add some pencil detailing. I then place the colored images back into the stamp positioner and re-inked the images using JUICY INK this time.

Next, I sprinkled GOLD RUSH EMB. PWD. over the panel and then heat set the lines in. As you can see some of the BLACKOUT INK is still showing through some areas, but that didn't bother me as it looks like a shadow line. Please note, when you watercolors the paper will warp a little so linning it back may not be perfect unless you use non-waterbased media. I then die cut each flower up using the BIG BOLD MAGNOLIAS coordinating dies and glued them on to a strip of cardstock that I had added the same gold embossing using the LEAFY FOREST STENCIL.

To finish, I die cut, stacked and glued together the Hello from the DOGWOOD coordinating die set. Before adhering it all to the card base I diluted some of the red I used on the flower and added splatters onto the card front.

I hope you have been inspired by this Magnolia Friendship Card. 

Thank you for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Mariner Mermaid Card - Ink On 3


Hello friends!

Have you ever seen a sexier mermaid stamp?! I haven't... Wowzers 😜

This beauty comes from Ink On 3's latest release! For this card, I didn't want to stamp the mermaid in black ink and I really didn't want to do a no line watercoloring. So I thought I would experiment by stamping the image out using frayed burlap oxide ink and I love the results. The stamped line once it came in contact with the watercolors oxidized and lightened the lines giving it a semi no line watercolor look.

To color the mermaid in, I used my Tombow Dual brush markers. Once she was dry I then fussy cut the entire image out. This is a fairly large stamp so it wasn't as difficult as it looks but I did need the help of my retractable PenBlade.

To create the background I wet the paper and then lightly touched the wet areas with Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers. These colors are so vibrant a little goes a long way. Just before the area dried I then used my distress spray bottle to splash and spread the ink around. I repeated that a few times with different colors, using my heat tool to help speed up the drying process. Once the entire background was done and dry I sprayed the background again this time picking up the droplets with paper towel.

To finish the card I then attached some jewelry chain to the anchor and used a metal wire to secure it to the top of the card panel, bending and taping the wire to the back to secure it in place. I then attached it to the A2 sized cardbase, sandwiching the wire in between both layers. I did not glue the mermaid down as I wanted her to swing freely on the front of the card. (see previous image)

Here is a closer look at the details 😍
