I'm absolutely thrilled to be celebrating
Hero Arts 45th Anniversary with four cards I created with the brand new From the Vault images! These images and stamp sets feature incredible stamps that from the past five decades! Let's all honor Hero Arts and all they have done for this incredible industry. I know that one of my very first stamp sets was an alphabet set from Hero Arts. That set led to the purchase of the Shadow Stamps and that led to more and more stamp purchases throughout the years! I can't thank Hero Arts enough for all they do for our industry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Hero Arts!
And, now, let's get on to the projects!
The background for my card was created by trimming varying widths of Hero Hues Cardstock and creating a diagonal pattern. I placed Stick It Adhesive on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of printer paper, peeled off the backing and than placed the Hero Hues
Cherry,
Peony,
Mist, and
Paradise cardstock strips on the background at a diagonal. The edges were trimmed, the panel placed on a white top fold card base and the strip added to the top as shown.
For my first card I stamped a sentiment from the
From the Vault Birthday images on Bristol Smooth cardstock using the new
Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed the greeting with white embossing powder. I stamped the stack of packages around the sentiment as shown with the
Clear Embossing Ink, heat embossing with white embossing powder. The images were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and the background was watercolored with a blue marker and a water brush pen.
New Hero Hues Reactive Inks in
Lemon Drop,
Pool Party, and
Grape Slush were blended over the image for the colorful background. Water was spritzed over the images for distressing. Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers were used to add color to the Filly.
