I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and the Clear Set + Dies of the Month.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. Hero Arts does silhouettes well and they are perfect for creating a little scene. The images also allows me to take advantage of white space for a card! I stamped out my ocean image with Hero Arts Summer Sky Core Ink and that is what my card revolves around. I next stamped out the sailboat, the birds and the sentiment using Intens-ified Black Ink. To add a bit of color to the card, I ink blend Butter Bar, Ultra Pink, Orchid and Summer Sky for a sunset look. I also realized after the fact that my “ocean” was actually meant to be clouds BUT I guess that just shows how versatile this set is!

My second project features the Clear Set + Dies of the Month, which features mermaids and seahorses. I really wanted to do a scene card BUT I opted to go for a simple one to challenge myself since I find the harder for me. I picked out three Hero Hues reactive ink colors: Blue Hawaii, Pool Party, and Splash along with a card panel of the Luxe Watercolor Paper to do some ink smooshing! I used a plastic bag to achieve this fun look — first by adding the ink to a palette or glass mat, spraying a little water and picking up the color with the plastic bag and transferring it to the watercolor paper. My tip is to not use much water so you can get some of that texture. I stamped the mermaid and seahorse, coloring them up with copic markers before using the coordinating die set to cut them out to add to the card panel, which I matted on Peacock cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the two cards I shared today using some of the new Hero Studio collection. Hope you were inspired to create!
