Hello

Written by Holly Endress. Posted in Eye Candy (Projects)

Happy Friday everyone.. Holly here today with a card using the Gorgeous Beautiful day set from Altenew and a new product to the store… Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. These come in 4 different sets ranging from 12 to 36 color sets. For my card today I used the 36 color set.

I started by stamping the outline images from the Beautiful Day set onto a piece of Watercolor Paper using some VersaMark Ink and heat embossing it in White. I prepped my paper before I stamped each image with the Inkadinkdo Embossing Magic Bag to remove static. Once I had the images all set I trimmed the card stock to size.

I added some clear water with a small brush to each petal working one at a time and then I dropped in some of the watercolor and let the water move it around. I went back into the petal with a clear almost dry brush and started working towards the color to fade it out into white. I built the color up as each layer dried.

I used the colors 139 Purple for the Flower Petals, 42 Bright Yellow for the Flower center, 58 Ever Green for the leaves and 64 Blue for the outline around the flowers. These watercolors are very pigmented so you want to add a small amount and gradually build your color. They are perfect for coloring in images like these from Altenew.

I mounted the panel offset onto a piece of Bazzill Licorice Twist card stock with some foam adhesive. Then I added the panel to a top folding White card stock and I added a sentiment from the Altenew Label Love set. The sentiment is stamped in VersaFine Black ink and fussy cut it out. For a bit of Sparkle I added a few Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh with some liquid glue.

Be sure to stop by the store and check out all the new products that are arriving… Have a great weekend!

I started by created a Galaxy Background on a piece of Watercolor paper using Distress Inks in … Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Perserves,Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. I added the Distress inks in layers drying in between and then once it was dry I splattered on some Picket Fence paint and a few drops of Stain.

I die cut the panel using the Large Stitched Wonky Dies from MFT and the I heat embossed the sentiments and a few stars from the same set using some White embossing powder. I adhered the panel to a top folding White card base using some Foam adhesive.

I stamped the bear and balloon image from Space Bears onto some White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the in with Copics... I used W00, W1, W3 & W5 for the Bear and a BG 10, BG11 & Bg13 for the Balloon. I added a little BG10 around the Helmet and then covered it with some Clear Wink of Stella. I die cut both images using the coordinating died and adhered them to the card front using foam adhesive. I love how the background came out I wanted the bear to really pop against the background so I was going for a lighter center in my Galaxy.

No Line Coloring with Hero Arts

Written by Kelly Latevola. Posted in Eye Candy (Projects), Tutorials, Videos

Hello Crafters!

This past weekend I was so blessed to be able to attend CHA. While I was there I spent time with my girlfriends, ate good food, and stayed up to late all while stumbling around in a craft crazed stupor from all the pretty things. One of the pretty things included the Hero Arts booth and I was lucky enough to be gifted a new stamp set from a friend of mine. Needless to say I couldn’t wait to get it inky!

The stamp set is You’re So Lovely and it will be available February 5th in the store. Even though I love outline images and all the images in this set are solid I new I could still make it work for me, and you can too!

I put a short video together for you guys so you can see.

I think it gives a completely different look than just stamping a solid image don’t you? I love altering stamps to be something unique.

The Copic Markers I used are: C1, C3, C5, B32, B24, B26, B39, Y00, YG01, YG03, and YG25. I also used Clear Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, and Clear Pretty Pink Posh Sequins.

I used Hero Arts ink to stamp the images, but Lawn Fawn has some similar colors that are good for Copic coloring, too: Deep Sea ink is similar for the blue flowers, and Celery Stick would be similar for the leaves .

Thanks for stopping in, have a wonderful weekend!
