Hero Arts Jungle Reveal Wheel Card.

Hello, today I have a card that combines the June 2019 My Monthly Hero Kit by Hero Arts with the Reveal Wheel Dies from Lawn Fawn.
I started by stamping a selection of the images from the stamp set with 'London Fog' Memento Ink onto Bristol Paper. I then used Arteza Real Brush Markers to colour them and also added White Gel Pen Highlights. I then cut out the images using the co-ordinating dies from the kit.
Next I cut out the parts I needed for the reveal wheel from the Bristol Card. I then coloured them with 'Cracked Pistachio', 'Peeled Paint' and 'Faded Jeans' Distress Oxides and splatters of 'Rich Gold' and 'Pearl' Starlights Paint that I had mixed together to create a more subtle colour. I used the Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink that came included in the Kit to stamp the sentiment on the reveal wheel, which spins to reveal the sentiment 'Hello Friend Happy Birthday'. I then assembled the reveal wheel and added the imaged with Glue dots and 3D Foam Squares.
The background was made by light inking all over with the Oxides, before adding the stencil that also came included in the kit and inking again with the same colours. I also added more spatters of the Starlight's paint. used Kraft Card for the layering and added everything onto a 6 x 6 White Card base. I finished by adding a Kraft Arrow to show where the spinner is and some Sequins, Rhinestones and Pearls from my stash to embellish.
I hope you like this card and thanks for stopping by.

Hero Arts Happy Birthday Jungle

Hello, today I have another card to share with you that uses the June 2019 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts.  I started by stamping the images onto some Seawhite Cold Pressed Water Colour paper with Gina K Amalgam Ink and masked them off with Post-it Notes. I then used the Daniel Smith Dot Card colours to paint the background. I also mixed some 'Rich Gold' and 'Pearl' Starlights Paint to create a colour that would match the 'Ranger 'Liquid Platinum' Embossing Powder, and added splatters of these to the background.
When the background had dried I removed the masks and painted the images with Pebeo Gouche. I also added Glossy Accents to the Animals Eyes and white Gel Pen highlights. I also stamped the Elephants head dress onto some Crafter's Companion Heat Resistant Acetate with Versamark Ink and Embossed with the 'Liquid Platinum' Powder. I then cut this out and adhered it with Glossy Accents.
The sentiment was stamped onto some wood effect paper and also embossed with the 'Liquid Platinum'. The sentiment was layered onto a piece of vellum and added onto the image panel with 3D Foam Tape. The image panel was then adhered to another piece of Vellum and added onto a piece of the wood effect paper with 3D Foam Tape, before adding all the layers onto a 5 x 7 Kraft Card base.
I hope you like this card and thanks for stopping by.

Hero Arts In The Jungle

Hello, today I have a trio of cards to share with you that use the June 2019 My Monthly Hero Kit by Hero Arts.

I started by stamping the images from the stamp set multiple times onto Fabriano Artistico 140lbs Hot Press water colour paper with Gina K Amalgam Black Ink. I then painted the images with Pebeo Gouche and a white gel pen for highlights. I also added some Glossy Accents to the animals eyes and the Snake's bodies. I also stamped the Elephants head dress onto some Crafter's Companion Heat Resistant Acetate with Versamark Ink and Embossed with Ranger 'Liquid Platinum' powder. I then cut this out and adhered it onto the Elephant with Glossy Accents. I then used the matching dies from the kit to cut out all the images. I also used the vine dies to cut some vines.

The top background was made by lightly inking a piece of the Fabriano Hot Press paper with 'Cracked Pistachio', Peeled Paint' and 'Faded Jeans' Distress Oxides. I then used the same colours to ink through the stencil that came included with the kit. I then mixed some 'Pearl' and 'Rich Gold'  Imagination Crafts Starlights paints to create a colour that matched the 'Liquid Platinum' Embossing Powder and added splatters of these around the background. I then used a Spellbinders circle die to cut a circle from the side of the cards.
I then inked another piece of card and the vine die cuts using the same Oxides, but a little heavier application and the Starlight splatters. I attached this piece to a 6 x 6 Kraft Card using double sided tape and then added the stencilled background on top with 3D Foam tape.
Next I added all the images using glue dots and 3D Foam Squares to create depth in the Jungle scenes. I finished the cards by Embossing a sentiment onto black card with 'Liquid Platinum' Powder.
I hope you like these cards and thanks for visiting.
