Let’s get into the cards I made for today. For my first card I have a tutorial using products from the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Premium Kit! Using the ephemera from this kit made it super easy for me to create this card. By keeping the background super soft, the butterflies and sentiment take all the attention. Love this card.
By adding in just a little bit of green splatter to the card, it pulls the green down and makes it all work so well together.
Here is the tutorial for this month’s card. You can watch it here on the blog or over on my Youtube channel @danajoy.
For my bonus card, I used the Words Of Peace Bold Print. This is by far my most special card I have made. Starting off with the beautiful Hero Arts Two-Tone Metallic Sprays on Dove White Cardstock really makes this card colorful. Next by stamping the bold print in Words Of Peace in embossing and watermark ink and heat setting with gold embossing powder we create a wow factor.
For an unexpected element, I created a hole in the center of the card and folded back the piece to look like a sun burst. Next I grabbed a white card base and centered the colorful panel on top. By doing this, I was able to create a spot to put a peace sentiment in the middle. For just a touch a glam, I added a few sparkle and gold matte gems to the card.
All products I used are listed below for your shopping convenience. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you. Before I go, let’s chat about giveaways.
