For my card, I blended a quick and easy background using Hero Arts Reactive inks. Next I blended on a small amount of black soot distress oxide ink around the boarder of the card for added depth. Next I splattered the panel with water and Hero Arts Iridescent Shimmer Spray. Once that was dried, I stamped the City cling stamp in clear embossing ink and sprinkled it with Hero Arts White embossing powder.

When stamping the sentiment, I used two of the inks I used for the background to have a gradient ink blend for the sentiment and the little doggy.

Below is a tutorial showing how my card came together. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel.

Here is a bonus card I made using the new Hero Arts Signpost Stamp and Cut XL. This stamp set is so pretty. I love the hanging signs you can create with it. I kept the card very clean and simple by adding just a bit of sunshine behind the sign and adding grass for the sign to sit in.

The die cut truly fills up a card panel nicely.

Next on the hop is Daniel. Don’t forget Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, December 12th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Waffle Flower Card Challenge

September 26, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m joining Waffle Flower as a guest designer for the Waffle Flower Card Challenge this week. The theme for is Halloween. Let’s see your projects and make sure to tag Waffle Flower and use the hashtag of #WFChallenge2109. Now let’s check out the cards I made.

I’m so not a spooky Halloween person so my cards are more on the sweet side. I used the Waffle Flower Treat or Trick stamp set and the Waffle Flower Inky Stripes stencil for my first card. I kept my palette more on the pastel side to make it a non-traditional Halloween card. I colored the images with my Copic markers and fuzzy cut them out. A simple sentiment and a few stamped stars and this card was complete.

My second card is even a little sweeter. I used the Waffle Flower Paint Strokes stencil in the same color palette. This time I added some sparkle gel over the stencil to get my paint strokes to look like they are sugar coated. This was such a fun technique to try with this stencil. Once again I used the Waffle Flower Trick or Treat stamp set to add on the lollipops in coordinating colors and for my sentiment that I fuzzy cut to place in the middle of my card.

Look how beautiful those paint strokes are. They feel like they just could be sugar coated. Now that would be one tasty card. 😂😂😂

I hope you join us this week for the challenge. Don’t forget to post your Waffle Flower Halloween challenge cards on Instagram so we can see them. Make sure to tag Waffle Flower and use the hastag #WFChallenge2109. Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here soon.
