Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022 kit release. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. This months kit is sooo pretty. I LOVE layering stencils and this one is one of my favorite.

Adventure lies ahead with our August My Monthly Hero kit. The desert southwest is your destination as you create beautiful landscapes with the kit’s layering stencils. We’ve included four ink colors to get you started, but a rainbow of possibilities await. Add some glistening shimmer with PearlEx powder. There are dies to cut out the desert elements, and a message set with greetings that are great for cardmaking and journaling alike. Be wild and free as you enjoy the creative journey!

Here are the contents of this months kit.

• 3″ x 4″ Clear Stamp Set
• 4 Color Layering Stencils (5.25″ x 6.5″)
• 6 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 4 Ink Cubes (Caramel, Sand, Tangerine, Pine)
• 5 Sheets Luxe White Watercolor Paper (5.5″ x 8.5″)
• Bronze PearlEx (0.11 oz.)

For my card today I decided to load up on the pink. You can see my sneak peek card from Friday  here. Oh the pretty shades of the Hero Arts Core Inks made this card shine.

 

I’m huge on color combos so I keep a list of ones I like on my Pinterest board. This way if I’m struggling for an ink combo, I can look there.

 

When using any medium, try something new. You might just find your favorite way to make a card. Below is a tutorial sharing how easy it was to create this card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

I’m also sharing a card using the add-on On The Road Fancy Die. I LOVE how this card turned. My color medium was Copic makers and the window view is from the Hero Arts City Park Heroscape.

 

 

Next on the hop is Daniel. I hope you will enjoy the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022 release. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Repeating Patterns With Hero Arts

Hey everyone. I’m on the Hero Arts blog today with a tutorial showing you how to create a beautiful pattern using the new Hero Arts Tiling Texture stamp set. Also I’m using the Gold Hero Wax as well for my pop of color.

 

 

So head on over to the Hero Arts blog or Youtube channel to see this card in action. I think you will really enjoy this technique. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Hero Arts Toucan No-Line Watercolor

Hey everyone. I’m sharing a simple no-line watercolor piece using the Hero Arts Toucan Bold Print.  I love this little guy. As you have heard me mention several times, I love watercoloring. It’s super peaceful for me to create and just let the water flow.

For this card, I first stamped the image with Hero Arts Contour ink onto Hero Arts Lux White watercolor paper. When using watercolor paper, you will need to stamp it multiple times since the paper has texture to it.

 

Now my toucan needed to be bright and vibrant in color. To help me achieve the color I wanted, I pulled out my mini palette of my favorite Daniel Smith watercolors. One thing to remember when doing no-line watercoloring, you can omit areas that you just don’t want to fill in with color or make certain images bigger by going outside of the line.

After I finished my watercoloring, I set the image aside to dry. Now it was time to trim down the piece and add a back panel that matched one of the colors int he painting. I used Hero Arts Peacock paper for my backer today.

The Peacock cardstock really pulled that gorgeous blue from the image out. Needing a simple sentiment, I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Hero Arts Cockatoo stamp set. Such a find sentiment for this card and others.

Thanks for stopping by today everyone. I hope I’ve inspired you to do a little bit of no-line watercoloring with Hero Arts products. Have a wonderful day and see you back here soon.

Hero Arts Monstera Stamp Set

Hey everyone. Have you seen the Hero Arts Monstera stamp set? OMG, I love it. First of all this is one plant I’m truly drawn to. The large leaves and beautiful way it grows, has me wanting to plant them everywhere around my home. Let me show you how I used the stamp set.

I knew immediately this card needed to be clean and simple. By stamping the image in opposite corners of my panel using Hero Arts Intensi-fied Black ink it allowed me to color one with my Copic markers and leave the one white.

 

Next I used one of the small hearts from the Hero Arts Nesting Heart Infinity dies to have a place to hold a sentiment. By using the green Copic makers to color my heart, the color palette stayed simple.

 

I used a black and white gelly roll pen to add faux stitching around the heart as well as around the card panel.

Finishing off the card, I placed this panel on a Hero Arts Dove White side folding card. An easy clean and simple card. I really love how this card turned out. If you want to see more cards made using Hero Arts products, you can click here to find them.
