Birthday Leaves

Birthday Leaves

Hello. Today I am sharing a simple ombre card, created with the gorgeous Foliage Bold Prints stamp.

Birthday Leaves by Lucy Abrams for Hero Arts

To create my card, I first stamped the Foliage Bold Prints on white cardstock with Ombre Lime to Forever Green Ink. Next, I splattered the panel with green watercolor paint to create a more messy and natural look. Once dry, I stamped the Happy Birthday Script on top with Black Ink. I made sure to stamp the sentiment on the lightest color part of the leaf panel so it really showed up against the green.Birthday Leaves 2 by Lucy Abrams for Hero Arts

To finish, I adhered the stamped panel to some green card and added some stitching to the top before embellishing with a few coordinating sequins and pearls.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you have a lovely day.

MMH_Release

Release day is here! We hope you’ve enjoyed all of the peeks leading up to today’s launch of our My Monthly Hero April 2016 kit! Be sure to scroll down to the end of this post – we have an amazing list of bloggers joining us today as we introduce this kit. And another kit is up for grabs, too!

For this month's kit, we've combined a gorgeous stamp set with everything you need to dip your feet into watercoloring! We also designed dies that will give your flowers gorgeous dimension. You can cut out the full flower, cut it out in layers, or use a Paper Layering-style die to pop up portions of the flower!

The kit contents include:

  • A 4×6 clear stamp set.
  • A set of four Frame Cuts dies, designed to cut and stack the flower into a layered element. Stamp the rose four times to use with these dies.
  • A Paper Layering die, which allows you to pop-up a single stamped rose for a different dimensional look.
  • A dot sheet of DANIEL SMITH watercolors in a palette specifically selected for Hero Arts. Each dot of paint allows watercoloring of 2-3 images, to give you an introduction to these wonderful paints.
  • A waterbrush.
  • Heavy cardstock in cream and white, notecards and pearls.

This month's kit has been paired with several optional add-on products, too! First, the Happy Mother's Day stamp set we mentioned yesterday. It's great for those cards for mom you'll soon be making - and enough versatility to use beyond Mother's Day, too!
