Colorful Garden Window - Hero Arts

Colorful Garden Window

Hello, friends! It’s Channin here to share a bright and colorful card that I created with the Window on the Garden Fancy Die and the Color Layering Mountains at the Lake stamp set. I combine several simple techniques (stamping, ink blending and Copic coloring) to build a rich and dimensional scene!

To create this card I first die cut an A2 panel (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) of white cardstock with the Window on the Garden Fancy Die. I then Copic colored all the foliage.

Violet Flowers: V01 + V06; Branch: E33 + E35; Leaves: YG61, YG63 + YG67
Indigo Flowers: BV02 + BV04; Leaves: G14 + G85
Yellow Flowers: Y15 + Y1; Centers: YR04; Leaves: YG63, YG67 + G85

Next, I positioned the first stamp for mountains from the Color Layering Mountains at the Lake stamp set in a MISTI then stamped it in Green Apple Reactive Ink onto the front of an A2 top folding card base. I then positioned the detail layer for the mountains and stamped it in Pine. I then created a mask for the mountains and ink blended a sky with several Reactive Inks (Lemon Drop, Creamsicle, Taffy and Grape Slush). Next, I masked off under the mountains and ink blended the water with Splash and Blue Hawaii Reactive Inks.

I then added foam tape to the back side of the panel and adhered it to the front of the card base. Next, I stamped a sentiment onto black cardstock in embossing ink and heat embossed it in white. I then trimmed it down with scissors and lastly adhered it to the card with foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card! Thank you so much for stopping by!
