Hi everyone! Happy Monday – and a fun Monday it is actually! The brand new Hero Arts Summer 2023 new catalog just launched! And we are celebrating the new catalog with a big fun blog hop! Prize information, supplies, and hop information are all at the bottom of my post! If you're new to my blog – welcome! Nice to see you! And of course, welcome back to all my stamping friends! Thank you to Hero Arts for the invitation and the beautiful new products! I always love working with Hero Arts!
I am aware that some of my project photos are still missing from random blog posts! I can't fix it on my end (ugh) and I'm waiting for Typepad to resolve it for me. Thank you for being patient while this all gets ironed out. It's been super frustrating! Photos are my mode of communication and it's making me kinda cray cray!
My card for today's hop features the brand new Butterfly Transfers (so pretty), the brand new Scallop Rectangle Infinity Dies, and the Brand new Mixed Textures stamps! I also used some of my previously released favorite things from Hero Arts! My card took on kind of a vintage/mixed media vibe and I love how it came out!! My finished card is an A2 cream cardstock card base. I layered kraft woodgrain paper and then a cream tag for the focal point.
Here's a side view of my layers. I used foam tape to pop the tag up from the card. Everything is nice and inky too!
These new Butterfly Transfers are SO BEAUTIFUL! And really just super easy to use! I used three different transfers onto cream cardstock and then die cut them out with the matching dies. I splashed on some gold watercolor paint and set them aside to dry to make the rest of my card.
I used the Mixed Textures stamp set to stamp pretty text, clock faces and a fleur de lis too! To make the tag I used the Hero Arts Nesting Tags Dies. I used three shades of Distress Inks to create a nice wash of matching colors behind the butterflies. All the stamps were stamped with brown ink. On the edges of the tags I rubbed on Embossing Ink and gold embossing powder for shimmery accents.
I used the sentiment from the Tropical Flowers set and inked it onto a banner…. I inked it up to match the feel of the tag.
Once the tag was dry I used liquid glue to glue down just the centers of the butterflies. While the glue was drying I used my bone folder to hold the bodies in place and held the wings up with my fingers. I love this look!
A bit of twine and some old Hero Arts Pearls from my stash!
Thank you for joining me today for the fun Hero Arts Summer 2023 Catalog Blog Hop! Have a great week! XOXO
