Let’s shell-ebrate

Hello all lovers of Hero Arts. I’m here today to thank you all for celebrating with us the last month. We have received lots of beautiful projects and you sure do make the selection of the winner hard for us. Stop by tomorrow to see who will win the Celebration prize.

I also want to show you my last inspiration card for the Celebration theme made using the “Pet turtle” stamp set as my inspiration jump off. I stamped and colored the relaxed turtle using my copic markers and then I needed to create the rest of the card.

I remembered the layered sea stamps that I got in my June 2018 My Monthly hero kit and that you can also buy separately now and I thought it would be perfect as a relaxation spot for my turtle. I stamped the ocean using the Deep ocean, summer sky and soft sky ink blocks and also lightly colored the sky using the summer sky ink. I cut a slit in my sea and put the turtle in.

I stamped the sentiment “Let’s shell-ebrate” from the “Pet turtle” stamp set on the top part of my card panel. And now I needed a few more bits and pieces. I stamped and colored the clouds and flying seagull from the “Seas the day seagulls” set and glued them close to the sentiment and I also stamped an colored the bottle with the message from the “You & me by the sea” set and placed it on the sea as well.

I thought I was done at this point and glued my card panel to a white card base and then I saw a leftover light post from a previous project lying around on my desk (The light post is from the MMH October 2018 kit). The light posts bottom part looked just like the handle on a fishing rod, so… with minor surgery it became just that. I drew on the fishing line and hook and “attatched” the fishing line to to the bottle. A perfect last detail to the card.

I wish you all a lovely day.
