There’s Always a Rainbow

Happy Saturday everyone!  It’s Caren, today I’m sharing  a card that fits this month’s challenge of combining old and new.

ABNH_06272020

The stamped the rainbow/cloud image and sentiment from the May My Monthly Hero kit onto a white card panel using black ink.  I colored the rainbow and clouds with Copic markers. The plane and balloon dies are also from the May kit.

For my yellow panel, I used an old Hero Arts background stamp called snow dots.  I adhered this panel to my white card base and added dimensional foam adhesive to the white panel and placed it on the card.  To finish off the card, I added a few lime green jewels from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to join in on this month’s challenge!

It’s Been Too Long

Hi everyone, it’s Caren here today bringing you a clean and simple card.

ABNH_05272020

Anyone else feel like it’s been too long since you saw your friends, ate out at restaurant, or went to a store?  It’s been weeks for me!

Anyway, I used one of my all time favorite stamps sets to create this card – Safari Wild About You.  I used three different shades of yellow/orange distress inks to create my background.  I then stamped the animals, tree, and sentiment in black ink.  I layered this onto a black panel with dimensional foam adhesive and added the panel directly to my white card base.

Birthday Fishes – Watercolor Waves

ABNH_04272020

Hello everyone – I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

I have card today featuring water colored waves.  To create the waves, I stamped the Ocean Wave background stamp with embossing ink and Hero Arts white detail embossing powder on water color paper.  I then used blue water color over the embossed image and die cut the paper with wave dies from my stash.

I colored the three puffer fish from the I’m a Puffer for You stamp set and colored them with Copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies.  I adhered the waves and fish to a white card base.  I stamped the sentiment and wave accent from the same stamp set to finish the card.

Trio of Tags

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.  It’s really hard to fathom what is going on in the world right now.  I hope that sharing some craftiness can bring a little sunshine into your day.

I’m sticking with this month’s challenge theme of Anything but a card in today’s post.  I made three different Christmas tags using various inks and stamp sets from Hero Arts.

For my first tag, I ink blended a white tag and a stencil with two ink cubes from Hero Arts – Lime Green and Forest.  I then stamped the holly image and Merry Christmas sentiment from the Mini Christmas stamp set, colored the small images with Copic markers, and added a couple of jewels to complete the tag.

My second tag uses the Hero Arts Blue Reactive ink and the Stacking Snowflakes stamp set.  I stamped one part of the snowflake in the blue ink and heat embossed the second layer with silver embossing powder.  The sentiment is from the November 2017 My Monthly Hero kit.

The third tag features more ink blending with blue inks and then I overlayed a snowflake stencil and used the Unicorn White Hero Art ink.  The stamps for this tag are from the Winter Silhouettes stamp set.

Unbearably Thankful

Hi Everyone!  It’s Caren here today sharing a Thank you card using the cute Unbearably Thankful stamp set and frame cuts.

ABNH_02272020

I used a hexagon masking stencil and ink blended on white card stock and adhered this panel to a black card base.  I stamped, colored, and die cut the images from the Unbearably Thankful stamp set and adhered the images to my card using dimensional foam adhesive.  I then stamped by sentiment from the same stamp set.

Thanks for visiting.  There is still time to join this month’s challenge – Birthday.  Today’s card could easily be used as a birthday card by just changing the sentiment.  So what are you waiting for – join the challenge today!

Birthday February
