Hello, and welcome to the Hero Arts Winter 2016 Release Blog Hop. If you came from the amazing Mariana’s blog, you are right on track! Today the creative team girls are sharing some fabulous projects to celebrate the release of Winter 2016 products. Here is what I came up with :
How to Make a Winter Holiday Card
- Create a circle mask using Hero Arts Circle Infinity Dies and Cuttlebug Diecut Machine out of a sticky note.
- Mask off the circle and ink the colors on a piece of white card stock using Tide Pool to Navy Ink and mini ink blending tool.
- Remove the mask and ink inside the circle with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink and mini blending tool.
- Add white splatters on the inked background with Hero Arts Unicorn White Spray and let it dry.
- Stamp the images from the Hero Arts Holiday Animals stamp set with Memento Tuxedo black ink on a piece of white cardstock.
- Color the images with Copic sketch markers and die cut them with Holiday Animals frame cuts.
- Stamp the trees from the Vintage Christmas Wishes stamp set with Unicorn White Ink.
- Stamp the sentiment in black on a semi-circle panel and mount it on the bottom of the card using foam tape.
- Finish off the card by popping up the images using foam tape.
