Summer Themed Clean and Simple Cards

Hello, and welcome to the Hero Arts 2017 Summer Catalog Blog Hop. If you came from the amazing Wanda’s blog, you are right on track! To celebrate a release of 2017 Summer Catalog Collection, I created FOUR clean and simple one layer cards. Here are what I came up with:

Hero Arts-Summer Catalog-May Park-4

For my first card, I started by creating a sea themed background using ombre inks: Mermaid and Tide Pool to Navy. After stamping the shark head image from the Narwhal stamp set, I stamped a variety of sentiments from the Narwhal stamp set to form a shape of shark body.

I created a tropical scene using the Color Layering Parrot stamp set which offers layers of parrot goodness to stamp in just about any array of bright colors. I used various Hero Arts Shadow Inks for a fun, colorful look.

For the next card, I stamped the unicorn image from the Unicorn Stamp & Cut. Then I created a hill image by stamping a heart image multiple times. After coloring my images with Copic markers, I stamped the sentiment from the same set to finish off the card.

For my last card, I stamped the rainbow image from Unicorn Stamp & Cut repeatedly to create a sea with waves. After masking off the waves, I stamped whale mages from the Narwhal Stamp Set and colored them with Copic markers. I finished off my card with the sentiment from the Manatee Stamp & Cut.
