Hello, and welcome to the Hero Arts 2018 Spring Catalog Blog Hop. If you came from the amazing Cathy Zielske’s blog, you are right on track! I created two cards to celebrate a release of 2017 Winter Catalog Collection.
For my first project, I created a bold floral background card using the Flowering Magnolia stamp from Hero Arts Spring Catalog Collection. I started by stamping the image a few times on an A2 size black cardstock with Altenew embossing ink.
After I heat embossed the images with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder, I colored them with Prismacolor Colored Pencils. Here is the list of the colors I used:
- Flowers: Pale Vermilion(PC 921), Carmine Red(PC 926), Crimson Red (PC 924), and Magenta (PC 930)
- Leaves: Chartreuse (PC 989), Spring Green(PC 913), Apple Green(PC 912), and Grass Green(PC 909)
I heat embossed the sentiment from the Make A Fountain stamp set with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder on a piece of white cardstock. Next, I trimmed my sentiment into a banner using a craft knife and ruler.
I finished off my card by mounting the sentiment banner on the card front using 3M foam tape to give some dimension.
Video
I made a video tutorial to show you how to create my card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube.
For my second project, I created a fun background using the plate image from the Alphabet Soup stamp set. I started by stamping the images randomly on an A2 size Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock with Versamark Watermark Ink.
Then I heat embossed the images with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and colored them with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens. FYI, here is the list of the colors I used: Yellow(No.050), Pink Flamingo(No.222), Turquoise Green(No.042)
I adhered a sheet of vellum on my card base and mounted my spoons and heat-embossed sentiment banner on the card front using 3M foam tape. By the way, I used the sentiment from the Welcome Neighbor stamp set.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe
you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two
pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
