Happy Monday! Welcome to the Hero Arts July 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit Blog Hop. If you came from my amazing friend, Lydia Fiedler’s blog, you are right on track!
To celebrate the release of Hero Arts’s July 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit, I’ve created a card with a fun stamped background featuring the following stamp sets from Hero Arts: You’re Sweet As Pie, Food Puns, We Go Together.
Video Tutorial
I made a video tutorial to show you how to create my one-layer card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube.
This video includes:
- Things to consider when you choose images from different stamp sets for creating a custom background
- Stamping the sentiment in a perfect placement when you use a wood mounted stamp
- How to stamp your images in balance when you create a stamped background
- Masking technique for creating a one-layer card
- An easy way to find a color combination for your coloring project
- Simple ways to add interest on your stamped/colored background
- Various ways to use the dot technique
- Not good at blending/shading? But it’s okay because…
- My messy craft desk after my project is done!
I started by drawing a circle shape on a piece of A2 size white cardstock using the 2.8″ circle die from the Nesting Circle Infinity Die Set and a pencil. Then I stamped the sentiment inside the circle frame using the Thanks For Being You Stamp with black ink.
Next, I first stamped the large images outside the circle frame with Altenew Permanent Black Ink. Then I stamped the small images to fill in the gaps. I masked off some images along the way to create an illusion of depth to my stamped images. FYI, I used a mix of images from these stamp sets: You’re Sweet As Pie, Food Puns, We Go Together.
Then I colored my images with Copic Sketch Markers. I didn’t add too much shading on the images, but simple coloring to enhance the simplicity of my treats. I added some small yellow/pink dots between the images using the tip of Altenew Artist Markers to add interest to my background.
After my background was done, I mounted my stamped panel onto A2 size top folding white card base using Altenew glue tape. I finished off my card by adding some tiny dots and dash lines on some images using a white gel pen.
