Hello friends! Its that time of the year again, time to hide our credit cards and close the tabs in our browser and not look at new fantabulous (yes, I just made that word up) products from Hero Arts. This week Hero Arts is sharing a few peeks into their new Summer 2016 Catalog (to be released on April 18th) and I am excited to share several cards of mine designed specifically for the catalog.
We are starting with Color Layering (using several layers of one image and stamping it in several color of ink to make it appear dimensional and more interesting) and what could be better than sea horses, shells and the ocean?
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
Wishing You Oceans of Joy – I think this is such a fun and unique sentiment! The images I have here were stamped in several colors of ink; I used Ultra Pink and Royal Red for the darker star fish, Ultra Pink and Unicorn White for the shells and lighter star fish, Ombre Light Purple to Grape Juice for the sea horse and Summer Sky and Deep Ocean for the long shell.
I also added a few gems from the CH235 Diamond Gems pack and foam mounted my white panel onto a light grey card base.Â
Here I have photo with a preview of another background stamped onto kraft cardstock – I used Unicorn White as my base layer and added color on top:
Stay tuned for more previews on Hero Arts Blog, I’ll be sharing 2 more projects later this week.

Yana, I have been following you for quite a while, but don’t have opportunity to comment as often as I want to. Everything you create receives plenty of gazing and admiring; oohing and ahhing (I’m sure if you tilt your head towards Canada, you’ll hear me!). Your videos, your projects, your cards: you are a gifted, creative designer and we’re so fortunate you share your talents with us so generously. This card: stunning. You create magic! Visiting your site always lifts my spirits. Always!
