Hero Arts: May My Monthly Hero Countdown (take 2!)

30 Apr

Good morning!  I’m back over on the Hero Arts blog with another countdown card for the May My Monthly Hero kit!  This one focuses more on the included papers, fancy dies, and smaller stamps and it just might be my favorite!  Here’s a sneak peek:

An Ocean Full of Thanks 2 by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero ArtsAnd then I was having so much fun that I just had to make another card! 😉

Sending Mermaid Kisses by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero ArtsThis one is a lot more CAS but FULL of sparkle and shine!  I started by adhering stick-it adhesive to the back of a sheet of vellum.  Then I painted the vellum with iridescent medium and allowed it to dry completely before die-cutting the Reef Border add-on die.  I wanted the die to have a little more sturdiness so I pressed my versamark pad over the die and heat-embossed it with sparkle embossing powder for a little extra sparkle.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the kit onto the middle of a piece of dark blue cardstock and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder.  I removed the backing from the adhesive and adhered the vellum border to the card panel.  Finally I took a spectrum noir clear sparkle brush and colored the inside of the blue cardstock.  Simple but super sparkly! 😉
