I shared this card using the kit over on the Hero Arts blog this weekend:

And today I’m sharing a card using two of the add-on dies!

Happy Adventuring by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

I just love that little camper fancy die so I started off by die-cutting it with white cardstock.  Then I used copics to color it.  I separated some of the pieces that pop out for easier coloring and then fit them back in.  I also removed the windows and added vellum behind them.  I stamped a sentiment from Camp in the Wild onto white cardstock with intense black ink and trimmed it down to a fishtail banner.

Next I blended wilted violet, shaded lilac, and spun sugar distress oxide ink over a piece of strathmore bristol cardstock.  I set it with my heat gun and then die-cut the forest sunset fancy die with black cardstock and layered the ink blended panel behind it.  I added my camper and sentiment with foam mounting tape and finished the card by adding a little crystal glaze to the windows.

And that’s it!

    Great cards! Love the little scenes you created. Especially like the nighttime scene with the camper – turquoise is my favorite color and it looks great against the black!

    The card with the wish you were here sentiment should say, wish I were here, because I wish I was there. Great card.
