Good morning! I am so honored and thrilled to share a secret I’ve been keeping for a little while! I am joining the Creative Team at Hero Arts! Eeeek! I’ve been pinching myself ever since I received Jana’s invitation and I cannot wait to get started! To celebrate, I created a card to say hello! 🙂 And don’t forget to stop by the Hero Arts blog to meet the other new Creative Team member! 😉
And I discovered something new in the process…the Hero Arts hybrid inks blend gorgeously on cardstock! To begin I blended Orchid, Crimson, and Mulled Wine hybrid inks onto my cardstock with a blending tool. Then I flicked it with a little gold spray and set it aside to dry. Next I die cut the City Skylines from black cardstock. I pressed a versamark pad over the bridge die-cut and then heat-embossed it with Brass embossing powder. Once my background panel was dry I adhered the skyline and adhered the bridge with foam mounting tape. I liked the brass embossing powder so much that I wanted to find another way to use it on my card. I took a few diamond embellishments, smooshed them into my versamark pad, and then heat-embossed them with brass embossing powder to create matching metallic embellishments.
Finally I used the Luggage Tag Alphabet to stamp my sentiment with Intense Black ink and then adhered my colorful panel above! If this is your first time visiting my blog I feel like this is a fairly good representation of my style: colorful with just a little bit of sparkle! 😉 I hope you’ll stop by again and I look forward to sharing Hero Arts creations with you very soon!

Jess, my number one favorite is the girl and the dog. I lost my Irish Setter, Knobby Stiles, this year (2016) so that card really hit home. The mood of this card is perfect. Your colors are awesome. About five of your cards hit the favorite category. Shiny and bright. I feel good about life when I see your work/designs. Thank you.
Amazing news! Huge congrats. I would love to see ‘scenes’ and watercolouring.
Congrats! Any company would be lucky to have you. I love interactive cards so I would like to see more of those. I discovered your blog when you were a guest designer for Jennifer McGuire and I am so excited to go back and admire all of your past creations.
Congratulations! Well deserved! I’d love to see some CAS card designs with a little watercoloring with Distress inks or markers.
