Team Tuesday with Hero Arts

I am up on the My Sweet Petunia blog today sharing this card using the July My Monthly Hero Kit.

To make this card, I started with a white top-folding A2 card base and a white panel. I used the panel to cut out the Citrus Frame Die. While this set includes dies to cut everything out, I love to color, so I placed the die-cut frame on a mini sticky mat to hold it in place. I then placed the sticky mat on the Petunia Platform and added a Power Mag so I could easily rotate the platform as I colored.

After I got it all colored I added it to the card base and stamped my greeting in the center using the Mini Misti. To finish the card I added die cut flowers over the flowers on the frame and I added some texture to the lemons with a gold metallic marker.

I am up on the My Sweet Petunia blog today sharing this card. 

I started out by using the Mini Misti to stamp the image because when you stamp on textured watercolor paper it is hard to get a clean image unless you use the Misti of course.  After I stamped my image, I placed it down on the Petunia Platform and held it with the Power Mag so I could paint it without it moving around.

The set I used is a new release from Dare 2B Artzy “Let Hope Bloom” I water colored the image using Distress Reinkers and then cut it out with the coordinating die. I created a subtle background for the image using the Lacy Leaves stencil, also by Dare 2B Artzy.
