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. 

A Grad Card for Team Tuesday

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

To make this card I started with a white card panel placed inside the Original MISTI and stamped the peony background using VersaMark ink and embossed it in gold powder.

Next, I placed the embossed panel on a Mini Sticky Mat and then placed it on the Petunia Platform and held it down with to Power Mags.  Let me tell ya, it didn’t move at all. (Tip: if you do not have the Petunia Platform just flip your MISTI over. The magnets will stick to the metal plate).  I used the layering stencils to color the flowers.

To finish the card, I cut the panel in a diagonal and then out the “2 & 6” using number dies by Hero Arts and adhered the to the panel.

 

Humming A Prayer

Sharing this card using another one of our new release sets, Nectar Kissed. This is one of the new release sets and it's beautiful. I love the sentiment that I used from the set. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of watercolor paper. I stamped the hummingbird and the floral image on the watercolor paper and watercolored it using distress re-inkers. 

I stamped the greeting on a black strip and embossed it with white powder. 

Focus Firday

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.
