Love the Stars

Hello! This card was made with stamps and dies from a Hero Arts kit.  I used Distress Oxide inks to create the background on white cardstock and added gold embossed stars and die cut stars from gold metallic cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Used card base of black cardstock and a mat of gold metallic cardstock.

Dreaming of You

Hello! This one layer card was made using stamps and dies from Hero Arts August Kit.  I stamped the girl in flight and cloud with Memento Tuxedo Black and heat embossed with Clear EP.  I cut masks for the girl and cloud with dies.  I also cut a mask with an oval die.  Using the masks I sponged Distress Ink Faded Jeans and added "stars" with Pilot Metallic Silver marker. Finished with the Hero Arts sentiment in the same black ink.   The card below was my first attempt at this design but I messed it up when I misted with Metallic Blueberry mist and the mist leaked under the mask and went beyond the oval.  I saved the image by cutting an oval window in a card base of White CS and attached the image under the opening.

Counting Sheep

Welcome!  I just had to make a card with the cute Sheep stamp and die in the August Hero Arts kit.  I made a Sky background inking a white CS panel with Distress Oxide Ink Faded Jeans and misted it with Metallic Blueberry Mist and Gold Shimmer Mist (from kit) and added dots and stars with a Pilot Metallic Silver marker. I stamped the sentiment Dreaming of You with Versamark and heat embossed with Wow Silver EP. Stamped clouds on Vellum and heat embossed with White Puff EP and die cut.  Stamped the 5 Sheep on white CS with Black ink and die cut.  Attached them with pop-up Glue Dots to the background lauer. Attached to a Metallic (Mirror) Silver card base and finished with a single Star die cut from the same Metallic CS.

Love You More

Hello! I have another card that I made with the August Hero Arts kit using the stencil of Moon and Stars with several of the Stamps.  I ended up using only 2 colors for the design.  I used the Stencil with Distress Oxide ink Faded Jeans on Yellow CS.  I trimmed this to fit on a card base of the same Yellow CS.  I stamped Stars, Sentiment and more with the same ink on a smaller panel of the Yellow CS  (misted this with Gold Shimmer mist) and attached off center on the stenciled layer.

Catch a Falling Star

Hello!  Playing again with August Hero Arts kit.  I made a galaxy sky background with Distress Oxide inks Faded Jeans, Fossilized Amber, and Wilted Violet on White CS. I used dies to cut the silhouette of the boy on the moon fishing from Black CS and the star from CS inked with Fossilized Amber ink. Sprayed them both with Gold Shimmer Mist from kit. Stamped the sentiment with black ink and embossed with Clear EP. Assembled all on Yellow CS. Used stamp for fishing pole.
