Hero Arts | July 2021 My Monthly Hero Countdown

Hello there and welcome as we countdown to the release of the Hero Arts July 2021 My Monthly Hero Kit. Release day is tomorrow, Tuesday 6th July 2021 and we have been sharing inspiration all weekend long using the kit (the kit releases a day later this month due to July 4th celebrations). Be sure to head over to the Hero Arts blog for all the inspiration in one place. The kit this month has a wonderful magical feel to it and today, I thought I would create a card using one of the fairies in the kit. 

I started off by taking the images from the main kit stamp set and stamping them on to a panel of white cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink. I stamped the mushroom house first, masked it off and then stamped the leaves to the right and the flowers to the left. I did make masks for these too. 

I took a piece of memo tape and masked off the bottom of the scene. Using an Ink Blending Brush, I then blended on Splash and Grape Slush Reactive Inks for the sky. I moved the memo tape to cover the top of the scene and blended on Key Lime Fizz and Green Apple Reactive Inks for the grass. The masks were all removed and I coloured the images with Copic Markers, adding small dots to the sky and grass as well (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area). 

I stamped the sentiment below the house and then stamped the fairy on to a separate piece of cardstock. The fairy image does have stars around her but I masked them off before stamping. She was coloured using Copic Markers and fussy cut out (there are Frame Cuts in the kit but the die for this fairy would cut out the stars that I masked off). I adhered the panel flat to an A2 white card base and added the fairy on top with foam tape.
