Hello there and welcome to the Hero Arts August 2022 My Monthly Hero Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. Both the kit and add-ons are now available in store to purchase. The release this month is called 'Not All Who Wander Are Lost' and features lots of beautiful landscapes and travelling themed products. I have two cards to share with you today - one using the main kit and the other with two of the add-on products.

I then took the second stencil and placed it on top to create the definition lines. I used Tangerine and Papaya for these layers. I then also used the same inks for stencil 3 & 4 for the cactus. I die cut it out using the coordinating Frame Cut in the kit. I took another panel of cardstock and die cut a circle from masking paper to add to it to create a sun.
There is a sun (or moon) as part of the stencils but I wanted the positive piece. I blended on the same Tangerine, Papaya and Butter Bar Inks for the sky but this time added in
Hero Arts Dandelion Core Ink too. I removed the mask and then blended it with the Dandelion Ink. The background was adhered to an A2 white card base with thin foam tape and the mountain/cactus piece added on top with thin foam tape as well.
I adhered the sentiment piece on top with thin foam tape. I then added tape runner adhesive on to the back of the vellum, only adding it behind where the sentiment is. It was then adhered on to the background panel. This was then in turn adhered to an A2 card base made from
Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock.

Sunshine and desert rocks...that's exactly how I remember my visit to the southwest. And, you captured it brilliantly with your kit card. Thank you for this beautiful work.
ReplyDelete2 wonderful creations. The use of the Butterbar ink is wonderful. The sign in the second pops for attention.

Beautiful cards. That orange just pops! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the tone on tone color you used in the first card. I love both designs , they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIlike the colors you chose for the first card.
ReplyDeleteThe second card would be great for an encouragement card.
Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic cards! I really love this scene in orange and yellows.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I love the colors and dimension on the first one!
ReplyDeleteI like your choice of colors on both cards.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors! The bright orange on the scenery card and the lovely pastels on the second card.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are awesome! Love the dimension and colors on your first card! Love the colors and design on the second one!
ReplyDeleteLove the placement of the sun in the first card. Very evocative.
ReplyDeleteThe golden tones on your first card are great. And the second one with the subtle background and vibrant sentiment is super, too!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the Roadside messages card. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love them both Michelle! The gorgeous orange warm tones are just perfect for the desert, it's such a striking card in tones of one colour. And the second card is stunning with the soft colours against the black. So cool that you managed to get such a soft pastel blend with those Reactive Ink colours. I'm far top heavy handed to manage that.
