Hello there and welcome as we countdown to the release of the Hero Arts July 2024 Hero Studio Kits and extras, which release on Monday. Yesterday was the peeks of the Card Kit of the Month and today we are focussing on the Monthly Minis. For my card, I am using the Clear Set + Dies of the Month.

disclosure.
For the background, I took a panel of
Yupo Paper and added a layer of Isopropyl Alcohol on first, I then dropped on my favourite colour combination for water of Tim Holtz Alcohol inks on top -
Aqua,
Patina,
Mermaid and
Turquoise. I added the lightest ones first and dried in-between all the layers using the
Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Blower. Once I got the panel as I liked it, I splattered on Isopropyl Alcohol to create the droplets/bubbles in the water. I then set it aside to dry.
Once dry, the mermaid and fish were adhered on top using thin foam tape. I then adhered the panel to a
Hero Arts Clear Card with more thin foam tape. I created panels of cardstock for the inside and back of the card to hide the adhesive and also give me somewhere to write a message inside the card.
I stamped the sentiment from the set onto more white cardstock using
Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. It was die cut out with the coordinating die. I also cut the die again from white cardstock and adhered the stamped one on top (for added dimension). It was then adhered to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I embellished with
Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots.

ReplyDeleteYupo and alcohol inks are on my to do list. Well when I get a chance to ordering them. Right now I'm slowly building my supplies and those are definitely on my wishlist. Love the inspiration tfs
ReplyDeleteI thought I commented, but it didn't go through, so here I am again. I had said previously that: Alcohol inks and yupo are on my to do list. That is when I eventually get them ordered. Since I'm currently building my craft supplies, those two are on my wishlist and I hope to make something like this when I eventually do. Tfs
