Hero Arts | Don't Stop Believing

Hello there, today I have a card to share using the new Hero Arts Don't Stop Believing collection, which is out now! This fabulous release is Loch Ness Monster themed and is very fun! I am using the Gentle Giant Dies, along with Lake of Legends Stencils for the background. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by creating the background using the Hero Arts Lake of Legends Stencil Set. I added ink blending through the layers onto a panel of white cardstock using Ink Blending Brushes. I used Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks for the sea/ocean and sky (as well as the lightest shade for the clouds). The hills/mountains use Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks. I omitted the fish.

I then adhered the panel onto a US A2 sized white card base with tape runner adhesive. I die cut the Hero Arts Gentle Giant Die Set from Spellbinders Lavender ColorWheel Cardstock for the top layer of the Loch Ness Monster/Nessie, and Spellbinders Lilac ColorWheel Cardstock for the back layer. I added ink blending to both using Altenew Enchanted Garden Fresh Dye Inks. 

There is a die to cut from black cardstock to add behind the head to add colour to the eye, but I decided to just colour onto the back layer of the head with a Black 110 Copic Marker instead. The pieces were assembled and adhered using Bearly Art Glue. I adhered her body first to the card using thin foam tape, followed by her tail. The excess was cut off the sides of the card using scissors. 

I die cut the boat from Spellbinders Raven, Anchor and Classic White ColorWheel Cardstock. I adhered the pieces together first with Bearly Art Glue and then adhered to the card. I took the sentiment from the Hero Arts Hello friend Stamp Set and stamped it onto Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into two strips and adhered to the card using more thin foam tape.
