Life's A Beach Right Now! A Blog Named Hero's Watercolor Challenge!

Hello!

Welcome back to another "A Blog Named Hero" post featuring our current Watercolor Challenge.  It's not too late to enter for one of two Hero Arts Gift Certificates!!

This card features a watercolor background made with plastic wrap!

The background was easy to make.  I pulled it from a stash so I can't show you, but I promise to make a video tutorial of a simular card soon!  Please check back or even better, subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/c/GaleThompson and hit the bell so you will get notifications of my new posts!The supplies that are still available are linked (afil--thank you!) below.  Basically, just saturate your watercolor paper with color and when you are happy with the blend, lay a square of plastic wrap over it, then twist it up.  Allow to dry at least overnight.  When you pull it up you will get a surprise.  No two will be alike!

I heat embossed some Hero Arts Sand Embossing powder on some white card stock, then used a wave die to cut out beach.  The bike is from Jan '19 MMH kit.  I linked a simular one, but hurry as it's being discontinued!   I die cut the panel with a Hero Arts Postage Stamp Infinity die and attached to the base for a simple, clean look.  

Here is the supply list:




Until next time, stay safe and keep crafting!!

I hope this finds you safe and well!  It's sure been a ride hasn't it?  Today I'm excited to be a part of the Craft Collab's Pear Blossom EZ-Light Hop!  There is a drawing, open internationally, so check out the instructions in the description box of the YouTube tutorial!


The light sets are the easiest to use in the industry and I can't recommend highly enough!  I also added a mini action wobble so the little guy could float around in space!  All of the supplies are linked below (afil- Thank you so much!)
