A Background Two-Fer For The August "A Blog Named Hero" Create a background Challenge!

 Hello!

Welcome to my blog!  I hope all is well with you!  Today I'm sharing a super easy and basic background and how I got two-for-one when I inked it! The YouTube tutorial link is below!   I hope you will enjoy it (and consider subscribing!)

The supplies are linked below (AFIL-Thank you for your support!!)

Here's the video link:

The complete tutorial is on my YouTube Channel ,  but basically I inked the stencil with primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and they mixed to create all the colors one would really ever need.  

(Pro Tip:  black, red, yellow, blue and clear embossing inks are essential if you are just beginning your crafting journey.  You don't need all the things:)

After lifting the stencil, I spritzed it LIGHTLY with water and carefully laid it down on another sheet of paper.  Lightly press it down and then hold one side down and lift the other one carefully for the dismount.

I added Bubble Blower droplets to the flower centers and diecut sentiments on holographic cardstock.  The top card I also offset a blue sentiment so it would stand out.

That's pretty much all.  Fun, quick and easy... my favorite trifecta of words!

Until next time!

A Blog Named Hero's Repetition Challenge (Closed--but here's one more project!)

 Hello again!

Here's a tropically inspired card repeating the Hero Arts Hibiscus Fancy Dies.  (supplies are linked below AFIL-Thank you!)  

Our "A Blog Named Hero" Monthly Challenges end on the 26th of each month, so this one is closed.  But be sure to join the August one for a chance at winning one of two Hero Arts gift cards!  Currently, please link them on our Instagram page @ablognamedhero as our website is under major reconstruction!

Today's project is stamp-free and very quick to pull together.  I had some leftover hibiscus pieces from a previous card.  I die cut the tropical background once in black and once in green, then layered offsetting the green one slightly.  I glued that piece on an A2 size green sheet, then just layered the flowers!  I built up the center one for texture.  

The sentiment is half of the Hero Arts Hello There stamp 'n cut.  I layered three black diecuts and added a little sparkle with a glitter brush pen.  To top it off I used some Trinity Stamps Bubble Bath Baubles for the flower centers and placed the panel on an A2 card base.  That's it!

Here are the supplies!
