I'm thrilled to be Guest Designing at The Ink Pad Blog today featuring Hero Arts Flower Power Layering Stamp Set, which was one of the stamp set in the Hero Arts early ShopBox Release.
There are four layers for the floral hair ... and another four for the face. For my first card, I only stamped three of the layering stamps for the hair, leaving the background flowers white.
I started with a soft pink for the flower insides.
Next I stamped a brighter pink for the flower centers and highlighted blooms. For the face layers I only inked the lip portion of the face highlight stamp. I used some pink pastel pencil to highlight her cheeks.
The current #staycraftywithhero challenge at the Hero Arts Blog is to create a gift card holder.
I found a super-easy gift card holder template at H Made Boutique made by scoring a 4 1/4" x 11" cardstock base
The card then opens at the top and the Gift Card slides into where you have scored & attached the middle (I used the Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies for my opening).
I used the coordinating die to cut out my lovely lady.
The background is a brayer roll-off paper from my Gel Press topped with a paper I made by painting a paper bag with Gesso, Watercolor Paint and Salt.
Next I used yellows and orange to create her a sister ... I love the empowering sentiments in this set.
The background for this card was made by brayering acrylic paint on colored cardstock.
