DT Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero challenge

Hi friends,

I'm back with another card for this month's Stay Crafty Challenge at A Blog Named Hero: Opposites Attract.

Just like my last card, I did an impression of the Floral Pattern Cover Plate instead of die cutting it. This time I used white cardstock and ink blended over the impression with Raspberry Jam Core Ink and I love how the ink shows heavier on the raised areas.


I partially die cut the Trellis Window die out of Kiwi cardstock twice and backed the die cuts up with two more layers for dimension.


The sentiment is a die from the Hero Studio Card Kit of February and I gold heat embossed the die cut. The shadow is cut out of Peony cardstock.


If you want a chance to win a $50 gift card to the Hero Arts store, all you need to do is create a card for this challenge and link it up over here. We can't wait to see what you'll create!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

DT Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero challenge

Happy Friday!

It is time for the April challenge at A Blog Named Hero and this month's challenge is 'Opposites Attract': create with opposite colors on the color wheel or a mirror image.


For my card I used the Floral Pattern Cover Plate Die and instead of die cutting it, I used a silicone mat which only leaves an impression in the Peony cardstock. I did die cut the Canary cardstock with the Floral Pattern Cover Plate and trimmed it in half so it left me with half the flower pattern. The centers of the flowers are ink blended with Papaya Core Ink. I placed the die cut flowers over the matching flowers in the background and it creates a mirrored image, that stands out more, of the bottom half of the card.


The sentiment is a die from the February Hero Studio Card kit and I die cut it out of Canary cardstock as well. I ink blended the bottom of the word with Papaya Core Ink.


For some fun detail I added Translucent Greens Hero Hues Enamel Dots to the centers of the flowers.


Now it's your turn to create a card for this challenge and you might be our lucky winner of a $50 gift card to the Hero Arts store! I can't wait to see what you will create!

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative weekend.
