In today's video I'm sharing a clean and simple birthday card with you for the A Blog Named Hero BIRTHDAY CARD CHALLENGE! For today's card, I'm using the Hero Arts ORNATE CAROUSEL Stamp Set. This was an add on for the My Monthly Hero July 2018 Card Kit. The kit has sold out, but you can still get the add on's! This stamp set is perfect for quick, easy coloring with colored pencils!
You can watch the video on how I made my cards HERE. You can also click the thumbnail link below.
Since I knew that I would be doing at least a lil bit of Copic coloring, I stamped all of my images with Hero Arts INTENSE BLACK Ink. If you aren't going to use alcohol markers of any kind, the Hero Arts BLACK Ink would work just fine. I used Copic's to at least save myself a wee bit of time in coloring the horse and the top and bottom of the carousel.
Be sure to watch the VIDEO folks. I talk about coloring images in white there.
All of the details on this image are pretty small. The upside is, it doesn't take much to color. The downside is, it's a wee bit harder to get in there with markers. Soooo...to make it a little bit easier, I PRISMACOLOR Colored Pencils used colored pencils.
I used the background die from the My Monthly Hero July 2018 Kit to die cut 3 layers of white cardstock to add to my card base. Again, this kit is sold out, but I think the MARQUEE FRAME Fancy Die would work great as well as the STAR CONFETTI and PARTY CONFETTI Fancy Dies.
I die cut both the ink blended and colored panels down with Hero Arts Nesting RECTANGLE Infinity Dies. I love the perfect spacing in those dies! As I'm writing this post, these are sold out. You can be put on a list and you'll be notified the they're available again or the Nesting ROUNDED RECTANGLE Infinity Dies would be fab too!
That's it!
There's still time to participate in the BIRTHDAY CARD CHALLENGE folks! You have until August 10th to play along and we LOVE to see what you make!
