Clean & Simple Copic Coloring & Ink Blended Sunset with Hero Arts - Hero Arts 2018 Summer Release

Hey folks!

It's time for the Hero Arts 2018 Summer Release! I have two video to share on the hop today. In my first video, I'm sharing a clean & simple with Copic Coloring. In my second video, I'm sharing an ink blended card that so easy to make!

This is one of my favorite releases yet folks, so do be sure to check it all out and hop along to see all of the amazing inspiration! You can also check out the catalog by clicking HERE folks.

First up is a ver clean and simple card. On this card I'm using the new COWBOY LIFE Stamp Set. Western themes aren't typically something I'm drawn to, but when I saw this stamp set I was in love!

There's loads of ways you could use this set, but I wanted to go with something clean & simple. I wanted to keep the focus on these darling images.

Before I started any stamping, I did stamp out a plan on a plain piece of copy paper. This way I could follow that plan in my MISTI Stamping Tool. Since I was going to be Copic Coloring, I used Hero Arts INTENSE Black Ink.

You can watch the video on how I made my card HERE. You can also click on the thumbnail link below.

If you originally followed along with the hop, I had to pull this video due to technical difficulties. I have since fixed the issue and this is an updated link! Thanks so much for your patience and understanding folks!

I did some pretty simple on all of my images. Some them are pretty tiny, so instead of trying to color in those tiny little spots, I went back over them with my Prismacolor pencils. I have my color choices listed in the thumbnail links below.

To finish off my card, I added some Sakura Clear Glaze to the band on the hat and the details on boots. I also added some Nuvo AQUA Shimmer and called it good.

For my next card, I wanted to so some ink blending. This is another really easy card to make. Even with the ink blending, you could easy make a set of these.

I started by diecutting a piece of Graffix Acetate with the Hero Arts SAFARI SUNSET Fancy Die. Then I put a an even coat of Tombow MONO Liquid Adhesive. Once you let it dry becomes temporary. You can see in the VIDEO how this work folks.

I used MULLED WINE, STRAWBERRY, TANGERINE and DANDELION Bold Hybrid Inks for my ink blending. I made to to build up the colors, but I definitely wanted them to be deep and bold.

You can watch the video on how I made my card HERE. You can also click on the thumbnail link below.

I wanted to be play up a black silhouette against the ink blending so I simply die cut my card panel with the DESERT SUNSET Fancy Die and stamped a sentiment from the COWBOY LIFE Stamp Set and I stamped that with UNICORN White Pigment Ink.

I added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in MORNING DEW and called it a day.

That's it!
