Card ideas using big background stamps - Hero Arts bold prints stamps
On my blog today, I am showing two ways to use Hero Arts bold print 6" x 6" background stamps to create the same card. I have even used the same colours & embossing powders, plus the beautiful Hero Arts Dragonfly Fancy Die.
I was a very lucky, excited crafter this weekend because I was able to demo a beautiful selection of Hero Arts products on HOCHANDA. Hero Arts are a new supplier to the channel and this was part of HOCHANDA's New Arrivals Event.

HOCHANDA have very kindly sent me a link to the hour where I demoed this card. I have cut it down to just the demo, which will show you the layering/inking techniques I used.

MY PROJECT
Each card features a different Hero Arts Bold Print background stamp: Ocean Waves & Branches. I began by using a range of green & blue inks from Hero Arts Peacock Layering & Libby's Purple Garden ink cube sets & gradually built up my background. I also used the same colours to blend around the edges too.
Next using Ocean Waves again, with Unicorn ink, I added another layer of ink. I wanted to create the feeling of movement for a watery background. Again, using the same stamp, I went over with clear embossing ink & glittery embossing powder. This created a further depth to all the previous ink layers.
When I was happy with my panel, I die cut the outer layer of the Dragonfly Fancy Die directly in to my background. The background was then mounted on to a black mat layer with 3D foam pads.
I added back in the piece I had cut away, which gave a relief & also somewhere to place the Dragonfly. Using a piece of vellum & the same outer die, I created a background layer. I decided to stamp detail on the vellum using the Ocean Waves stamp with Unicorn ink. This I then embossed with clear embossing powder.
I die cut the Dragonfly from black card, mounted this on to the vellum layer & then added both to my card, in the relief area. As a finishing touch, I stamped the sentiment on to vellum, embossing with either clear or silver powder.
Over the next week, I will be adding more of my Hochanda demos sharing a range of projects made using Hero Arts stamps, dies & inks. Please follow my blog and that way, you'll know when I have published a new post.
Many thanks for popping over today and list of all supplies used, can be found below.
