Hero Arts 45th Anniversary Blog Hop, Day 2
Hi everyone! Can you believe that Hero Arts is celebrating 45 years!! Since I just turned 40 this is even more amazing to me! Welcome to the 2nd day of the Hero Arts 45th Anniversary Blog Hop! I have TWO cards to share with you today. Hero Arts is bringing back some stamps from the “vault”, ones that were released many years ago, retired, but available again!
If you are visiting my blog for the first time or have not yet subscribed – be sure to do so! I share lots of handmade projects every week delivering them straight to your inbox! I also occasionally share information about crafty classes and new product releases I love. Subscribe here.
If you are new to my site you may not know that I am a mermaid. The rest of you are probably not surprised to see me sharing a mermaid card! Was so excited to see this Beach & Sea Stamp released again!
Card Details:
I started by stamping and coloring the mermaid with Copic markers. I added a hint of teal in her hair like me.
For the inky background, I cut a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock and watercolored with Distress Oxide ink pads. The colors I used were Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade.
I used Wet Cement Hero Arts ink to stamp the seagull. For the card base, I used Soft Brown Shadow Ink to stamp the various sea shells.
I realize this next card isn’t for everyone, but I still wanted to share it today. Sometimes life doesn’t go the way that we want, and I think if I were to mail this card to a friend with some thoughtful words inside it would make them chuckle, and that’s all you need some days.
Card Details:
For the background on this card, I inked up the Aged Shadow Stamp that was brought back from the vault with Distress Oxide pads. Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Seedless Preserves. I spritzed the stamp with the Distress Sprayer and then stamped it on Distress Watercolor Cardstock.
On top of this background, I then stamped the Bullsh*t sentiment, that was also brought back from the vault with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

Love the mermaid card and the coloring is fantastic. I didn’t know there was a “Bullshit stamp” to be had. That is on my wishlist. I’d like to shake the hand of the person who designed it.

The mermaid card is lovely and reminds me that summer is just around the corner.
Yup! We all get those days so the second card with the simple “sentiment” says it all. It got a laugh out of me.

Wonderful cards! Love the colorful backgrounds.

The mermaid card is so pretty. Not sure I would use the BS card but it is sometimes very appropriate!!
Your cards are wonderful. Some days are BS, might as well call it as you see it with a card.

I love these! The mermaid card is beautiful, I love that background. I used to have that shadow stamp on the bullshit card. I never knew they had that word stamp, though, so cool!
I adore the “sky’ background technique and colors. Just Wow! I would never have thought to use pink in a sky.
Love both cards! The vibrant inked background for the mermaid is wonderful. Love the rainbow inked background on the second card – and LOVE the sentiment!
