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!

Hero Arts, From the Vault, Beach and Sea

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:

Hero Arts, From the Vault, Aged Shadow Stamp

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.

Hero Arts, From the Vault, Bullsh*t Stamp

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 way you designed the beach scene with the mermaid! The shells around the edge, the colours in the sky & ocean are gorgeous, not to mention that wonderful sentiment. I like the aged shadow stamp on the 2nd card too. I imagine it would get used a fair bit. Thanks.

    The texture of the colors in the backgrounds is beautiful. I agree with your comments on the “BS” card that sometimes, all one needs is to know somebody else understands. Great job!

    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.

    The aged shadow stamp would be great when you want some control over the color but it can still show a natural look.
