Peace and Love This Holiday Season, Hero Arts

Hello everyone! I am wicked excited to be guest designing for Hero Arts today! I am going to share with you a few cards I made with the Color Layering Peace Stamp set! I love to create holiday cards that have a non-traditional feel, but it was also easy to switch up the design and colors for more traditional.

Using pinks and reds (Worn Lipstick and Festive Berries Distress Oxide) I layered the word “Peace”. Then for some simple embellishments, I used leaf sprigs from the Build a Tree Stamp Set, I stamped these in Pine Needles Distress Oxide on Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Using a water brush I pulled the color from the stamped lines.

For the more traditional card, I stamped the same sentiment, this time in Festive Berries Distress Oxide. Then, the layered part of “peace” I use a Deco Foil Adhesive Pen directly to the stamp. Once dry I rubbed Gold foil onto it. Note: be sure to clean your stamp right away so you don’t leave behind any adhesive residue

To push the non-traditional envelope a bit more, I HAD to create a rainbow card! I ink blended a rainbow background ( Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers Distress Inks) and then stamped the sentiment with black and gray. To add in a pop of purple I stamped and die cut some snowflakes from Build a Tree.

These cards are perfect to send throughout the holidays and into the new year! I hope they have inspired you and will encourage you to create a few more holiday cards for your friends & family! Thank you Hero Arts for having me!
