Fall Color Inspiration

November 8, 2018

Hello everyone, it’s Juhi here with a card for this month’s Color Inspiration Challenge. I hope you are enjoying beautiful fall weather. Even though we don’t get to see too much of the gorgeous fall colors where I stay but the weather is still lovely.

I’ve used My Monthly Hero September 2018 kit for my card.

I colored the stamped images with the Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors that came with the kit. The colors on the sampler go perfectly with this month’s color inspiration challenge.

I finished off the card by adding highlights with a white gel pen to the colored images.

You still have some time to play along in the Color Palette Challenge! We love to see what you create!

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Watercolor Rose

September 9, 2018

Hello everyone! It’s Juhi here, I have some happy news to share. I became a mom once again, baby girl Anika arrived close to midnight on August 16th. As you can imagine it’s been a super busy and exhausting last few weeks. I managed to sneak in a few hours to make this card.

It seems that I’ve lost my crafty mojo. After several failed attempts I finally settled on making a floral watercolor card, one can never go wrong with that!

There’s still a few days left to participate in the Sparkle & Shine Challenge! We love to see what you make and there are great prizes to be won.

I hope you enjoyed my project today. Thanks for stopping by!

Watercolored Dogwoods

May 9, 2018

Hey there! It’s Juhi here today and I’m sharing another project to give you some inspiration for the Put A Flower On It challenge.

I’ve been trying no line watercoloring lately and have I’ve tried some no line watercoloring on the gorgeous Dogwood Flower stampset.

I’m really happy with the way the petals turned out but not so happy with the flower centers. I was trying to add more depth to create a 3D look but I guess I need a lot more practice!

Here’s a closer look at the flowers

Mother’s day is just around the corner, this card goes out to my mum who loves both, flowers and watercoloring.

Some more Color Layering Stamps

April 9, 2018

Hello everyone, it’s Juhi with another project for this month’s ‘Use your favorite Hero Arts Product‘ Challenge.

My favorite Hero Arts product are Color Layering Stamps. I find myself reaching out for the Seahorse Color Layering Stamp again and again. I find this stamp set to be extremely versatile, the possibilities are endless. What’s more, it’s just perfect for making masculine cards! You could make a card with a beautiful watercolor ocean background like I’ve done here, or you create a stamped background like today’s card.

I first stamped the focal seahorse using Hero Arts Inks in colors – soft pool, pool and navy. I then randomly stamped the starfish, seashell and tiny seahorses around the focal seahorse image.

I finished the card by mounting the stamped panel onto a black cardstock base and stamping and heat embossing the sentiment on back cardstock.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you like my card, don’t forget to visit the main Challenge Post and participate. We can’t wait to see what you make!

Thinking of You

November 24, 2017

Hello, everyone! It’s Melissa back today with more clean & simple inspiration as I play along with this month’s challenge to CASE one of the A Blog Named Hero designers!

I made a simple Thinking of You design, taking inspiration from a poodle card by Emily Midgett (seen below my card).

I just loved the classic red, white and black color scheme and polka dotted background on her card and wanted to create a similar design. I used the adorable bunny from Neat & Tangled’s Holiday Baking set as my main image, adding just a touch of color to its cheek. The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Everyday Sayings set. The little candy cane is from the same set and is colored with a red Copic marker. I changed the color arrangement ever so slightly, using a black polka dot decorative paper instead of red as the base. I then used red cardstock as the matte behind the main panel. The black polka dot paper was glued directly to the white cardstock card base. Once assembled, the main panel was attached to the card using foam adhesive to add a little dimension to the overall design. I then added just a touch of sparkle to the candy cane using a clear Wink of Stella brush marker. Here is Emily’s original design:

You have a few more days to join us in this challenge! We’ve collaborated with Neat & Tangled this month and are using their images as inspiration on our designs!

Until next time, happy stamping!
