Freshly Made Sketches 243 & MMH Sneak Peek 2!

MMH_Logo_TB

Oh we are gearing up for a nice long weekend here! It was an overcast day on Long Island but that didn’t dampen any of the fun at the Stamp, Ink, Paper Store! Renee and Angie were there and we crafted the day away! Around 4:30 the heavens opened up and it bucketed down! My trusty Dark Sky App let me know that I would have a window around 6:00 to make a break for the car and head home so that’s just what I did! Around 7:30 Anthony and Bill came by to get me so that we could go and have some Friday’s! I had a nice New York bacon cheeseburger and it was delicious! The fries were well done, just how I like them too! Once back home I crafted for a bit before watching a little TV. Today I have a bunch of things to get finished before the store is closed for two days! Not that I will not be doing any work! LOL!

Today I have my second sneak peek of the July My Monthly Hero Kit to share with you! It’s also for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…

Freshly Made Sketches 243

Today’s card all started with another Ink Blended Background! I used my Mini Ink Blending Tool to add Hero Arts Cornflower Ink to a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb Card Stock. The two images are from the Main Stamp Set from the Kit. They are Color Layering Jellyfish and are stamped in Soft Pink for the first layer and a new just too cool for words Ombre Ink Pad for the second layer. I adhered a piece of Fun Foam to the back of the panel to get it ready to add to the base. That base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and along the bottom I stamped some of the Coral from The Main Stamp Set in more of that super cool Ombre Ink! My main panel is then adhered to the card base. The greeting is again from the Main Stamp Set and is heat embossed onto a piece of Vellum with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. A little Kool-Tak Clear Foam Tape holds it to the card. Finally I added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear, Ballerina Pink and Pansy Purple Sequins to complete the card! I must be in a tropical frame of mind with all of my Ink Blended Backgrounds in the gorgeous soft blues, pinks and purples! I hope that you enjoyed your second sneak peek at the July My Monthly Hero Kit and my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! You can purchase the Kit staring on July 5th at 1:00PM EST directly from Hero Arts! Thanks for coming by and I’ll have another look at the goodies in the Kit tomorrow! Have a simply marvelous Saturday! 🙂
