Undersea Coral & Octopus MMH Sneak Peek 3!

Ahh… the first real weekend I have had in a long time! The Stamp, Ink, Paper Store was nice yesterday! We had some peeps stop by including my friends Sandy and Louis! I played around with stamps and got a few more projects finished. The ride home was fabulous and yes, it was topless! LOL! I had dinner with my Parent’s and then headed over to Heather’s sister’s block party. We had a great time, I got to hang with George and we had a good laugh! This morning I’m off to the Apple Store with Heather and then I want to try and run into Manhattan for a bit, we’ll see how that goes! I’m trying to cram too much into my two days off!

My card that I have to share with you today is my third sneak peek of the July My Monthly Hero Kit! I made what is essentially a one layer card! To begin I used my Mini Ink Blending Tool to add some Hero Arts Tide Pool Ink to a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb Card Stock. Next up I used my Mini MISTI to stamp the super detailed Octopus from the Add-On Set. The first layer is stamped in Hero Arts Soft Granite and the second layer in Charcoal. I used my Heat Tool to make sure that he was nice and dry and then brushed him over with my Powder Tool before stamping the first layer of the stamp again over the top with Versa-Mark, adding Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder and heat setting it. My coral along the bottom is from the same Add-On Set and is stamped in Red Royal and Orange Soda. The greeting is then stamped in Red Royal and I adhered the finished panel to a Solar White 110lb Card Base. So technically it is a single layer card! I think that the detail in that Octopus is so life like that if you look quickly at the card you may mistake it for a picture! So amazing what you can do with a little ink and some stamps! I hope that you enjoyed my third sneak peek of the July My Monthly Hero Kit, I know that I’m having fun sharing them! Remember, 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 some more of the Kit tomorrow! Have a stupendous Sunday! 🙂
