July My Monthly Hero - Release + Giveaway!

(Edited to add: I've created a trio of cards using some of the other products released this month. You can see them in another blog post, HERE!)

Hello and welcome to another My Monthly Hero release blog hop. You should have arrived here by way of Michelle's blog. If not - head back to the Hero Arts blog to start at the beginning.

This month's kit has some of my favorite flowers - sweet peas and lavender - and a bunch of great containers for holding them. I've created a few cards today, but I wanted to walk you through the process for the background on this first one.


Along with the gorgeous stamps and dies in the kit, they have also included a Ranger Distress Oxide ink pad in the Iced Spruce color! The idea was that you can create a verdigris effect for the metal containers in the kit. Have you tried the oxide inks yet? They are a lot of fun! They react with water like all Distress inks, but they are more of a pigment ink, so the look and effect is a bit different. I've always had trouble getting a smooth blend with regular Distress inks (user error!!), but these blend like butter. I began by blending ink all over cardstock and spritzing with water, adding larger droplets by hand, and then dried it with my heat tool.


Next I added some of the Hero Arts Caramel ink by wiping the ink pad directly onto my craft sheet and spritzing with water. Please note - the Hero Arts inks *do not* behave like Distress Inks with water. Do not go in with that expectation!! But, you can do cool things with them - just different cool things. Embrace the difference! :) I randomly dipped the cardstock panels into the pool of ink then dried it with my heat tool.


Here are my finished panels. The idea was to create a verdigris look - the greenish oxide that forms on copper But don't they look like rusty metal? Either way, I love it!


I used one as a background panel on today's card. For the focal point image, I colored the pot to mimic the background using my Copics. I plan to also stamp the metal containers directly onto another one of these sheets I created, for use on a future card. The message on this card was embossed in copper.


Moving on to my next card... for this one I created a "custom" garden boot by combining the boot and little butterfly images that are included in the kit stamps. I made a reverse mask for this one. I stamped the boot on masking tape, trimmed it out, and then used the negative piece to form the mask around the outside of the boot. Then I stamped the butterflies randomly all over the boot, and colored with my Copics.


I added a little Glossy Accents to the boot to give it a shiny look.


For my final card, I used masking once again. This time I created some jar masks, so I could make it look like some jars were behind others.


I added some lavender to one of the jars, again with masking so the stems look like they are inside the jar. I dug out some oldies but goodies from my stash to finish this one - burlap paper, washi and brads.

Here's a look at the complete kit:

  157. I love your butterfly boot card, and how you created the verdigris backgrounds! Great techniques!

    ReplyDelete
  158. Oh my gosh, you're coloring is amazing! I am in owe how your bucket looks like the real thing and so do your glass jars. I love how you did your background too. Everyone on this hop has come up with some beautiful cards!
    The boot with the butterfly is so cute! I was wondering when someone would do something like that. I love butterflies and I wish we had more in my yard. They say they are on the endangered species list and I believe it. I used to plant Lantanas, the butterfly flower in my yard. I didn't get to do that this year because my dad died but when I did, they didn't attract any! No humming birds either! I want a pair of those boots! Do they come in a size 3 because that's the size I wear! LOL
    I love how you put the one flower in one glass jar and tied a bow on one of the jars. An amazing end to a fun, colorful blog hop. My legs and feet are tired from all the hopping but it was fun. I saw a lot of beautiful cards and I'm glad with each stop on the hop I get the chance to win this kit which I want so bad but can't afford even at the price it is. I hope I get to win!
