Hello! Today I'm hopping with Hero Arts as the Season of Wonder winter catalog products are released in the Hero Arts store! You should have arrived here from my amazing friend Lydia's blog. If you didn't, head back to Hero Arts to start at the very beginning!
There are so many fabulous new products in this release! I started by playing with the Color Layering Owl.
I decided the owl would be a snowy owl today. I stamped layers in Soft Granite and Charcoal, and then stamped the solid layer in Unicorn White pigment ink right over the other stamping, to soften it all. A little pink on the cheeks with pencil, black glaze pen on the eyes and of course glitter to finish it off! The glitter is a fun, new chunky Snowfall Glitter. I created a shaker card, cutting a window with a die from the new Fancy Ornaments Infinity Die set and filling it with new Icicle Sequins.
Next I played with an adorable new set - Sending Warm Hogs!
For this card, again I began with the Snowfall Glitter. I laid down a rectangle of double-sided adhesive, and sprinkled it with the glitter. So pretty! The little pig was just stamped and colored with my Copics. A message from the stamp set was stamped underneath.

The owl is beautiful, and the glitter is the perfect finishing touch. I love the lttle piggy, but I can't let him in my house. Did you know that pigs multiply at an alarming rate? They do, and they take over the house. Really! It happened to me, and the trauma of re-claiming my space is not something I want to experience ever again!!! (But he's SO cute!)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning!! The use of the glitter and the shaker card is perfect. I love the soft colors!! Excellent!!
ReplyDeleteThe owl card is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCute little hogs! Make a simple little card!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute cards! Love the little piggy and the owl is really regal. TFS!
ReplyDeleteElegant & humorous, two fabulous cards, your owl looks very majestic with his snow backdrop, gorgeous both of them.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I'm locing the snowglake glitter
ReplyDeleteAwe, the piggy is so cute and the owl is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe owl card took my breath away! So beautiful! Owls are one of my favourite birds & I'd love to have this stamp & die set. And the piggy - what can I say? Made me giggle & that's always a good thing. TFS
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are amazing! I love the owl card! The colours used are perfect with the touch of glitter to make him pop! I really am a sucker for shaker cards!
ReplyDeleteOf course that little hog is just adorable--I love it! But I'm captivated with the owl shaker card--stunning!!! There is just something about owls that always makes me stop and look again, and you captured him beautifully with the sparkly shaker background! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat piggy IS being good - especially as a cute focal point of that card. I love the snowfall glitter as well. Really adds a nice dimension.
