Hello and Welcome!
I am so excited to be celebrating 45 years of Hero Arts! It's their anniversary and they have released a new summer 2019 catalog. It is full of stamps from the vault and some new ones too!
Hero Arts has been one of my favorite companies over the years.......since I starting stamping, Hero Arts wood mounted stamps were some of my firsts!!
**********************************
I love the Seas the Day Seagulls stamps and I've paired them with the Wave & Sea Confetti Die.
I ink blended a white panel with blue ink and die cut with the Wave & Sea Confetti Die letting some of the pieces fall out. I wanted the scattered look to the die for a sky and adhered this panel to a white note card. I Copic colored the images and die cut using the Seas the Day Seagulls Dies. I hand cut a piece of kraft cardstock for my "beach" and added "sand" with Copics E44, E43, and a white pigment pen. My images were added with foam adhesive and a sentiment was stamped in the lower right corner of my beach.
**********************************
Let's hop around and see what everyone has made using the summer catalog!! See below for prize information!
