Hero Arts Deeply in Love Card

I am loving the new Hero Arts stamp set Deeply in Love. My husband was in the Navy and served on a submarine so I want to make a card for him. I first embossed the School of Fish with Versamark and Blueprint Sketch  Distress Oxide Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the emboss resist technique by inking over the background with three Distress Oxide Inks. I sprayed the background with water and sopped it up with a paper towel. I then wiped off card with a paper towel to remove the ink over the embossed fish and reheated the card with heat gun to make the fish shiny. I die cut three portholes, glued them together and embossed with gold embossing powder.  Next I used my Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers to color my images. To make the porthole shine I added a circle of acetate under the porthole. I used foam tape to elevate the porthole. My hubby loved it and said that I outdid myself on this card.

To make this card I used:

Hero Arts Mermaid Kisses Card

I wanted to make glitzy card so I used a sparkle embossing powder over a distress inked stencil. I first used three color of distress oxide ink to color in the stencil. I left the stencil on and then used an embossing pad and sprinkled on sparkle embossing powder and heat set it. I love the glitter effect of the embossing powder because the glitter does not come off and make a mess.

Hero Arts Need a Hand Card

I wanted to use my two jellyfish stamps to make a card. I used the emboss resist technique to make this card.  I embossed the jellyfish to a white cardstock with Versamark and then the Distress ink. I then used a blender brush over the jelly fish to layer three Distress Oxide inks. I then used spritzer bottle to add droplets. I finished the card by adding sparkles.
