STAMPtember Collaboration - Hero Arts AND Ink Blot Shop

 Hello - and HAPPY STAMPtember - a month long party by Simon Says Stamp to celebrate all things stamping. 


Today we are getting to see the next in the progression of the special SUPER SECRET collaboration stamp sets that will be happening throughout the month! Today we have not one but TWO companies - and I have a card for both of them! First up - Hero Arts!


For this card I created a blended background with Distress Oxide inks, and added my images in a silhouette style on that background!


I used Wild Honey, Crackling Campfire (of course!), and Dusty Concord for my blended background, masking off the lower portion of my panel, and added a good bit of splatters with Perfect Pearls for sparkle and texture.


Next, I used my MISTI to stamp the images and sentiments on it, staggering them over that line I masked off. I kind of wish I'd moved the bench down ever so slightly, but had to roll with it as it was! Finished off with a bit of jute twine tied in a knot for texture, and mounted the entire thing on an Ivory cardbase to contrast slightly with the white panel.


Here is a better look at this fun set:



And next up - we have Ink Blot Shop!


This card has the cutest images for creating fun scenes - so I rolled with that!


I stamped everything in Copic friendly ink on white cardstock - using the straight line with the tent and the trees to stamp off the edges at different heights to add some depth to the scene.


I colored it all in with Copics markers in soft colors, and added a ground under the images to give them a stable place to rest. Finished off by mounting it on some coordinating plaid pattern paper from My Favorite Things to finish off!


And here is a closer look at this adorable set:

You Make a Difference Blog Hop - Hero Arts/Pinkfresh Studios Collaboration Set

Good morning! I'm super excited today to be hopping along to celebrate the release of a very special collaborative stamp set between two amazing companies - Hero Arts and Pinkfresh Studios! This set  called You Make a Difference is part of Hero Arts 45th Anniversary, and also celebrating this AMAZING industry. It's so wonderful to see companies supporting and cheering each other on - everyone is more successful when we work together! Keep reading for giveaway info - there are 3 giveaways up for grabs! :)


I have several cards to share with you today using this gorgeous stamp set - so let's start with this first one:


I adored the sketchy style to this stamp set, so this card was a way to embrace that style and give it a different look. I'm TOTALLY not artistic on my own - I mean, give me a stamp set, and I can make a card - but don't expect me to draw something on my own! Know what I mean? However...


...with this stamp set, I felt like I could almost fake being able to draw! I stamped it in a super soft and neutral ink color, then used a variety to Polychromos colored pencils to draw over the lines and color it in softly. Kind of fun!


Once I finished coloring, I heat embossed my sentiment in the center in gold, then did a bit of distress ink blending around the edges right over the coloring. I also added some white paint splatters and perfect pearls splatters.


These next few cards are a little peek at a set of four cards that I created a video for today on the Pinkfresh Studio YouTube Channel - you can check out all the details HERE - but here is a few photos you can check out, then pop over and watch the video to see how I put them together!





And finally - pop on over to the Pinkfresh Studio Facebook Page at 10 AM Pacific Time for a special Facebook Live as we create this card LIVE with the new set! There is a giveaway up for grabs, and we always have tons of fun hanging out and chatting - hope to see you there!
