If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know I am lucky enough to be getting the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit. The kits are so fun and there are awesome add-on products that you can buy. I made this card using the March kit.
What I Used to Make my Card:
White Card Base
Hero Arts MMH Kit - March, 2017
Tim Holtz/Sizzix Labels Die Set, #660060
Hero Arts Intense Black Ink
Distress Ink in Ground Expresso
Inktense Color Pencils
Watercolor Paper
Light Brown Cardstock
Light Blue Cardstock
Toothpick
E6000 (or other industrial glue)
First I used Intense Black to stamp a bunch of veggies on watercolor paper. I used my Inktense Pencils to color them, drying them in between coats of color (for me, it is easier to color small die cuts when they are not cut out - keeping them all together while coloring, then die cut them.) Once you're done coloring the veggies, die cut them and set them aside.
I then cut the field out of light brown card, using the same color card to make my sign. I used the Labels to cut out a square that fit the sentiment using the same light brown cardstock that I used for the field. I stamped the sentiment in Ground Espresso, then edged the sign using the same. I smudged the ink along the sides to make the sign look a bit more weathered. I glued the toothpick to the back of the sign using E6000 and set it aside to dry overnight.
I placed the veggies in the field then attached them. I glued the sign to the back panel I made of light blue card, positioned the field, plus veggies, and adhered that as well.
I hope my card didn't make you hungry; personally, I've been craving carrots, but that isn't your problem 😉. Enjoy your day! Christi
