The current #staycraftywithhero Challenge is to CASE one of the Hero Arts designers.
Of course I had to choose my friend Seeka (aka SkyPaperScissors), although her precise clean & simple style is a bit challenging for me to emulate. I chose one of her gorgeous watercolor designs for my inspiration.
I stamped one of the few Hero Arts Background stamps I have (the retired Leaf and Floral Background) in white pigment ink and embossed with detail white embossing powder. Next I pulled out my Jane Davenport Layer Cake Paint in Teal & Blue and painted my background.
Then I tried splattering with purple, but I used the wrong brush and the splatters were too big, so I went back in with more water and blended. When I was done, I gave it a generous spray of Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer Spray for allover sparkle.
Next I took on another technique that I struggle with (I'm just not much of a precision glue girl) – stacking die cuts. You can see my Smile from the Stamp & Cuts Smile Set wasn't quite perfect, but I managed to accomplish it, so I left it matte rather than pushing my luck adding embossing powder to the top like Seeka did. Instead I added some Hero Arts Clear Enamel Dots together with a sentiment (achieved with some surgery) from my March 2018 Hero Arts Kit.
I love sending smiles across the miles. Thanks Seeka for your amazingly talented inspiration.
