The newest challenge at Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero is Smooth – try some ink blending.
I ink blended a cardstock panel using the Distress Oxide Ink equivalent of the the ink colors in The Paper Players Challenge and gave the panel a spritz of Hero Arts Frost Shimmer Mist (it got a bit lost behind the foiling on the blue, but you can see it a bit on the lemon yellow ink).
Next I foiled the panel using the Hero Arts Zen Circles Hot Foil Plate with silver foil (my one other color choice). If you look close, you can see some other circles in the background … that would be me trying twice of foil with Decofoil instead of Hot Foil (how many times do I have to do that before I remember). I sort of liked the effect when I was all done.
I finished by stamping the Hero Arts Roadside Messages Happy Birthday in Navy adding a bit of lemon coloring for the flags before attaching it with dimensional foam.
WOW – That is a FABULOUS effect!!! STUNNING and amazing masculine card. And I LOVE anything nautical. Thanks so much for joining us in the Stay Crafty with a Bog Named Hero Challenge!!!
