Die cutting delight

Hi friends. I'm featuring Hero Arts Peacock Cover Plate on my card which is such a versatile product to create with.

1. I started off with an A2 sized panel and ink blended randomly with Creamsicle, Fruit Punch, Taffy and Grape Slush Reactive inks. I spritz the panel with water, lay a piece of paper towel on it and lifted. I love the end result seeing the droplets which is just magical to me .

2. I die cut the Peacock Cover Plate from Dove White Cardstock and adhered to the inked panel with Precision Glue.

3. Added gems on the tail of the peacock and a tiny black gem for the eye.

I chose not to add a sentiment at this time depending on the occasion I might use the card for.

A simple card design which I hope has inspired you to try.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

 Hi friends. I have been playing with some new products from Hero Arts Spring Catalog. 

My card today features the versatile Flower Pattern Cover Plate which is so versatile, and you get to make two cards from it using the positive and negative dies. 

1. I started with an A2 panel of watercolor cardstock.

2. I smooshed Splash, Pool Party, Green Apple, Taffy, and Lemon Drop Reactive Inks onto a craft mat.

3. Spritz with water and lay the watercolor panel onto the craft mat, picking up the ink colors. Dry with a heat tool. Repeat the process until you are happy with the mix of colors.

4. I then cut the Flower Pattern Cover Plate from the water colored panel.

5. I used just the background for my card and saved the dies (which includes flowers and butterflies) for another project.

6. The sentiment is from the Wildflowers Bundle Set which I stamped with Embossing Ink on Pitch Black cardstock, applied Silver Embossing Powder and heat set and cut with the coordinating die.

This was such a quick and simple card design which I loved creating.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
