HAVE A ROCKIN' CHRISTMAS (1)

I used the Christmas Toys stamp set from Hero Arts, for this Christmas card.

I did some simple ink blended with Twisted Citron Oxide Ink and Lucky Clover Distress Ink. I also splattered these two colors onto the background and also used Abandoned Coral Oxide Ink.

I stamped the images from the set and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:
Train: R14 - R46/ YR21 - Y38/ YG07 - G06/ B00 - BG000
Bear: R14 - R46/ YR21 - Y38/ YG07 - G06/ B00 - BG000/ C0 - C3 - 0/ E41 - E43/ B37 - B39/ RV10 - R83
Soldier: R14 -R46/ YR21 - Y38/ E41 - E43/ B37 - B39
Monkey: R14 - R46/ YR21 - Y38/ YG07 - G06/ B00 - BG000/ E71 - E74 - E79
Rocking horse: R14 - R46/ YR21 - Y38/ YG07 - G06/ C0 - C3 - 0/ E71 - E74 - E79/ W3 - W5
Drums: R14 - R46/ B00 - BG000/ E71 - E74 - E79/ C0 - C3 - 0
Blocks: R14 - R46/ YR21 - Y38/ BG000 - B00/ E41 - E43
Trumpet: YR21 - Y38
Doll: YR1 - Y38/ BG000 - B00/ R14 - R46/ E00 - E11/ RV10 - R83

I die cut all the images and adhered them to my ink blended background. I stamped the sentiment and added some highlights and dots to the images. The panel was adgered to a Noble Fir cardbase.

I always find these detail images by Hero Arts hard to color, because there are so many little details in it. But when you put in the effort, it looks stunning!

CRAFTY HAUL (34)

I'm a huge Lawn Fawn fan and most products I work with are by that company. But every once in a while, I like to purchase from other companies as well. Since an online craft shop had a sale and new Hero Arts supplies were also available at another site, I got some Hero Arts produtcs. Here is what I got.

I got this Coloring Layering Palm Tree stamp set. It's a great scene building stamp set, but can also work very well on its own. You can layer the several stamps to create a realistic and dimensional look.

This die set, called Jungle Frame, is just amazing. It creates this amazing frame with leaves and plants, to make a jungle themed card. I can image die cutting it from two different tones of green and layering them on top of each other.

The Hello Toucan set is just adorable. The different toucan images are just great and I love this bird, so I can't wait to start coloring them. It can work perfectly with that Jungle Frame die.

The Christmas Toys set was on sale, in a bundle with the coordinating dies. It's going to be a while for me to use them, since it's only summer. But I really already have a bunch of ideas for this stamp set.

I don't have any monkey stamps, so when I saw the Thanks a Bunch Monkeys set, I just needed to have it. I love those cute monkey images and those vines are really cool to build your scene.

Happy crafting!!!
