I have one more Celebration card idea to share for the May A Blog Named Hero Challenge. The challenge may have ended but we always need celebration cards!
Supplies:
Hero Arts Happy Message Fancy Die
Hero Arts Anniversary Fancy Die
Hero Hues Pitch Black Card Stock
Watercolor Paper
I started with a piece of watercolor paper that was cut to 4 1/2×6″ and taped it to a clip board. I took each ink pad and holding it vertically I swiped the edge of the ink pad across the paper. I repeated this for each color not worrying about gaps or overlapping areas.
Once all the ink was added I sprayed the paper with a mini mister. I wanted enough water to make the color move but not enough that I get puddles or too much mixing. If I did add too much water I tried to soak it up with a towel before it spread too much into the next color. I left both panels to dry overnight.
Once the panels were completely dry I cut them down to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2″. I arranged the word dies how I wanted them to cut and die cut them from the reactive ink panel. I then cut each word once from black card stock and three times from white card stock.
I adhered the panel to an A2 card base then inlaid one white die cut and added the inked inner pieces. I next placed the black die cut words offset from the inlaid ones. I glued the other two white words and the inked word together and lined them up with the inlaid word on the card.
I really love these new Reactive Inks and plan to use them a lot more! Be sure to visit and like the A Blog Named Hero Facebook Page for more inspiration!
