COLOR LAYERING FLAMINGO FROM HERO ARTS

Posted on April 13, 2017 in Cards, Hero Arts, Recent Works, Techniques, Tutorials

Hello dear friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you another one of my favorite stamps from Hero Arts. This is the month of our favorites products and my favorites are the color layering stamps! Today I am using the Color Layering Flamingo. Take a look at my card:

I have to be honest with you: at first I thought that the layering stamps were very hard to use but I recently discovered that I was very wrong. Color layering stamps are very easy to play with and very versatile because you can exchange colors and exchange the layers to create different looks and results in your images. I definitely love them and believe me Hero Arts has the most beautiful and complete collection.

To create my card I used whisper white card stock and different colors of inks. First I stamped the two grass images using two different colors of green. I used Green Apple and Moss from the Rain Forest Bold Ink Cubes. Then I stamped the legs of the Flamingo with the Tide Pool Shadow Ink Mid Tone. I used the same color to stamp the first layer of the body of the flamingo. For the second layer I used Aegean Bold Ink and for the third layer Aquatic Bold Ink, all from Hero Arts.

The sentiment was stamped with India Ink Black and to finalize the card I added some ink splatters with glimmer mist Bahama Blue, Dragonfly and Golden Orange all from Tattered Angels. I created a tiny black border over both sides of the decorated layer using basic black card stock and I pasted the entire layer over the pool party card base.
