Hello and thank you for joining us as we continue Hero Arts 45th anniversary celebration with another collaborative stamp set. Pinkfresh Studios has come together with Hero Arts to release the beautiful You Make A Difference 6″ x 8″ clear stamp and sentiments. Such a pretty set loaded with gorgeous lettered sentiments by my friend, Caly Person. Hop along with us for inspiration and comment on the posts for your chance to win a set for yourself!
Quick Links
I’ve got all the heart eyes for this set! Bravo friends, bravo!
Begin by ink blending Grape Juice ink onto an A2 Hero Arts Plum cardstock panel around the perimeter. Then stamp You Make a Difference in Hero arts Unicorn White pigment ink. The design stamped in just white picks up the purple hue of the ink blending and creates a variegated look. The design was a beauty just like this and I was tempted to leave it, but eventually decided to color with Prisma colored pencils.
Trace design, filling in or not, with Prismacolor Pencils in Yellowed Orange, Deco Yellow, Hot Pink, Lavender, Chartreuse, Spring Green, Lime Peel and Marine Green.
Stamp sentiment on Dove White cardstock with embossing ink and heat emboss with Hero arts gorgeous Brass embossing powder.
Adhere Plum panel to folded card base and pop on sentiment with dimensional adhesive. Add a few Purple Ombré sequins with the ever handy Crystal Katana and Precision Glue for the finishing touch.
