Hero Arts My Monthly Hero June 2017 Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, today we are celebrating the release of the June MMH Kit. Let me tell you, it is fabulous! Like I mentioned in my post on Saturday, it is safari themed and boy, it is stunning! I loved creating my tag so much, that I have decided to share a similar project with you today, but this time a card. I apologise that it is so similar to the tag, but I am in love with the look of these stunning stamps against the sunset.

For the hop, you should have arrived here from the amazing, Ilina but if you get lost along the way, I have a full list of participants below.

For my card, I started off with a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I took one of the circle dies from the Circles Infinity Die collection and cut this from some masking paper. I added the mask paper to the panel and then blended ink inside. I used Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral and Seedless Preserves Distress inks. As you can see I started with the lighter shade at the top and blended up to the darkest. The added Seedless Preserves just darkens the top slightly.

Using a MISTI,  I stamped the hippo, tree, grass and birds on to the sunset using black ink. I double stamped these to get a really dark impression. This panel was added to a white A2 card base with tape. I then took one of the Rectangle Infinity Dies and die cut this from more white cardstock. I then cut another circle in to this to create a window. I stamped the sentiment, from the same main stamp set that you get in the kit, to the bottom right. This panel was then added to the card with foam tape. A really simple design but I have to say, I love how it turned out!
