January My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + Giveaway!
Welcome back to the countdown to the release of the January My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, January 7th at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Let's join Caly for another look at this sweet kit!
For today's card, I aimed to create a sidewalk chalkboard sign. I started by using the ornate sign die from this month's kit and die-cutting it from kraft cardstock. To give it some dimension/shading, I inked around it by flicking ink around the outer edges using a Stamping Sponge. If you're not aware of what Stamping Sponges are, I recommend you looking it up! I know it's not popular, but I really reach for it often when adding color to the outer edges of die-cut elements like I did on this card. You can cut a round sponge into many pieces (like a pizza) to stretch its use.
Using black cardstock, I cut the sign's center and lightly blended around it also with some White Dye ink. White pigment ink could be used as well, but I didn't want to have to apply more heat to the cardstock since I was already planning to emboss over it. The sentiment and heart outlines were embossed using Versamark ink and white embossing powder to give it the chalkboard look. I also stamped the hearts centers using white dye ink to give it a more chalk-like look.
The images are stamped using Intense Black ink and colored with Copic markers (E21, E25, G24, G03, Y15, V15, V19, RV11, R85, C1, C2, C5). I also colored the bottom of a white cardbase using the C-Copic colors to create a sidewalk for the the standing chalkboard sign. After coloring, I die cut the images and worked on the card's construction.
I adhered the entire sign to craft foam before adhering it to the cardbase to give it more dimension. It was time to decorate my card with the Copic-colored elements to give this card some color and interest with the flower-shop images.
I hope this card gives you wonderful ideas for uses using the new January My Monthly Hero Kit. Thanks so much for joining me today!
