Hero Arts and Reverse Confetti Blog Hop

Hello everybody! Thanks for stopping by today. I'm glad you did because today Hero Arts and Reverse Confetti are teaming up with a fun collaboration stamp set called Better Together! This stamp set was designed by Ellie, the daughter of Reverse Confetti owner Jen del Muro. If that isn't cool enough, the proceeds from this stamp set will be donated to the Human Rights Campaign!

Now, this set is intended to be used for stamping flowers but I really felt like doing a little mixed media today. Lucky for me there are some fun patterns included in this stamp set and I was able to use two of the stamps to create this background. I started out by using glossy spray paint to coat my background in color. Once the paint dried (it dries quickly) I used the dotted stamp and some black ink to stamp repeatedly on my background.

Next, I grabbed my Delicate Petals Stencil and used it to stencil on some white acrylic paint. When it was mostly dry I added Puffy White Embossing Powder to the wet spots and heated it to add some fun texture to the edges of the stenciled areas. Then, I took the stamp that was intended to be a stem and used it to heat emboss stripes in Brass Embossing Powder onto my background. I wanted the edges to be a little bit darker so I inkblended them with some dark blue hybrid ink so that it would be permanent. After that, I splattered the background with more white acrylic paint. When my background was dry I adhered it to a top folding A2 cardbase.

I wanted a big, bold sentiment to finish off my card so I decided to use the new Happy Thanks Stamp & Cut XL. I cut the "thanks" three times out of black cardstock and glued the layers together. I heat embossed my stamped sentiment in white and cut it out. I added foam adhesive to the backs of the die cut and stamped sentiments and adhered them to my card. The final touch was to add some enamel dots in yellow and white.
