Hero Paste: Adding Texture to your Cards!

Hey everybody! I hope you had an awesome weekend! I am popping in to share a bunch of cards with you and to let you know that I am up on the Hero Arts blog and YouTube channel today sharing a video on how to use your Hero Paste and how to get the most out of it. I share a bunch of techniques and I hope you'll enjoy it.

Here's a look at the cards I create in the video (well, I make the backgrounds in the video anyhow)... This first card was made by creating custom colors of Hero Paste using reactive ink re-inkers.

I paired my colorful Hero Paste with the Fall Leaves Stencil to create this beautiful fall colored background.

I finished the card off by adding a sentiment from the Autumn Messages stamp set.

This second card was put together using a scrap piece of Pitch Black cardstock and some Hero Paste that I covered with Brass Embossing Powder.

I stamped a Sand cardbase in Versamark ink with the Ocean Waves Bold Prints stamp.

I added a sentiment from the Sea You Soon stamp set, a sea star from the Sea Shells Fancy Dies and put it all together using foam tape.

For my last card I started out by spraying my DIY Liquid Watercolor Sprays onto a piece of cardstock to give it some fun color. Then, I used the Mermaid Sea Stencil to apply my paste.

Once the paste was dry I sprayed more liquid watercolor onto the background and allowed the color to pool in the spaces between the embossing paste.

To finish the card off I add a white frame using the Nesting Rectangle Infinity Dies. Then, I added a white shell from the Seashells Fancy Dies and topped that with a gold sea horse from the Paper Layering SeaHorses dies. The final touch was to add a sentiment from the Sea You Soon stamp set.
