Desert Birthday Card with Hero Arts

 I'm back with a record amount of blog posts for one week! I recently received ALL THE THINGS from the August 2022 My Monthly Hero kit and it hasn't disappointed! Today I'm sharing a birthday card that uses mainly the stencils from the kit. I'm also entering the card into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Sparkle and Shine.

I used the desert stencils to create the main scene on the card. The first layer uses Hero Hues ink in Camel, then Sand. The cactus stencils are inked with Hero Arts ink in Green Hills, shaded with some Field Greens, then finished with Pine. The sun is inked with Distress Inks Squeeze Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin. Finally, the sky is inked with Distress Ink in Kitsch Flamingo.

I wanted to add sparkle for the SSS challenge, so I used the stencils again to add some Liquitex Gloss Gel and topped that with Distress Rock Candy Glitter.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is stamped from Hero Arts Seaside Highway HeroScape set. I used Hero Arts watermark ink and Hero Arts Gold embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by :)
