Heartcraft Paper Blog Hop and Challenge #2

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to share with you all my very first creation for the month of August for Heartcraft Paper Design Team, Blog Hop and second Anything Goes Challenge. I was so excited when Monica showed us this month's release! I can't believe it's already August! 😱

Now let's have a look at what I made! Click on each image for a much larger and clearer view. 😊

Now lets see how I made it!! 😊

First I chose the digital stamp I wanted to use "Pegasus at Rest" and cropped and resized it to about 3 3/4 inches by 2 1/2 inches and then printed it onto some X-Press It Blending Card so I could use my Copic markers.

After a couple of days of letting the ink set on the X-Press It Blending Card I grabbed one piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and cut it down to 11 inches by 4 1/4 inches with my Fiskars 12 inch trimmer and folded it in half while using my Teflon Bone Folder to make it fold nicely, this will be my card base.

I cut a piece of blue cardstock to 6 inches by 4 1/4 inches. I then used an awesome cloud stamp from Katzelkraft with Brilliance Pigment Ink in the colour Moonlight White using the Tim Holtz Travel Stamp Platform. I love the textured look it gives!

I cut a piece of a yellow creamy colour cardstock at 1 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches and used the sentiment "Sometimes it is okay to not be okay" from Kindred Stamps Spoonie Squad stamp set. I stamped it with the Tim Holtz Travel Stamp Platform using Distress Oxide ink in the colour Black Soot.

I coloured in "Pegasus at Rest" with the following Copic marker colours (C0, C3, YG06, BG01 and V12). I then used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut the "Pegasus at Rest" image.

I used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out the sentiment with My Favorite Things Fishtail Flags STAX and altered it to become a stitched rectangle. I also used another die from My Favorite Things called Grassy Edges to cut out a strip of grass with some light green cardstock.

I adhered the grass onto the blue cardstock with Tombow Mono Liquid Glue and then trimmed the card front down to 4 1/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches using my Tim Holtz 8.5 trimmer and then glued everything onto the card base with Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.
I then added some clear Wink of Stella to the "Pegasus at Rest" image to give it that magical sparkling look.
