Stay Crafty With Hero Challenge #2: Never-Seen-Ink!

Here is Stay Crafty With Hero Challenge #2: Never-Seen-Ink!, below is the challenge photo:


And here is the card I made to attend this challenge:


I white embossed Hero Arts' Ocean Waves Bold Prints background on the white cardstock and blended in different blue shades of Distress Oxide inks. I die cut another piece of white cardstock with Hero Arts' Lily Pond Fancy dies which is the first time use. I brushed different colors of Distress Oxide inks on the die cut and used Copic markers to color the leaves. For the koi and waterlily, I colored them with metallic watercolors and used black enamel on the eyes of koi and pearls on the waterlily. I used foam tapes on the Lily Pond die and attached it on top of the Ocean Waves background. Finish the card by stamping "wishing you peace" (from Hero Arts' Color Layering Koi Stamp set) and attaching some gems on the background. Love the pastel look of the finished card. Below is another look of the card:


Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI, MFT

Stamps: Hero Arts
Dies: Hero Arts
Others: Copic markers, Altenew metallic watercolors, white embossing powder, Picket Fence Life Changing brushes, foam tapes, black enamel, gems
