Hello Crafters!
I'm super excited to be joining Hero Arts for there 2018 Catalog Blog Hop!
If you've been hopping along then you already know that this release includes tons of amazing products. You can shop the entire catalog here.
You should have arrived from the wonderful Rubeena's blog. I'll wait while you pick yourself up off the floor because she's just completely knocked you out.
If you're just stopping by you don't want to miss out on all the fun!
You can start from the beginning at the Hero Arts Blog.
Before we get into the cards (yep more than one!) just a friendly reminder to make sure you're leaving a bit of love along the hop.
Hero Arts will be giving away three $50 shopping sprees, drawn from comments left across all blogs in the hop. Please comment by Thursday, February 22nd at 11:59pm PT. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the week after commenting closes.
If you follow me on Instagram than you have definitely gotten a peak or two of the following cards :)
First up is this stunning Mermaid. I just though she was so beautiful, I had to color her. I used copic markers to color her and then used the coordinating die to cut her out.
For the background I used the new Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors. Once they were dry I placed the new Sea waves Stencil on top and pressed my Hero Arts Unicorn White through the stencil to create the "spray" look"
The sentiment is from another new mermaid release called Mermaid Kisses. So cute!
I couldn't stop using those liquid watercolors at just a background so...
I stamped down the Flowering Magnolia stamp in Antique Linen Distress ink and set to work. I combined Mulled Wine and Strawberry to get the pretty pink you see in the petals.
Once the first flower was dry I masked it and stamped another. I used a slightly darker version of the same colors for the second flower since it's tucked behind.
Last but not least you know we aren't getting through this release without a scene right?
Good to know you know me :)
I stamped several of the characters and accessories from Storytime and In The study to create my scene. To complete the look I stamped the new Bookshelf stamp in the background using Soft Sand ink.
I wanted the Bookshelf stamp to complete my scene but not steal the show so I opted to just leave it soft. I did all the coloring with Copic markers before finishing it off with one of the best sentiments ever. So true. Never too many books!
You can watch the whole card in the video below. It's a long one where I talk a bit about my first design team and what I've learned since then.
Feel free to skip it, it's a long hop!
The video will be here :)
Your next stop on the hop is the fantastic Libby Hickson. I can't wait to see what she made can you?!

ReplyDeleteAmazing cards! I am going to have to borrow your idea of putting the greeting off to the right side of the mermaid card. It is really striking. Thanks for the idea.

ReplyDeleteI love your cards and these are simply amazing! Beautiful work, thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards--they are amazing as usual! Thanks for the insite about being on a design team. I have been thinking about it, but I was afraid it might be too demanding. As you said, you have to know your limitations and not stress yourself out.
ReplyDeleteOmg, the mermaid card is gorgeous. The other 2 are beautiful too but the mermaid blew me away. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAlways love story time with you Kelly! The longer the better! Beautiful, inspiring card! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteYou always inspire me to try something new. I don't see me going down the Copic road, but I've yet to try a one later scene card with this much detail. I think this weekend I'm going to try a multi masked one later card. I'll let you know how it goes on Instagram. I'm sorry you were stuc. I can answer the amoxicillin question you passe on your You Tube video. Most people are now immune to it so prescribing it can actually cause more issues. No medical degree here, just chronic infections in my recent past. I'm glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI love your mermaid! The colors are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow - these are all beautiful. I'm really loving the magnolia card.
ReplyDeleteI am always so impressed and inspired by your coloring techniques. They always look so life-like.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloring. Love the cards
ReplyDeleteGosh these are breathtaking! Your coloring is #goals.
ReplyDeleteLove the mermaid. Actually, love them all.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your cards and videos. You are one of my favorite YouTube crafters .I'm currently trying to get all your videos watched. Your story card touched me as I am a mom and have 2 boys and remember reading to them when they were younger .
ReplyDeleteOh so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, amazing coloring! Thanks for another awesome video!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Deanna 2 comments up. Ur my fave. I noticed 1 person i watched (no names) who has done videos for years and years ago vs now...well shes not as happy n fun sounding as the present videos. But yours have been consistent and enjoyable. Great personality n talent. Your an inspiration, thx.
ReplyDeleteLove your card and am glad you are feeling better. I would LOVE to see a video on the mermaid card! Please....
ReplyDeleteWhat WONDERFUL cards! The mermaid. The book-themed cards! The Magnolia~Oh! The Magnolia!How do I choose my favorite? I don't! I just keep adding to my list of "Need to Have"!
ReplyDeleteAww Kelly! Your cards are wonderful! Your coloring is superb, I love, love the magnolia! TFS
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing at coloring these images. I can't even get close, but with that in mind. I love the mermaid. Sorry you have not been feeling better. Hope you get back to your regular self soon.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards Kelly and what a great idea for us the stencil on the mermaid background!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your cards, Kelly. Great video - I always learn from your voice-overs. It sounds as though you had the same bug that I just recovered from. Not fun! Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards--I especially love the floral card; your coloring is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour cards look like paintings - if I were to get one, I'd frame it and hang it on my wall :)

ReplyDeleteAwesome settings for your cards. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful coloring! The scenes you have created are stunning
ReplyDeleteYour card designs are magnificent! I love the mermaid and magnolia but I love your little library scene. What a great card to send a friend.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Whole lot of creativeness going on here! I love the mermaid she's so richly coloured and looks almost real. The same with the magnolias; beautifully coloured and then your third card blew me out of the water. Love the library books in the background and the gorgeous scene you've created. Thanks so much for sharing your talents and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are gorgeous! I love the way you put your scene together and all the care you take with copic coloring! Hero Arts has come out with some great new stamps and dies - can't wait to get my hands on some of them!! thank you so much for your inspiration and sharing your creativity with us!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards and coloring.
ReplyDeleteThat 2nd card with the bookshelf in the background and the scene you created. WOW! I would have had no idea how to even recreate such a look, so thank you for the video. You are amazing!

ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful!! Love that gorgeous mermaid!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! Each is more beautiful than the one before it. What great cards and love every detail1
ReplyDeleteWatched your video on YouTube and I enjoyed your commentary (the card too!). Watercoloring with those Hero Arts looks kinda neat. Maybe they are easier to utilize than mixing and adding water into traditional watercolour paints prep a wash?
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards! Love the watercoloring.
ReplyDeleteI love books! I also love your cads!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteThose magnolias are just stunning. Loved your video - I got a little teary when you were talking about ABNH!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!! REALLY AMAZING! love them all! hugs, treen
ReplyDeleteAwe inspiring cards. You totally nailed it!
ReplyDeleteYour use of the stamps in creating your cards is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAmazing cards...beautiful coloring. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, Kelly! I don't know where to start - each card is AMAZING! Your background on the mermaid card is just stunning! And your scene with the books, the girl and boy is just breathtaking. The detail you added to the chair and floor is magnificent. It looks like I could step right into that scene!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, thanks for your gorgeous cards and lovely story. I also love books so I can't resist the beautiful bookcase stamp! Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteElegant and pretty cards....thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards. Love the mermaid and the magnolia, and your scenes are always so exquisite.
ReplyDeleteAnother great video! Love learning from you! Hope you feel better. I had it too here in North GA. It was bad! Take care! You are an inspiration! Julie

ReplyDeleteKelly, I was entranced in your video showing how you stamped and masked to get the layout of your one-layered scene. You are so awesome. Your cards are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove your amazing cards! My favorite is the reading scene with the perfect saying! The pretty pink flowers is a close second. Your coloring makes them look so real!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, Love ALL your cards, of course, love your scene, you are the best at them and I love how you used the bookcase stamp in the background, so awesome. My favorite is the mermaid, so AMAZING, I love how you colored her, I collect mermaids, and I have to get her. Thanks and I will be watching the video, not because of the hop because it's past my bedtime, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for 3 great cards. The magnolia on is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards...love the magnolias and your beautiful water coloring!
ReplyDeleteWow, stunning cards! Amazing coloring.
ReplyDeleteI love it all! I watched the video, and your coloring blows me away! All the cards are great, and I wish I could color half as well as you do!
ReplyDeletedid not think much of the Storyline set until I saw what you did...they are beautiful! now I want it too...
ReplyDeleteI love the card with the reading best, it really is a great collection of stamps that Hero created
ReplyDeleteAdore your reading card - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow,Wow, Wow!! Your coloring never ceases to amaze me!! Your cards are all so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your telling us all about how much work you've put into practicing your craft (ooh. Unintentional pun!) It makes me feel better about where I'm at right now. Although it also means a lot of work ahead of me. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteOh and "sectionalized" is not a word. Just say title has so many sections. Sometimes that's simpler
Amazing coloring. It is evident that you've payed your dues and that you love your craft. TFS.
ReplyDeleteI so admire your coloring skill resulting in cards that deserve to be framed.
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful, your coloring is amazing as every, but that flower card is just swoonworthy!
ReplyDeleteStunning cards, Kelly! The scene you created is amazing and I love your watercoloring of the magnolias. So amazing!
ReplyDeleteAll your cards are sooo perfect !!
ReplyDelete[margessw(at)icloud(dot)com]
Amazing cards! The magnolia one is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKelly... I love watching you color, you are a very talented person... thanks for the inspiration...
ReplyDeleteThree great cards and I love scene building! Books are definitely like friends.... Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAll 3 cards are beautiful, but I love the mermaid card and especially love the stenciled background behind it! The magnolia came out gorgeous using the liquid watercolors. Was hoping you had more input on how it was to work with them in this post... comparison and contrast to traditional watercolor. Perhaps you have in another post, I'm playing catch up from being sick myself. I sympathized with your story!!!
ReplyDeleteKelly your colouring is amazing. Just love the scene you created of the mother reading to her son.
ReplyDeleteWow Kelly... Gorgeous card..Love each one of them..My favourite is third one..love the beautiful scene you have created.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Of course I’m partial to mermaids so it’s my favorite. I like the way you used the book background stamp in your scene.
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is always so amazing! I really enjoy watching your tutorials. Today's cards are so beautiful! I love the new mermaids because who doesn't want to be a mermaid!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful and I love that sweet book scene. I'm with you on the blue dress. I do not wear a lot of pink. Hope you're feeling better. I really enjoyed watching you color in the video. I'm out of practice since I haven't colored in ages.
ReplyDeleteWell, my thoughts on your book card basically boil down to "I want to go to there!" I love how you did the background of the mermaid especially. I never think of white pigment ink, but I really love how it turns out. And, of course, your florals are stunning as usual. How on earth did you get this all done while you were so sick? You amaze me. Thank you as always for sharing and being such a fun ray of sarcastic sunshine in my day.
ReplyDeleteI am love with the book card!!! I must get that stamp! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so beautiful! Love these watercolors from HA. Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteThe magnolia card is amazing! And love the Story time scene.
ReplyDeleteyour coloring is absolutely stunning!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards indeed!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I love the "books are like friends" card!
