Welcome to the My Monthly Hero Kit August 2023 Blog Hop! You should have arrived from the fantastic Emily Midgett but if you're just popping in you'll want to head over to the Hero Arts Blog
so you don't miss any of the inspiration along the hop or the giveaway!
Hero Arts is generously giving away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, August 13th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.
The Classic kit has tons of fun dies to create endless scenes. It is the kit I worked with for both cards today however, Hero Arts offers the Premium kit elements for purchase separate from the kit. So if you find you super love them you can grab them!
The flowers are by far my favorite part of the Premium Kit. No one is surprised here! lol.
I decided to play around with white on white textures to crate my scene card. I used a different textures for each layer of the scene.
I used the White Puff Embossing Powder for the mountains. The White Pearl Paste for the rocks and White Glitter paper for the trees. It's a great way to add tons of texture and dimension without doing a ton of work.
Here's a close up of all the various textures. Don't be afraid to mix cool and warm tones too. it adds EVEN MORE interest. Speaking of interest how about the pop of color from the flowers?!
I ink blended my grass and colored up the flowers with my Copic markers. Do you love the white on white or prefer more color?
This White on White uses the new Graphic Mountain Stencils and definitely has more of an elegant feel. I adore the graphic lines with the white paste. This type of background can be use for so many types of cards!
I used the Golden Poppies with their coordinating stencils to create the focal point. After I stamped, embossed, and ink blended them I trimmed a few out of the background. To finish it off I splattered on some Gold Glimmer Metallic Ink to bring it all together.
You can see how I created both cards in the video below.
I hope you'll consider white on white for your next crafting session. I adore how clean it is!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Your next stop on the hop is the amazing Meg Brooks.

I definitely love the white on white, especially with all the texture but I think the color from the grass and flowers makes the white pop even more. Guess that means I like both?! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your tip on mixing colors. You sure know how to do that! Love the card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. Love the added texture.
ReplyDeleteLove the scene you created! The colors and textures are awesome, and the poppies are so beautiful! Great effect with the softer colors in the background and the poppies being so vivid!
ReplyDeleteI love the way that you used the White Hero Pearls and the glitter paper to add such beautiful texture! The colors on your card are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the white on white stencil card. It is so good!
ReplyDeleteReally love the white on white cards!! 2nd one is amazing with the stencil background and the simple addition of the spatters totally made the card great.
ReplyDeleteI love the texture on the mountains. Great cards.
ReplyDeleteThese are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the realistic look of the mountains with the puffy embossing powder and the texture!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the textured mountain. Very creative
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are very pretty! I watched your video and found the techniques that you used very interesting. The different kinds of white make the cards pop with texture. The poppies give the cards just the right amount of color. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I really love all the layers on your first card and the Stay Golden background is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene and pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteKelly these are so sweet! I am LOVING your use of golden! I hope you have gotten some rest with Jellybean! :) I love your tip on perspective - farther away verses upfront. I tend to create in the focal point so I appreciate your tip! TFS!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty!
