Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Blog Hop August 2023

 

Hello Crafters! 

Welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Blog Hop! You should have arrived from the fantastic Joan Bardee but in case you're just stopping by you'll want to head back to the Hero Arts Blog so you don't miss a thing. So many great things in this catalog, let's get right to the good stuff!

Hero Arts is generously giving away two $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left along the hop. Comment on all the blogs for more chances to win! You have until Thursday August 31st at 11:59pm to enter. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.


Two of my favorite things are ink blending and copic coloring. This Peeking Reindeer is perfectly adorable colored in copics with a fun snowflake stencil background. 


I used the Unicorn White Pigment ink over several blues to get the festive snowy background.



I combined ink blending and copic coloring once again for these sweet Northern Lights Bears. I switched up the lights by doing a bit of mirror stamping so they appeared to be two different layers. 


The great thing about the lights is you can easily switch of the colors. I chose green but a pink or purple would look amazing too! 


Thanks so much for stopping by. 
Your next stop on the hop is the amazing Laurie Willison
Happy Hopping!
