Spring is in the Air this Valentine’s day! Today Hero Arts is releasing their Spring catalog! This catalog features tons of new spring products plus a collaboration collection with Ralph Tyndall! This is the first time I have had my work printed in a catalog and Ralph’s first collab product line! Hooray!
I am sharing a few cards today but will definitely be sharing more in the upcoming days and months. I will be sharing the cards I created for the catalog this weekend so be sure to subscribe to my blog so you are notified.
There are two new HeroScapes in this release. This is a Breath of Spring and features a cloud/sky stamp and the grass with flowers. I used Kiwi and Green Hills core ink on the grass and Peony, Cotton Candy, Butter Bar and Spicy Mustard for the flowers. and die cut that section. I used Mist and Dusty Blue for the sky on a separate card panel. I did some light ink blending on that panel with the greens on the bottom third and blues just under the clouds. I adhered the grass die cut to the panel and stamped the sentiment and bees in Intensified black ink.
I die cut another panel with one of the large Arches infinity dies and layered that on top. The HeroScape layering stamp makes quick work of this card.
This bird on a Branch is a classic Hero Arts woodblock stamp. I stamped the bird and sentiment (from the With Sympathy stamp set)on watercolor paper and used my Tombow dual brush markers to color the image. I die cut that panel with the Pointed Arches infinity die and then used the next size up and die cut from Cranberry cardstock. I used a leaf image from the With Sympathy set to create the background. I used Antique Ivory cardstock and Caramel core ink. I did do some light ink blending the the Caramel ink to soften the edges.
I was so happy to see this sentiment as a woodblock stamp! To create the background I used Novel Prose bold print on Antique Ivory cardstock with Cup o Joe core ink. I did some light ink blending around the edges and then added some Gold HeroWax. I stamped the sentiment on Sand Cardstock and die cut with a Rounded Jewels infinity die. I popped up that sentiment and added some Gold Hero Pearls for accents.

I love the look of all of the arches. My favorite is the first card, with the “flock” of bees.
