Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero October 2024 Challenge - Thanks for the Memory

Hello there.  The Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero (ABNH) October 2024 challenge is live now on the Hero Arts (HA) blog.  The theme this month is THANKS FOR THE MEMORY, or a thank you project.

*affiliate links used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you… thank you*

HA products used:
▪️Hello Fungi stamp 
▪️Arches Infinity dies 

I created a punny CAS (clean and simple) Autumn card in a classic fall colour palette of red, orange, yellow and brown. 


The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It blending paper and coloured with Copic Sketch markers.

Copic markers used:
mushroom cap - R14/27/46/39/89 
mushroom stalk/gills - W00/1/3/5 
mushroom spots/spores - C0/1/3 + white gel pen 
leaves - YR24/27, E08 
flowers - Y11/13/15 
ground - E31/23/25/27/29 


Used an Arch die next to die cut a stencil from acetate.  Positioned it around the image and ink blended Kraft dye ink with a blending brush.  Started at the upper left corner and faded out to the image.  Stamped the sentiment in black then trimmed the panel down to 4-1/8” x 5-3/8”.  Matted the panel onto Kraft cardstock and adhering to a white card base to finish. 


Play along for a chance to win one of two $50 gift cards to HA.  Must use at least one HA brand product to qualify.  All the details and the link up tool can be found HERE.   If posting to Instagram, please tag @ablognamedhero with hashtags #heroarts and #staycraftychallenge.  The challenge ends at 5:00 pm PT on November 3, 2024.  Thank you for stopping by.
