Shining Super Heroes

Hello hello... Jenny here, yep I'm not normally here on a Sunday but we've had a swap 

of days this week so Tara will be here tomorrow with her crafty project and weekly store round up.

Today I have a Super Hero card which could be used for a few different occasions...

I decided to use the  Hello Sunshine turnabout as a starburst style backdrop for these two 

little super heroes.... it's really quite a versatile backdrop for making images centre stage.

For this card I heat embossed it in white on blue textured cardstock

I stamped and coloured the characters from Mama Elephants Tiny Heroes then cut them

 out using the matching dies. One of the stamps in this set looks like two shooting stars (but I think they're a set of star deely-boppers), so I cut it into two and added them around the edge of the pattern.

The banner is from the same turnabout set which I heat embossed onto black card. I've made the sentiment up from the two different stamp sets.... I tried yellow pigment ink and yellow embossing powder from my stash and I quite like the texture it's produced on the words Super Hero.

   

Thanks for stopping by :)

Super Duper Birthday

Hi there and happy Monday to you :)

I have a comic book style card for you this morning using Mama Elephants Tiny Heroes....

The little super girl looks like she could be holding a balloon which are always good for birthday cards so that's what I went with... I left the balloon plain so I could add a number or extra message if needed :)

I stamped and coloured the girl with alcohol markers and trimmed her out although dies are available if you prefer. To make the background I used the largest starburst from Paper Smooches Bam Bubble dies to make a stencil with scrap paper and inked through the negative space with Distress Ink. To get the half tone look I used the Scattered Surface background to stamp through the stencil in blue ink.

To create the drop shadow effect I placed the die cut piece over the inked shape but moved it slightly in one direction and replaced the negative stencil piece back over the card too, I then added a small amount of dark ink to the exposed card being careful not to move the stencils... I hope that made sense:)

The die cut clouds are inked around the edges and partly stamped using the scattered background too... the sentiment is made using a Super Duper from the Tiny Heroes set and words from other sets in my stash... it's fun to mix n' match your own sentiments :)

What if you need a tiny flying Hero of the male variety I hear you say.... well that's no problem, just a little creative stamping and small amount of pen work and you can have a Super Boy too.... 

Simply do not ink the pony tail and parting detail in the hair and turn her dress into shorts and you have a trainee superman .... and you can still use the die, just trim away the extra card where the ponytail should be :)
