I thought I would make a card this morning featuring Hero Arts products! I started out with the Hero Arts HD120 Papillons Digital Kit which includes a set of Photoshop Brush files.  I created a new document in Photoshop and "painted" the 3 butterflies in a 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 space. I then copied the layer for a total of 4 sets of 3 butterflies then printed them out on some 65lb Hammermill paper through my Canon Laser printer. 

I cut the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet into the four 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 sheets and foiled each sheet with the two blue and one green toner foils. 

On the bottom sheet I stamped the background with one of my favorite background stamps of all time, Hero Arts CG880 Calligraphy Bold Prints with some Ranger Wendy Vecchi Archival ink in the color Forget-Me Not.  I then ink blended over it with some Simon Hurley Minty Fresh ink.

In the second foiled print, I used some markers to color in the butterflies then I fussy cut them out and glued just the bodies to the background leaving the wings free.  

I stamped the sentiments from the Hero Arts CM619 Art Journal Messages onto some heavy white cardstock with Versafine Clair ink in the color Warm Breeze then poured clear embossing powder over them and heat embossed to a shiny gloss.  I fussy cut them out and placed them on the card as you see then I edged the card with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink. I then glued the whole thing down to a blue card base from my stash (I *think* it's some 110lb Recollections.) And my card was done.

I am having a lot of fun with these digital files from Hero Arts and I cannot wait to see what comes next!

P.S. The underlined links are my affiliate links. It doesn't cost you anything extra to shop from them, but might earn me a dime or two. I am saving up for eggs donchano!
