Heron Habitat Bundle-Thank you Card

Once again it’s time to participate in Kylie’s Monthly International Blog Hop for June. This challenge is a gallery of Demonstrators’ projects from all over the world and then our cards are voted on. The theme of this challenge is ‘Thank You’. I decided I wanted to play with a stamp set I hadn’t used yet and the Heron Habitat is a stamp that really caught my eye when the New 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue came out.

I would really appreciate it if you would take the time and vote for my card.

Cutting and details to create this card:

1. Card base is Balmy Blue card stock cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″
2. Basic White card stock is cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″
3. With So Saffron ink and a Blending Brush, brush lightly to create a sun halo
4. Cut out a mask with the Masking paper and the Layering Circle dies
5. Brush the sun with Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody, remove the mask and light brush the area with Daffodil Delight to blend the colors together
6. Lightly brush the sky with Balmy Blue ink and a very light touch of Flirty Flamingo ink, about 1/3 down the card stock use Pool Party ink for the water
7. Color the water and grass stamp with Stampin Write markers using Balmy Blue and Old Olive, then stamp on the card to create water
