Heffy Friend Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to the Heffy Friends Blog Hop! Today we are celebrating the Heffy Doodle July 2020 release with lots of inspiration and a giveaway, too!


Thank you for joining me today! I am so excited to be a part of the August Heffy Friend Blog Hop! I have created a slimline card to share with you featuring new products from the July Release. 


When I saw the You Go, Gull and A Little Shellfish Stamp Sets, I fell in love! (Who could resist these adorable beach inspired critters?!) I just had to create a scene using them together and I love how it turned out!



To begin, I stamped my images using a hybrid ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating dies. To adhere my images, I used a combination of glue dots, liquid glue, and foam tape.


I then die cut three rectangles using the largest die in the Stitched Slimline Trio Dies from Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I saved one rectangle for the main panel, die cut the waves from the second rectangle, and then die cut the sandy beach piece from the third. I used Antique Linen, Scattered Straw, and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks to create the sand. I diluted vintage photo, Copic White, and some gold metallic watercolor paint and flicked them onto add some beautiful texture. For the ocean pieces, I ink blended Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink and flicked on diluted Faded Jeans Ink.


For the main panel, I wanted to create a sunrise. To do this, I die cut a circle from a piece of Post It Tape and used the negative portion to mask off the sun section. I used Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks. I blended them using the lightest color in the center and blending the darker color around the edges to create depth and roundness.  I removed the mask and blended the same colors to both sides of the sun. I then used Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean to add a touch of blue at the top. To give the illusion of rays of light, I used a sun ray stencil and swiped on white pigment ink over the top.

  24. What a fabulous scene, and I love how you went really primary with your colors. When I try to do that, it looks like a weird kindergarten art class, but yours looks very cohesive. Plus, all the little texture details take this over the top. So great!
