This month’s collection features bold urban images and textures. For this card I used the layering sky stamps in the June Hero Studio Cardmaking Kit to stamp the sky in a blend of Dusty Blue and Cornflower Core Inks, with just a bit of Summer Sky at the top, onto a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock. For the white cloud layer, I just barely touched a Charcoal ink pad to the stamp before very lightly stamping down.
Next, I positioned the stencil from the kit over the bottom portion of the panel, making sure to overlap the bottom edge of the sky scene. Using an extra large blending brush, I blended a heavy layer of Charcoal ink over the stencil. Then I used a die from the Nesting Rectangles Infinity Die Set to cut the panel down to a smaller size.
For the sentiment, I used Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink and white embossing powder to heat emboss the sentiment, which is also from the kit, and then to finish the card I used foam tape to adhere the card front to a card base.

Stay Coo!
My next card features the June Clear Set + Dies of the Month as well as the Decorative Tile Pattern Stencil. I stamped the images in Intense Black ink and then colored them with Copic markers. For the background, I stamped the floor tile pattern and then positioned the stencil above the floor. I blended Mist ink over the stencil to create a tiled wall.
To assemble the card, I trimmed the panel down and then used foam tape to adhere the stamped images and sentiment. Then used more foam tape to adhere the card front to a panel of Arctic cardstock and which I then glued to a card base.

My favorite details of these are that little touch of gray in the “see you soon” clouds (I didn’t notice that on IG) and the wall pattern on Stay Coo. (And the dimension. Always.) Great cards!
