Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge: #13 Creativebug Inspiration

The current Hero Arts challenge asks us to find inspiration on the Creativebug website.  Libby is the hostess of a 31-day Hero Arts series showcasing different stamping techniques.  I chose Day 22 - Emboss Resist - for my design.

I started by stamping the borealis background stamp from the June 2020 MMH kit onto a panel of Hero Arts lavender card stock.  It was then heat embossed with clear detail powder.  I followed by sponging over the embossing with Wilted Violet and Dusty Concord distress inks.  I finished with lightly sponging Black Soot distress ink around the edges.

I stamped the whale tail and spout (from the same kit) in VersaClaire black and heat embossed with clear powder.  It was die cut and layered with a coordinating sentiment on the card.  I finished with a few sequins.

This card was also inspired by Libby's FB challenge to use her favorite color PURPLE!  Happy Birthday Libby!
