I shared this bright and cheery card on the Hero Arts blog this weekend:
And today I’m sharing a card mixing some older Hero Arts sets to try and create a more traditional cherry blossom scene!
I also have a video for this card that you can watch below or over at my Youtube channel:
To start I inked mountains from the July 2019 My Monthly Hero kit (that are now available as the Color Layering Mountains at the Lake set) with Soft Granite and Charcoal ink. I used a baby wipe to blot some of the ink off the bottom of the stamp before stamping it on my A2 panel. Then I blended Soft Granite and Charcoal ink over the panel to blend in the bottom of the mountains. I dried the ink with my heat gun and then stamped the top layer of the mountains with Unicorn White Pigment ink and Embossing ink. On the Embossing ink I carefully sprinkled white embossing powder and heat-embossed it for a little variation in texture.
Next I blended Cotton Candy and Rose Madder ink across the top of the panel blending it down to the grey mountains. Then I stamped the bottom layer of the blossoms with Cotton Candy Ink and the top layer with Rose Madder and Red Royal ink. I stamped the loose blossoms with Cotton Candy and Rose Madder ink and finished it with a sentiment stamped in Intense-ified Black ink! I love the traditional paintings of Mount Fuji in the distance with a blossoming cherry tree in the foreground and thought this would be a good way to recreate that feel! 🙂

What nice cards! Very creative with Mount Fuji and the cheery tree!
Both of your cards are very cool. I like that you showed the traditional version & the Mount Fiji version. So inspirational.
I love the idea on these cards! What a beautiful mountain scene.
Your first card is beautiful but that second one just blows me away. It is incredible! I’m so glad you did a video of it. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the helpful and inspiring video. Your cards are beautiful and would be a treat to give or receive.
Gorgeous cards. Loving the pink skies ♥
Wow.. your Mount Fuji card is stunning !
This card looks great, the idea of combining stamps is so cool. You did a great job with the mountains but grounding them by removing the bottom. Love this card
Very dramatic card with an incredible difference for what is usually showcased. I actually felt this card to be angry. There are times you may need to make a strong statement and this card really does. Beautifully dramatic.
Enjoyed the video and the card is so pretty.
Such beautiful cards…love them!
Favorite card of the hop!
I love the cotton candy and rose colors!
These are both beautiful, lovely colours – so pretty.
