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! 🙂

I just love the mountain scene. I need these stamps
Great ideas using the kit.
Breathtaking scene! Love the colors you chose. Thanks for the video inspiration.
Such a gorgeous card.
This is so gorgeous!! I love how you’ve used the mountains with the tree; it creates a fabulous scene.
Your background blends are truly beautiful! I am so inspired <3
Love those mountains – look like volcanos!!
I really like the pink sky and moody colour mountains. I wouldn’t have thought of putting it together like but it’s so effective.
WOW!! Love all of the blending of colors, your card is awesome!
I absolutely love your card and what a great idea to combine these 2 stamp sets!
That mountain card is gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration.
I grew up in the mountains so naturally I love this stamp & your card is beautiful!
Beautiful card!
I climbed to the top of my Fuji several years ago. Might be better to look at it on your card!
I just love that layered mountain stamp set! Gorgeous. And your pretty pink sky makes me happy just to look at. Beautiful cards!
Love the scenes you created.
I love the color scheme you have used for both cards. I just watched your video and you can feel how much you love this kit.
Beautiful kit! Such pretty cards! Love the colors you used and the scenes you created!
Nicely done! Always good to see older stamp sets incorporated into the new designs.
I wish I was able to purchase this set, but I wasn’t fast enough. They ran out before I saw the blog!
I’ll be saving up for those add-ons, they are great, too!
Both cards are wonderful but the one with the mountains is especially lovely.
Ahhh! Both cards are so pretty – I especially love the one with the mountains- so peaceful and beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing your talent!
Beautiful! Great use of the tree.
I adore this card. The Cherry Blossom tree is gorgeous.
I love all the pink in the sky and tree blossoms.
