Well the long BH weekend is almost upon us here in the UK. 😀
And before the relaxation commences it’s just time for me to share the dare I set for this week’s Daring Cardmakers challenge.
It happens to be National Superhero day over the pond today, so I thought it was the perfect excuse to celebrate super heroes and caped crusaders (in any form) on a card. It’s also a great time to make a card to celebrate the heroes in your life.
I used the lovely Super Kids stamp and die set from Lil’ Inker Designs as the hero element for my card.
It was my first time playing with this set as I hope to use it for future birthday cards. There are some cute elements in it and although my water-colouring came out a little chalky from the paints I used (these paints are much better suited to making backgrounds and colouring solid die-cuts) I had fun stamping the background with my lovely Lawn Fawn ink cubes (waiting patiently for them to release more of their colours in cube format here!).
Paper: Simple Stories
Stamps: Lil’ Inker Designs – Super Kids
Dies: Lil’ Inker Designs – Super Kids, Spellbinders, PTI
Other: watercolour paints, 3D foam tape
I’d really like to try colouring in the main characters in this stamp set with just grey tones next time. But my colouring skills would require serious improvement! lol
Don’t forget to pop on over to the Daring Cardmakers blog to see all the Super cards from the design team this week – there are some real corkers!
