Adventure awaits Card - Hero Arts YouLiftMeUp - Stamping, Heat Embossing, Ink Blending

Was inspired by a video I watched by Jeannie Lieu. Used Hero Arts You Lift Me Up stamps, heat embossing, and ink blending.

Learned something new. Did not know that you could use VersaFine Onyx Black ink, clear embossing powder and heat emboss it instead of using VersaMark ink and black embossing powder which tends to be messy. Used painter's tape to mask off the ink blended areas.

Was fun to watch the heat embossing of the hot air balloon. The photo does not do the heat embossing sparkle justice.

Carnival Hello There Card - BBTB2 CountryFair Theme - Cricut Carousel TicketBooth - Hero Arts July 2018 Kit Carnival

This is my Carnival Card for this week's challenge of Bitten By the Bug 2. Theme is Country Fair. You can click here to enter.

Used Cricut Carousel Lite cartridge to cut Ticket Booth at 2" out of 2 different Kraft pattern cardstocks. Do any of you remember the Cricut Lite cartridge that were sold exclusively at WalMart?

Used Hero Arts July 2018 Kit that has a Carnival theme. The roller coaster and rest of black image at bottom is one long stamp so was only stamped, no cutting involved. Used Lawn Fawn Slimline & Slider dies.

When growing up on E coast of FL the Catholic private school I attended had an annual carnival/fair. My father would buy tickets for my sisters, brother & I to ride the rides. My favorite ride was the Ferris Wheel (especially when it stopped on top so you could see out over the carnival/fair) & The Merry Mixer (this one played popular music while on ride).
