Hero Arts | Bright Lights – Big City Christmas Card
Hello there! If you know me – you know I adore small images and various building images in my stamp sets. Today I have a holiday town card created using a few stamp sets from Hero Arts. When I was making this card I envisioned it as a Christmas version of these,Β I think it turned outΒ super fun.
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
CARD DETAILS
I started by stamping a townhouse in Hero Arts Intense Black ink onto a panel of white cardstock cut to 4 x 5 1/2″. I also stamped identical houses 3 times onto another piece of paper – I planned to do my coloring there, cut houses out and foam mount onto my main panel.
To add a few elements and complete the scene I also stamped little lampposts, holiday lights, trees and even a car with a Christmas tree on the roof.
I used Copic markers (just a few colors) and colored my images. I also stamped a small sentiment that reads “In the air, there’s a feeling of Christmas” and heat embossed “Bright Lights – Big City” in white embossing powder onto red cardstock, cut it out and foam mounted onto my main panel.
I adhered my white panel onto an A2 top folding card base made out of Simon’s Lipstick Red cardstock, added a bit of red and white twine and adhered several sparkling clear sequins on top.
