Hello and welcome to the Hero Arts 2016 Catalog Blog Hop! If you’re here from Clare Prezzia's blog, then you’re in the right place. If not, you may want to backtrack to the Hero Arts blog and start from the very beginning.
All of the stamps, dies, stencils and inks you've been seeing during this hop are officially available in the Hero Arts shop as of today, and shipping is free on all US orders over $50! Here's a look at a few of the fun new products I'll be using on my cards today...
Neon Red to Purple Ombré Ink • Neon Chartreuse to Blue Ombré Ink
Pearl Strings Bold Prints Cling Background (CG688)
I started by inking the large 6x6-inch Pearl Strings background with the neon ombré pads and stamping onto white cardstock. Because the stamp is large, you'll be able to repeat the ombré gradation a couple of times. I just love these bright, happy colors!
These backgrounds would be perfect for birthday cards and invitations, but today I decided to make some simple "hello" cards using another new stamp I love -- the Dotted Hello.
The sentiment panel is mounted flat against the card base, while the stamped background pieces are cut and raised with foam tape. To create the solid ombré look, I simply blended each of the three colors from the inkpad with a sponge dauber onto white cardstock. Once that was dry, I white heat embossed the Dotted Hello on top. A couple of thin gold strips finish off the cards. So easy!
There are many great 6x6 Bold Prints background stamps in this release. Here's a peek at some of the others you may be interested in...

Beautiful cards, love the background stamp, sentiment and the NEON OMBRÉ INKS!
I like your tip to lay down the ombre colors with a sponge dauber. I did buy one pad to play with, but wasn't totally happy with the outcome. I'll have to try that, and practice more so I can get a background like your "pearls".
Beautiful!
Those neon backgrounds reminded me of the beaded curtains from the 70s ... love them.

Love, love, love that background stamp! I just picked up some of the Ombre inks but have not played with them yet.
What neat cards using such an unique stamp design!
Oh my gosh! I am going to have to crack my piggy bank and my bank account to afford all the inks and stamps that I want that I have been seeing on all these blogs. Anybody want to float me a loan? LOL I love this background stamp but it's so big! I have some of those big stamps and with my child sized hands, they are hard for me to use. Any good ideas for me? I'm sure you have adult hands so it's not so much of a problem. I may be an adult, senior actually, but my body and hands have been child sized since about 6th grade. I never seem to get the whole image on the paper sometimes.
I love how you made these cards and I want to try what you dd but maybe with one of my stamps. That is until I get this stamp and a few others and that amazing ink! I want it all! LOL
You did an amazing job on everything!
Awesome,beautiful cards, I love the addition of the thin gold strips!
Really like the bold colors.
Love the inks...and the new cling stamps are pretty cool, too!
These are so amazing! Those cards show so well that a great thing can be made with few (good) supplies!
I really like your card, it's simple yet very jazzy looking. This will be any easy one to copy for kids birthday cards. Thanks for sharing
