Victorian Style Christmas + Behind the Scenes

*Compensated affiliate links used where possible at zero cost to you. No posts are ever sponsored or paid.*

Hi friends! I'm here with a fun countdown post for you today for the Hero Arts kit! This month they are featuring a classic Victorian themed Christmas, and the add-ons have some steampunk! So fun, and true crime adjacent! :)

To make the background, I swiped Unicorn ink all over some sheet music, and heat set it. This tree is an image from the main kit, and I first stamped it in black, but left the stamp in my MISTI. Then I colored the image with these opaque markers, and then overstamped in Versamark and covered with silver sparkle embossing powder. The camera stole all the sparkle, but it's super sparkly in real life.


So come back on Monday for my video and more goodies! In the meantime, enjoy this fun behind the scenes video! And don't forget to vote HERE for which Hero Kit you want to see come back!



Loveyameanitbye

    I find your idea's inspiring. Plus your recipes and adventures with the squirrel. I too found the video by HERO ARTS fascinating. I shared the video on several sites, including splitcoast. Thanks for all the inspiring ideas. Be healthy and crafty,my friend in my head, lol?

    Lovely card. I like how you swiped the Unicorn ink over the music - makes a nice subtle background. Thanks for including the HA video - I had already watched it but others may not have seen it on FB. It was quite interesting.

    I do enjoy music paper. It wakes such a great background for a variety of card types. This is very festive. Of course I'm loving the addition of sparkle.

    Oh Lydia, the soft look of the music sheet with the sparkle of the silver embossing is one of the loveliest cards I've seen. I'm sure the sparkle must really catch the light.
