I went and saw "Wonder Woman" last night...it was such a good movie! Afterwards, I was in the mood to create a fun Superhero card. I have a few superhero stamp sets, but ultimately opted to use this sweet Mama Elephant set called "Tiny Heroes". Isn't it so cute? I bought it a few years ago when I was working on Teacher Appreciation projects!
I also used the Earth image from the "Globe Greetings" set from Concord and 9th.
The earth was created by quickly sponging some blue ink onto watercolor paper and spritzing some water on the top. After it was dry, I used some Olive embossing powder to add the green portion.
I used the coordinating die to cut the Earth out.
I created a mask using a sticky note so that I could align the cute images properly.
I stamped all of the girl heroes including the cute dog and cat images. I used Copic markers to color them. I didn't do any fancy coloring, just quick and simple.
I removed the mask and popped up the Earth image using Stampin' dimensionals. I also added some wink of Stella here and there as well as some star dust Stickles for shine. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of acetate using black Staz On ink. I added a trio of duck eggs blue Nuvo drops around the sentiment.
I stamped the same sentiment on the inside of the card for continuity. I added some red and blue coloring to tie in the color scheme.
The shield was punched out with a circle punch and I added Stickles to that as well as the colored letters. Join me tomorrow for a new challenge from The Challenge!!

Teacher Appreciation Week is in full swing! Super Heroes everywhere! I'm having a lot of fun, but I am one tired Mama! It doesn't help that our school is also putting on its yearly play and I have been helping with concessions every night! It's all fun though and it is for a good cause so it makes it all worth it! Also, I had a comment on my last post about where I got the silver Diet Coke can...Walmart!
This is the card my daughter took to her teacher on Monday. They were to "Be like a reporter and write your teacher a special note!"
I decided to make it non super heroey colors since I am growing tired of red, black, yellow and blue. I also wanted it to be fresh and fun! The super hero girl and sentiment are from Mama Elephant. The notebook background image behind the girl is from "Blue Skies" from Verve and the "Teacher" sentiment is from PTI.
I punched some starts out of the same color as the background and adhered them with dimensionals. I also added some start dust stickles all around the edges. The circle with a star punched out is a fun shaker element for some fun movement. It is filled with an assortment of sequins, stars and sprinkles.
I couldn't JUST send a note, so I bundled up some fun notebooks, post its and pens! I hope she liked them! Thanks for fluttering by!
