Video: Your Kindness Doesn’t Go Unnoticed

Your Kindness Doesn't Go Unnoticed card by Yana Smakula for Hero Arts

I used You Are Loved Messages and Love Is Love Bold Prints stamps to create the card I am sharing today. I purposely kept this card very simple and therefore easy to mass produce as I think we need to have and give more Kindness cards like this one.

Watch my video tutorial below to learn how I made this card:

I started working on this card by heat embossing Love is Love background in White Satin Pearl embossing powder onto white paper. I wanted to use regular white, but I have very little of white left and I was afraid I might not have enough for perfect coverage so I went with the Satin Pearl instead and I am happy I did because that also gave me a beautiful satin shine to my embossing. I love to use this particular embossing powder on non white papers as that’s where it looks best, but it also is fantastic on white.

Next, I heat embossed Your Kindness Doesn’t Go Unnoticed sentiment in white powder onto black cardstock strip.

I knew I wanted to do simple ink blending so I picked several colors of ink from Hero Arts. I went with Tide Pool , Aquatic and Deep Ocean and blended them into a gradient coming in from the left top corner.

Lastly, to embellish this project I used Ombre Ocean sequins and I scattered them around my sentiment.

Now it’s your turn! Have fun stamping!
