My Stress-Free Spot: Heros

Heros

Recently I watched a video with Kelly Latevola for Honey Bee Stamps I think it was around the release of the stamp set but don't quote me on that, anyway I love the card set she made for all the different heroes during the pandemic, I decided to do some for our police department since it's a small department, Algona it's a small city only 12 of them. I finally got my order from Altenew which included one of their new ergonomic brushes that had been wanting to try it. I have problems with my hands and when the blending brushes came out they said they were easy on the hand and they really weren't they still hurt my hand using them but this one was easy I was able to make all 12 cards without a break so that was pretty good I even did the Copic coloring which wasn't that much though 😁

I used the my hero set by Honey Bee Stamps, somehow the die didn't make it to my cart so had to fuzzy cut the badge which wasn't too bad thankfully, stamped it with Altenew crisp ink permanent black then colored with Copic markers and then restamped with VersaFine Clair nocturne, the message were all from the same set on the inside of the card it said thank you for your service which I forgot to take a photo before I put the cards in envelopes. I wanted to make my cards different than Kelly's so I added the US flag which were from giving back mini set by Altenew also with VersaFine Clair nocturne. On the badge I wrote with a Copic multiliner our city name.
