I had one more thank you card for our front line healthcare providers that I wanted to craft to finish off my second batch of cards for the healthcare workers who have been such heroes at our local public hospital. This heroes card is made using the Inloveartshop.com<\/a> Cute Love Heart Alphabet Dies Set<\/a><\/span>, Hollow Heart Frames Die Set<\/a><\/span> and a couple of critters from the Clearly Besotted “Hooray for Heroes” stamp set (retired).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I die cut the H E R O E and S from the absolutely adorable heart alphas using rich red card stock and matched the scalloped heart oval frame with the same red card stock (although there is nothing about the critters that connotes a gender, these heart-filled red pieces I think give the card a feminine look). For the inset oval background, I used a scrap of white card stock and blended on Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade<\/a><\/span> and Salty Ocean<\/a><\/span>. With just the two colors, I was able to create a third so that the critters looked like they were sitting on some grassy ground with a yellow horizon and a blue sky.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

To color up the nurse kitty and the doctor panda bear, I used the following Copic colors:
\nKitty: C00, C0, C1, C7 and R20 for inside the ear
\nNurse cap: N0 and R27
\nNurse top: B21, B24, B28 and Y38 for the buttons
\nPanda: C00, C0, C1, and C7
\nDoctor coat: B21 and B24
\nStethoscope: Y38<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I also used a Copic Multiliner on 0.05 pt<\/a><\/span> to outline and emphasize the eyes and a Uniball Signo White Gel Pen<\/a><\/span> to add the highlights. I fussy cut out the critters (including the little empty space left by the kitty’s tail looping around with an X-Acto blade), and popped them up on foam dots for a bit of dimension. I cut the card front down to fit on a navy blue card stock card base with a quarter inch border all around to nicely frame the card and repeat the blues of the critter’s uniforms.<\/p>\n
