Hero Arts Blog Hop to Support Ukraine


Hey there, Artie! It’s Del! Today we’re joining Hero Arts’ Blog Hop to Support Ukraine. I have joined up with several friends and Hero Arts to share a project and a unique opportunity to benefit the people of Ukraine through the Red Cross.

The blue and yellow of the Ukraine flag symbolize the beauty and calm of the skies above and the joy and prosperity of wheat fields throughout the country. The national flower, the sunflower, symbolizes motherhood. To honor Ukraine, and help counter the devastation and destruction, we are donating 100% of our net profits from sales of this Support Ukraine collection. Funds will be donated to the Ukrainian Red Cross for immediate, on-the-ground help. We will continue our fundraising efforts to also support the long-term rebuilding that will be required to restore schools, roads, homes, and the spirit of the Ukrainian people.

Step-by-step Instructions

  1. First, I stamped out the Sunflower Fields HeroScapes layers over a card base with Forever Green, then Green Apple, then Dandelion, then Caramel, then Cup of Joe, then Intens-ified Black Inks.

  2. Then, I die cut some Mint Tape out with the coordinating die for the field of sunflowers and masked off the sunflowers.

  3. Next, I used a blending brush to add a gradient of Indigo Ink over the top.

  4. To finish it off, I used an acrylic block to stamp the birds and sentiment.
