Hello! I really love the July 2025 Cling Stamp of the Month from Hero Arts, and I haven’t had a lot of time to focus on it, so I knew I wanted to use it today. I also knew I wanted to quickly blend a background with my Gel Press, but I wasn’t sure what else I was going to do. Turns out, I get to share ideas on how to ground elements in a fun way, without hiding the cool background you may have made.
