Today I'm sharing a card using the Hero Arts May 2026 release Don't Stop Believing. Full of magical wonder, gorgeous scene building, and the most adorable "gentle giant", this release collection is a new favorite.

The Lake of Legends Stencil Set is so gorgeous!! (And surprisingly easy to ink up!) I used the Distress Oxide Inks pictured above (and listed below):
Forest Moss
Bundled Sage
Victorian Velvet
Shaded Lilac
Uncharted Mariner
Salty Ocean
I did not have the adorable loch ness die or stamp images so I pulled an older die set from Spellbinders. The Dancin' Birthday Dragon dies are retired BUT he is still available as part of the Monster Birthday Die and Clear Stamp Bundle which is currently still for sale. This inked scene reminds me of vikings and dragons, so this sweet little dragon seemed like a perfect fit. The sentiment banners also pair perfectly with him too. I stamped with grey dye based in and then added a wee bit of alcohol marker to the banner for added interest and dimension. xx
