Welcome to Color Layering™ by Hero Arts. Color Layering uses the technique of stamping progressively, building color and detail, resulting in an elegant, dimensional layered look. Within these pages you will ďŹ nd cards made with many of our Color Layering stamps. We asked our talented group of artists to recommend their favorite colors to best highlight each Color Layering stamp set. The results have been developed into 4-cube color packs featuring the championing artist’s name.
2
Our artists each picked coordinating colors that are ideal for one specific Color Layering set (listed on the packaging), and yet each resulting ink pack offers wonderful and rich versatility; you’ll find they work well with most any set and often produce stunning and unexpected results. Take a look at these unique pineapples below!

For a color combination that’s a little less unusual, we chose colors that scream pineapple! We Used Forever Green and Green Apple for the leaves, while stamping Caramel and Butter Bar for the fruit. Add AF214 Cup O’ Joe and AF343 Moss Bold Ink along with our new Hero’s Pineapple cube pack to achieve an even more dimensional look. See the back of this catalog for our complete ink line.
