Hero Arts Countdown to Creativity: You Lift Me Up!

Hey everybody! It's almost time for the June Hero Arts My Monthly Hero release and this month's kit is super cute!

But first, if you aren't familiar with the My Monthly Hero kit, it's a kit that is released by Hero Arts on the first Monday of every month. It always has a fun, themed collection of stamps, dies and other goodies. The cost is just $34.99/month and the value is always much greater! 

You have the option to subscribe (subscribing now means your first kit will be the July release), or, to buy your favorite kits as one-off purchases. Be aware that once these kits sell out they are gone for good. If you see a kit you like make sure to snatch it up quickly!

Ok, on to my card! This month's kit has at least one adorable kitty and a huge set of balloons. From the moment I saw this kit I knew that I'd be making a slimline card with a kitty floating away.


I inkblended the background using the cloud stencil from the Sky Stencil Pair. I used Splash Reactive Ink and then spritzed with white iridescent spray and splattered the sky using White Metallic Ink. I colored the mountains and grass using copic images because I wanted it to feel like the poor kitty was really high up in the sky.

After finishing the background I matted on black cardstock and stamped my sentiment from the kit. I stamped in Onyx Black Pigment ink and heat embossed in clear embossing powder for some mess-free heat embossing. Finally, I added my copic-colored balloons and cat using foam adhesive tape. I tucked the balloon string piece behind the kitty's paw and then used a fine tip black pen to draw the string into the cat's paw. 

...and, that is all I can tell you for today you guys! If you'd like a chance to win a kit before you can buy it then head on over to the Hero Arts blog today. We will also have sneak peeks everyday from now until Monday when this full kit is revealed (so make sure to check the Hero Arts blog each day)! 

I hope you have an amazing weekend and enjoy the sneak peeks until Monday's full release!

Bye for now,
Maria
