Hey everybody! It's almost time for the August Hero Arts My Monthly Hero release and this month's kit is absolutely gorgeous!
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 October 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!
Today is Day One of the Countdown to Creativity and I've got a sneak peek of this month's kit to share with you... and this month's kit is mindblowingly amazing! This month's kit has a gorgeous, large sunflower stamp. Even more amazing than that it's got a five piece layering set of stencils that makes it so incredibly easy for you to quickly and perfectly color this image in!
For this card I stamped my image in Onyx Pigment ink and heat embossed it in clear. Then I used the stencil set to add my color using blending brushes. I cut the image out with the coordinating die and set it aside.
Next, I cut a piece of Paradise cardstock to 4.25" x 5.5 and partially inkblended it using Blue Hawaii ink. I wanted the die background to be darker behind the sunflowers. I added the flowers with foam tape and then splattered my whole cardfront with White Glimmer Metallic ink.
I layered up my "hello" sentiment in black and white and glued that to my card. The final touch was to add some clear sequins.
Ok, you guys! That's it for today but please come back on Tuesday so I can share the whole kit and a really fun foiling technique with you!
Have a great day!
