We also have an awesome GIVEAWAY and a BLOG HOP with tons of inspiration going on so please make sure to check the info for those at the bottom of my post! And, I have a VIDEO today sharing a really fun DIY technique for making your own watercolor sprays (see below)!
Ok, on to my first card! If you'd like to watch me put this card together you can watch the video below. I started out by making a cool watercolor background using my DIY water color sprays (see the video for how to make yours). Then I used a die from the kit to out the purple heart hands. I love these hands and keep thinking that they look like a heart fist bump.
I used the stencil from the kit to add some white glacier paste to a black cardbase. Then, I heat embossed my sentiment in white.
I added my purple hands with foam tape and then added a gold glitter heart in the center. I thought this sentiment was perfect because it looks like the light is shining through from the heart hands.
I shared this card on Friday but wanted to share it again in case you didn't see it. I used my liquid watercolor sprays to make this background and loved how easy it was to make.
The "love" dies are from the kit so I cut those in black and added them with foam tape after heat embossing the word "you."
I added a few sequins from the Winter Sequins mix and that was it!
My last card was made using a piece of the background that I made in my video. I cut a 3" x 6" piece out of it and then heat embossed the Floral Color Wheel Bold Print stamp in Brass Embossing Powder.
I heat embossed a small sentiment from the Better Together set in white embossing powder on black cardstock.
I tied some gold thread around the side of the sentiment piece and attached it with foam tape. Then I added some gems in different colors to finish my card off.
Ok you guys that's it for me today but make sure you enter the giveaway and continue on with our awesome blog hop to catch all of the amazing inspiration along the way!
Have an awesome day!

Hey everybody! It's almost time for the AugustHero ArtsMy 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!

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. One of the things that is really exciting to me about this kit is the inclusion of three of the Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors. I absolutely love these watercolors and the colors that are included in the kit are three of my favorites (Pink, Dandelion and Indigo). I used the liquid watercolors to create my own sprays (I'm planning to have a video on how to do this up on Monday so stay tuned) and they can be used to create the most stunning backgrounds!
After spraying myself a gorgeous background and letting it dry I splattered it with White Glimmer Metallic Ink to give it a galaxy look.
Then, I used one die and one stamp to create a sentiment in black. I love using black with bright colors as it just seems to make everything pop!
Ok, that's it for today you guys! I can't wait until Monday when we get to spill the beans on this whole release because it is so much fun and has so many great elements to it!
While you wait for Monday to roll around make sure you enter to win a kit before you can buy it! Head on over to the Hero Arts Blog to enter.
Bye for now but I'll see you back here soon!
