Good morning! We’re continuing the countdown to the Hero Arts August My Monthly Hero kit today and I’m sharing a slimline card using the new kit!
I started by blending my background using orchid, passion flower, peony, butter bar and lemon yellow inks. Then I used granite and charcoal inks (and varying pressure) to blend over the layering stencils included in the kit! I used a coordinating die to die-cut the scene and then adhered it to my slimline panel. Finally I heat-embossed a sentiment from the kit onto the sky to finish the card!
And that’s it for me! Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the August My Monthly Hero kit all weekend long!! And then I’ll be back tomorrow with the full kit reveal!!
For a chance to win a kit before you can buy it, just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts. The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning, August 1st, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!
Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
Wonderful slimline SW landscape creation.
