Good morning! We’re continuing the Hero Arts April My Monthly Hero Countdown today and I’m sharing a bright and cheery card using the fun new kit!
The kit comes with three fun layering stencils and I decided to just use one stencil and rotate it to get different designs! I started by inking it with pool party reactive ink. Then I turned it a quarter turn and inked it with blue raspberry reactive ink. Once my inks were dry I turned it again and spread moonstone glimmer paste over the stencil. If your ink it still wet it can change the color of the paste so be sure to let it sit or blast it quickly with you heat gun! After I lifted the stencil I set the panel aside to dry completely.
Next I stamped the cute fish from the kit with Hero Arts inks in canary, citrine, and butter bar. I die cut them with the coordinating dies and added a sentiment stamped on pitch black cardstock and heat-embossed with white embossing powder. I adhered them to my stenciled panel with foam mounting tape to give them a little extra dimension!
And that’s it for me! Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the April My Monthly Hero kit all weekend long!! And I’ll be back Monday with the full kit reveal and more inspiration!
