Good afternoon! Today is the release day for the Hero Arts February My Monthly Hero kit and it’s a must-have!! You should have arrived from May but if not, you can head to the Hero Arts Blog to start at the beginning! The February kit is now available for purchase at Hero Arts but once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good so make sure to head over and shop soon!
The kit contains:
- 1 4X6 clear stamp set
- 20 coordinating dies
- 1 coordinating stencil, with several cutouts included
- 1 Soft Sky ink cube
- 1 sponge for daubing
- 2 thin rolls of glitter washi tape in blue and silver
- 1 skein silver embroidery thread
- Vellum in blue and patterned white
I know everyone might not agree but I kinda love rainy days….especially when I can just watch them from the comfort of my window. And sometimes my cat will join me! 😉
To create my card I die-cut the window with white cardstock and then ran it through my bigshot with the coordinating die that embosses the pretty design into the window die. I also die-cut the kitty with black cardstock and adhered her to the window sill. Next I used a pencil to lightly outline the window die on my card panel so could mask it off to create my sky. I taped off the edges and then blended chipped sapphire, blueprint sketch, and salty ocean distress ink onto my panel to create my sky.
I let the distress ink dry completely and then placed the cloud stencil over my sky and used the sponge to dab unicorn white pigment ink over the sky. I moved the cloud stencil a few times and dabbed the ink on to create dimension. While the pigment ink was still wet I sprinkled it with sparkle embossing powder and heat-set it. Then I removed the masking tape and stamped the sentiment with intense black ink. Finally I adhered the window with foam mounting tape and that’s it!
