January My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #4 + Giveaway!

Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the January My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, January 7th at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let's join Michelle for another look at this wonderful kit and optional add-ons!

What a wonderful kit! It is perfect for so many occasions. I went with a simple 'hello' card today using the main kit stamp set, as well as a couple of the add-on products.

I started off by stamping the flowers that will go in the containers first. These are from the main kit stamp set. I masked these off (making rough masks) and then stamped the bucket, pail and wooden crate below them. I masked these off too and then also the bottom of the card base below the images.

I took the Heart & Flowers Bold Prints (which is an add-on this month) and stamped this on to the card panel with Mint Julep Mid-Tone Shadow Ink. I then blended more ink on to the panel around the images with a blending tool. I removed the masks and coloured the images with Copic markers.

I took the 'hello' sentiment from the You Are Loved Flourish Messages set, which is also an add-on product this month (releasing on Monday with the kit) and stamped this in the top right hand corner with Intense Black Ink. The panel was added to a white A2 card base with tape runner and then to ground the images, I added a thin strip of black cardstock.
