Hello! We are continuing the countdown to the release of the July My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, July 1 at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We will be here for the rest of the weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Michelle for another look at this fabulous kit!
Hello, Michelle here and I am delighted to be sharing the second countdown idea with you today. What a wonderful kit this month! I have to be honest, I am definitely more of an indoor person but I love landscapes, so I was instantly drawn towards the trees and mountains in the main stamp set.
I started off my card by die cutting a panel of Hero Hues Dove White Cardstock using a Nesting Circle Infinity Die. Using my Mini MISTI, I placed the first layer of trees at the bottom of the circle and stamped this using Pine Bold Ink. I stamped the second layer on top with Forever Green Mid-Tone Shadow Ink. I made a mask for the trees before stamping the mountains.
I stamped the first layer of mountains using Soft Granite Shadow Ink. Because I wanted the ink to be lighter, I stamped off first on to a scrap piece of paper and then stamped the residual ink on to the piece. I did this a few times to get the colour that I wanted. I then stamped the second layer with the full strength of Soft Granite Ink.
The mask was removed and the sky coloured using pale blue Copic Markers. I then stamped the birds using Charcoal Mid-Tone Shadow Ink. The sentiment was stamped using Intense Black Ink. I took a top-folding card base and embossed the next largest Nesting Circle Infinity Die on the front panel. The image panel was adhered on top with foam tape.

Your card makes me want to head for the mountains and a lake! Beautiful.
Great kit. I like what you have done with the layering of the trees. Cutting a circle gives added dimension to your lovely card.
Love how serene this card is!
Beautiful scene!
I am always interested in clean and simple but it’s something that doesn’t come easy to me. Thanks for sharing
