Hello! It's time for another look at the July My Monthly Hero Kit before the kit releases on Monday, July 1 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We will be here for the rest of the weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Caly for another look at this fabulous kit.
Hi, Friends! We're creating with a lake scene-building set this month - all about summer fun! I really enjoy not having to color images sometimes and being able to use those neglected colored ink pads can be fun!
I created my scene by stamping the mountain using Soft Granite and Charcoal ink. Then I stamped the dock using Soft Brown and Cup O Joe ink. After cutting those two images using the coordinating dies, I set them aside to work on my background.
I chose where I wanted the mountain to sit on my card, than used it as a guide for my ink-blending. I ink-blended Soft Yellow ink for the sunlight, then Soft Sky and Navy ink for the sky and lake water. I also used the Navy ink to stamp the water ripples and the rest of the silhouette images to fill my scene using Intense Black ink.
To complete my card, I adhered the mountain and dock onto my card. The sentiment is stamped on Dove White cardstock and matted with Pitch Black cardstock to help it stand out and is adhered to my card using foam adhesive.
I love the silhouettes of the kids jumping into the lake, don't you? I'm not much of a water person, but I can picture my kids having that much fun!

This card brings me back to childhood summers spent on Cape Cod and learning to swim at the local pond. Thanks, Caly.
I’m loving this kit so far. Some great landscape scene cards. Great card Caly.
Life IS better at the lake! Beautiful ink blending and I love the depth this set creates. Looking forward to this release!
This card makes me smile. It brings back such fond memories of my youth (many, many years ago) when my family would go to the lake for a day of fun. I really love the theme of this kit — and your card is wonderful.
Marvelous scene – and great card! Looking forward to the full reveal of this awesome kit!
Love the card. I want to go to the lake now! I’m exited to see this kit!
Reminds me of summers with our kids in the Adirondacks.
A reminder of my Summer camping days. Lots of fun!
I loved it before I knew about the silhouettes of the kids, now I am completely at awe. I can’t fair to make fun summer cards with thus kit.
Super fun scene! Those kids jumping in the water looks like they are having the time of their lives. Looks to be another winner of a kit.
