Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the March My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, March 4 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We will be here throughout the weekend, sharing plenty of inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Nichol for another look at this fabulous kit.
Hello friends! I'm so excited to be sharing an aquarium card with you today featuring the My Monthly Hero March 2019 Kit. The die cut aquarium images were colored with Copic Markers and the solid fish, rock, fossil, and seaweed images were inked with dye inks, die cut, and assembled "inside" the aquarium.
The background of the aquarium was inked with Blue Water and Sea Glass Reactive Inks, spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer, and set aside to air dry. The school of fish image from the main kit was stamped three times on the background using the Blue Water Reactive Ink.
The aquarium die from the Main Kit was die cut three times from smooth white cardstock.
One of the die cut aquarium frames was adhered over the background.
Images from the main kit were stamped with Hero Arts inks and die cut with the coordinating dies. The following ink color combinations were used for the fish and other images:
Jellyfish (pink/purple): Ultra Pink, Orchid, Passion Flower
Orange Corral: Orange Soda, Crimson
Yellow Fish: Butter Bar, Orange Soda
Seaweed: Moss, Forever Green
Blue Fish: Cornflower, Reactive Blue Water
Sharks: Soft Granite
Rock: Wet Cement, Cup O'Joe
Most of the images were adhered directly to the background. Eyes were added with a black pen.
The top frame images were colored in with the following Copic Marker color combinations:
Leaves: G21, G24, G28
Seaweed: YG21, YG23, YG17
Red Coral: R35, R39
Orange Coral: YR04, YR09
Starfish:YR31, YR24
A piece of acetate was stamped with a sentiment from the main kit using White StazOn Ink and sandwiched between the remaining two frames with the colored frame on top. The rest of the fish were tucked into the top design and eyes were added to the remaining fish.
I hope this has inspired you to build a colorful, layered aquarium with the March My Monthly Hero kit!

Fun. Fun. I have “under the sea” items in my stash but not aquarium. It’ll be fun to see how this kit will enhance and coordinate with other stamps I haven’t used for a while to create more watery scenes.
This is a beautiful card, and thank you very much for specifying all your materials.
Love all the sea elements in this! So colorful! Beautiful arrangement!
Oh my ! Your card is wonderful. Every time I look at it I see something else that I missed before. Can’t wait to see the whole kit!
Oh my gosh this is so clever! Great work
Your aquarium card is absolutely stunning! Such a clever die and a beautiful kit!
The layering and depth of this card is amazing. Nichol you always amaze me with your scene building and the time and detail you put into your scenes. I hope there is a video of this one somewhere. Hero Arts: this is yet another great monthly hero kit! I’m sure it will sell out fast!
So 3Dish. Love the colors..Anyone would love to receive this piece of art.
I adore all the colors! So bright, cheerful and summery!
What a super cute sentiment! Love this!
