October My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + Giveaway!

Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the October My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, October 1st at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Stay tuned for more inspiration later today! Now let's join Ilina for another look at this Christmas and Winter inspired kit.

I am not sure about you, but Christmas season is my favorite when it comes to crafting. So, with no doubt I am totally in love with the new Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit. The possibilities are limitless with all the images included in the kit. For my card today I decided to build a little scene using a few of the images included in the kit.

To make the card I started by stamping the images I wanted to use onto Alcohol Marker friendly white card stock and Intense Black ink. I colored them with Copics and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I added some details using White Gel pen and the new Iridescent Ink (included in the kit). Set them aside to dry.

To make my background I created a mask for the snow and added to a white panel measuring 4" x 5 1/2", then ink blended the "sky" using Dusty Blue and Soft Sky Shadow inks. I added some Iridescent Ink using a paint brush onto the bottom to resemble snow.

Once the panel was dry I arranged my images and adhered using foam adhesive to add a little dimension. Next I stamped the sentiment with Versamark onto Black card stock and embossed with PW110 white embossing powder, trimmed and adhered to my panel.

To finish off the card I adhered my panel using fun foam to a red note card.

Thank you so much for joining me today and hope you are inspired to do something creative!
