April My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway

We’re back for another countdown post, leading up to the release of the April My Monthly Hero kit! Release day is Monday, April 3rd at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We’ll be here all weekend long, sharing ideas for using both the main kit, as well as new optional add-on products that will be available on Monday. And don’t forget to comment on each and every post as we’ll be giving away a kit on Monday morning, before the kit launches! Here’s Libby with another look at the new kit.

This month’s My Monthly Hero kit is very glamorous and girlie! While I absolutely love pink tutus and pearls, I wanted to show how you can tone down the girliness just a touch by using earth tones on the images.

I stamped one of the dresses included in the kit multiple times, then colored with watercolors. I love that little hanger in the kit, isn’t it adorable? And I say you can still be perfectly glamorous in a green dress!

This next card focuses on one teeny tiny element in the kit, a sweet little feather. I stamped it repeatedly and then watercolored it, again with the same earth tones. A very quick and simple card, but I love this look.

Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts. The winner will be announced first thing Monday morning, April 3rd, before the kit launches at 1pm Eastern. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

Thanks for stopping by! We’ll be back tomorrow morning with more kit inspiration!
