January My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #3 + Giveaway

MMH Countdown to Creativity

We are back with another day of inspiration using our January My Monthly Hero kit! The kit will be available on Monday, January  9th at 1pm eastern/10am pacific. We’ll be sharing ideas for using the main kit and the optional add-on products all weekend long, so stay tuned for more sneak peeks!  And, remember to comment on each and every post as we’ll be giving away a kit on Monday morning, before the kit launches!  In this post, Amy shares a clean and simple card that she created with some of the stamps and dies included in the January monthly kit along with an optional add-on set.

will-you-be-mine-by-amy-tsuruta-for-hero-artsThe January My Monthly Hero kit is gorgeous!  Perfect for Valentine’s Day plus so much more!  My card today focuses on Valentine’s Day.  If you’ve been following me, I love the color green but I’m quickly warming up to purple!  I think purple roses are absolutely beautiful!  The blooms have been stamped in Chalkboard Shadow Ink and colored with Peerless Watercolors.  I love it when flower shops wrap the bouquets in kraft paper.  My wrap has been stamped with Soft Brown Shadow Ink onto a panel from the Earth Mixed Layering Papers.

The sentiment is from the optional add-on, CM149 Love Notes.  It has been stamped in Chalkboard Shadow Ink.

Everything is nestled onto a watercolor panel that has been cut with the new DI345 Nesting Postage Stamps Infinity Dies.  I’m a big fan of white space!

We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all of the comments left across all countdown posts, and announce the winner first thing Monday morning, January 9th, before the kit launches at 1pm eastern.
