July My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #8 + Giveaway!

MMH Countdown to Creativity

We've made it to our final countdown post before the launch of the My Monthly Hero kit at 1pm eastern tomorrow, July 5! We'll be announcing our countdown winner first thing in the morning before the kit goes live, so be sure you've commented on all of the posts for more chances to win! For our final sneak peek, Clare is sharing another gorgeous card made with the jellyfish in the kit...

One of my favorite things about layering stamp sets is that you don't have to layer with them! For this card, I was inspired by THIS pin. I stamped the jellyfish in hero_product_link sku="AF234" text="Navy"], and watercolored in some hero_product_link sku="AF275" text="Soft Vanilla"], hero_product_link sku="AF168" text="Soft Pink"], and hero_product_link sku="AF146" text="Soft Pool"].

I stamped some bubbles in Navy as well, and filled them in with Glossy Accents for some shine.

I wanted to keep the focus on the background, so I kept the sentiment simple, by heat embossing the greeting on navy using hero_product_link sku="PW110" text="white embossing powder"], and topping it off with some hero_product_link sku="CH283" text="pool pearl accents"].

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 of the comments left across all countdown posts, and announce the winner first thing Tuesday morning, July 5, before the kit launches at 1pm eastern. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

See you tomorrow for the kit launch!
