It's time for our second countdown peek! The July My Monthly Hero kit will be available to pre-order on Monday, July 13 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let’s join Daniel for some fabulous inspiration using this month's kit!
Hey there, friends and fans of the My Monthly Hero! Daniel here with some underwater adventure to Atlantis! This month's kit has us looking for the ancient legend and finding so many fun things at the bottom of the sea.
To create this scene, I began by creating a background scene on Dove White Cardstock by blending some Deep Ocean and Cornflower inks in diagonal lines across the front. Then, I die cut the foreground image die out and with the negative piece, I stenciled in some ridges near the bottom with the blending brush. To finished the background, I stamped the ruins, the Atlantean and the dolphin images in Deep Ocean Ink, and the sentiment in Intens-ified Black Ink.
To create the foreground image, I laid down the most solid layer with Cornflower ink. Then, I added the detail layer with Deep Ocean. for the last colored layer, I used Dandelion, Pale Tomato and Rose Madder inks. Finally, I die cut the foreground image out and popped it up on the front of the card base and trimmed of the overhang.
