March My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #5 + giveaway!

MMH Countdown to Creativity

For this Countdown to Creativity post, leading up the launch of the My Monthly Hero kit on Monday, March 7 at noon eastern, I wanted to show you another card using the add-on stamp set, called CL964 Marianne's Flowers. This is the same set that Marianne introduced you to in Idea #4. But I'm showing you that it's perfectly lovely to use, even if you don't own any Copic markers!

You're The Best by Jayne Nelson for Hero Arts

To create my card, I selected the small cluster of flowers from Marianne's Flowers. Using ordinary colored pencils, I colored and fussy-cut the image four times. On the fourth image, I cut a single flower and discarded the rest of the flowers. I layered some patterned and solid papers along the lower edge of the card, and then covered the card front with a panel of yellow layering paper that I heat-embossed with hero_product_link sku="CG689"] using hero_product_link sku="PW118"]. After wrapping the card with a satin bow, I adhered the colored flowers to the card. I added a sentiment banner that I created with yet another add-on to the March kit - DC184 Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut. I heat-embossed with a sentiment from hero_product_link sku="CL954"] onto the banner.
