September My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #3 + Giveaway

MMH Countdown to Creativity

We're back with our third post for the day, sharing more inspiration for using our September My Monthly Hero kit! We'll be posting all weekend long, including Monday - leading up to the kit launch on Tuesday, September 6 at 1pm eastern/10am pacific. Let's see what Amy made with this month's kit!

My favorite season is fall..both in crafting projects and wardrobe.  I'm especially excited for this month's My Monthly Hero because it is full of fall fun.

Grateful by Amy Tsuruta for Hero Arts

I layered up two of the wreath dies, the bottom layer is an optional add-on, DI327 Branch Wreath Fancy Die, that has been cut with cork from my stash.  I layered one that is part of the main kit on top.  My card has a color combo that I don't typically use but love it for the fall:  Burnt Orange, Kraft and Blue.

The blue wreath has been cut from hero_product_link sku="PS623" text="Sea Mixed Layering Paper"].  The grateful has been stamped in hero_product_link sku="AF366" text="Ombre' Autumn Ink"] and fussy cut.

The first 2 layers of panels are from the main kit.  I added the Ranger Watercolor panel to use a Color Burst in Burnt Orange.

That's it for me today!  Would love to hear what your go-to fall color combos are!
