August My Monthly Hero Countdown Idea #4 + Giveaway!

We are back with another look at the August My Monthly Hero release! The kit will be available on Monday, August 1st 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 inspiration! Now let’s join Mariana, who is sharing another look at the beautiful optional add-on border die, available on Monday!

Pretty fairies, soft colors and sparkles are just a few of the ingredients that are being featured in the August My Monthly Hero kit. I just love the magic and fantasy that fairies can bring into your projects. So today I am sharing a card that I created with one of the add-on products of this month's kit which is a pretty Floral Border with Frame as well as some other products from the main kit.

I began by creating a card base using the soft printed purple card stock. Next, I used the Floral border to create a window from a woodgrain panel and a purple panel and then, I layered them over the card base to create a shadow effect. The two fairies were stamped with hero_product_link sku="AF345" text="Intense Black Ink"] over hero_product_link sku="PS610" text="Snow Layering Paper"] and colored with watercolors with not a lot of detail, but I put Stickles details on wings and clothes.

After that, I die cut the fairies with their matching frames. I stamped a sentiment over the card and adhered the fairies with foam tape. To finish off my card, I adhered some clear droplets as embellishments.
