We are back for another countdown post, leading up to the release of the May My Monthly Hero kit!. Release day is Monday, May 7th at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We'll be sharing ideas for using both the main kit, as well as new optional add-on products that will be available on Monday. And don't forget to leave a comment on this and every post as we will be giving away a kit on Monday. Now let's join Michelle who is sharing another look at this fabulous kit...
Isn't this just a wonderful kit! It is perfect for so many occasions. I just love the frame die in the main kit (I think this is a big favorite among all of the Creative Team), so I wanted to use that for my card today.
I started off by creating my background. I took a piece of watercolour paper and using an ink blending tool, applied the Ombre Reactive Spring Day Ink Pad, which is an add-on this month. I used all three colours and blended them so it looks like soft grass and sky. I then sprinkled on some water, let it sit and picked up any excess with a paper towel. This was added to a white card base with tape runner.
I then took the frame die from the kit and die cut this from white cardstock. The frame was then added on to the card with foam tape. I took one of the sentiments from the main kit stamp set and stamped this on to black cardstock with Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. This was added to the card with a combination of tape runner and foam tape. To finish off, I added a few clear jewels.
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 the comments left across all the countdown posts, and announce the winner first thing Monday morning, 7th May, before the kit launches at 1pm eastern. The more you comment, the more chances to win!
Good luck!
This card is so delicate and shouts “warm, beautiful spring day!” Love the soft colors of the ombre inka!
Such a beautiful card. The color blending is beautiful.
Love this frame, I think it says a spring/summer scene just as it is, a peaceful place to be. Thank you for the inspiration.
I think this style of die may have to be the next on the list of basic supplies to buy to have for a complete craft space—-and this design is wonderful for so many occasions. It is simple, and sweet, and nostalgic, and brings back memories of a swing like that at my uncle’s house when I was a kid. Amazing how a simple background and a bit of dimension really show off the design. Thank you.
The intricate design with the swing from the tree makes me think of my childhood, just love it!
Love this beautiful die and the soft colors you used. Just lovely. I’ll definitely be wanting this Kit
Not only the background looks amazing but the die does add a lot of element to the card!
Love the silhouette look
I LOVE that little swing in the tree! It just says, “Come & sit awhile!” Such a NICE WAY to spend some time this summer! ;) A LOVELY CARD with the sponged on color to make this frame POP! ;)
Looking like a terrific kit. Can’t wait to see it all.
