September My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #2 + Giveaway

Hello! We are continuing the countdown to the release of the September My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Tuesday, September 3rd at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. Now let's join Caly for another look at our next kit!

Hi, Friends! Do you love the Peek-A-Boo products from Hero Arts? If so, you're in for a new creative treat! We currently have the Peek-A-Boo Doors Fancy Die and the Circular Peek-A-Boo Doors Fancy Die, and now with this kit, we'll have a new peek-a-boo style!

This kit comes with many small stamps to fill the openings, some of which are Halloween-themed. I decided to make my card a friendship theme.

I started by die-cutting the peek-a-boo die from the kit using white cardstock. I find that this helps me line up my stamp better. Tip: Place the stamps you want over the doors of your stamped/die-cut panel to make sure everything lines up perfectly in your favorite stamp positioner tool, then place a blank piece of paper over that panel and stamp - this ensures that everything lines up well when you adhere the two pieces together.

I colored to mimic stacked vintage briefcases. But I didn't want them to be brown or black, so I colored with Copic markers using pinks, purples, greens and blues.

Copic marker colors used: N1, Y13, Y26, B0000, B01, RV11, R85, G00, BG32, V000, V01, V04.

The t-brackets and labeling plates are colored with a gold Wink of Luna pen - I thought this would give more contrast to the gold-colored around each "case." Once I colored, I folded back all the doors to make them easier to open after adhering the peek-a-boo panel to the reveal panel.

I DO love the new peek-a-boo style stamps and fancy door dies!!! I also love that you made your card a friendship card! So sweet, and so is the color palette you’ve chosen.
