Hello and welcome to day 2 of the countdown to the release of the April My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, April 6 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. A reminder, this month shipping will be delayed. Currently we estimate that shipping will begin April 20. We know you are excited to get your kit and appreciate your patience as we work through delays during this time of COVID-19. We are sending love and support, as well as healing thoughts to those who know people who have fallen sick or are sick themselves.
Let's see what our newest Creative Team member came up with...
Hey there! Daniel West here to show off the My Monthly Hero Card Kit for April 2020 with a switch up on the stencil included in this kit.
The landscape stencil includes a wavy foreground and a cloudy sky with a sun or moon, depending on how you use it! For this card, I used the stencil to create an Aussie desert scene with Reactive Inks, blender brushes and some masking. I figured the change-up on this card would give you some ideas on how to use the stencil for all it's worth!
To begin, I prepped the stencil with some tacky spray adhesive and laid it down over a 4 x 5.25" panel of Dove White cardstock. Then, I gently added ink down the front of the panel in Blue Hawaii, Taffy, and Lemon Drop inks. Then, I masked off the bottom portion in two sections by cutting rounded shapes out plain paper. Each dune got a different color: Fruit Punch and Berry Smoothie. For each color, I turned the stencil in a different direction.
Next, I placed my critters, sentiment and tree from the main kit into the Hero Arts MISTI and stamped them on the front with Intensified Black Ink.
To finish off the card, I popped up my panel on the front of a top folded card base using fun foam and Precision Glue.

Beautiful card. The Aussie themed card kit is awesome.
Love your background the colors are so beautiful . This kit truly will inspire you too take a step back and be amazed with the beauty of nature.
Love the colors! I can see the possibility of this stencil in creating a zebra pattern background too.
Wow! Very vibrant. Loving this kit.
Love how creatively you’ve used the stencil! Can’t wait to see what it looks like in its entirety!
I really like the stencil and like what Daniel did to the dunes by using two colors. The tree is so different in a really good way from any other trees on the market. Very versatile and can’t wait to use it!
I am loving the animals in this release. Those stencils are amazing. I love the bright colors. Can’t wait to see more.
Thanks Daniel for showing us how to be creative with the stencil.
Your card design certainly does give you the feeling of being down under.
Great color combo.
Each day I grow more and more fond of this stencil in our upcoming kit. Thank you Daniel, for offering us a creativity edge! Love the color combos as well. Great job!
I like the sentiments in this kit!
