April My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #4 + Giveaway

April My Monthly Hero Countdown: Idea #4 + Giveaway

Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the April My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, April 1st at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We will be here for the rest of the weekend, sharing inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Michelle for another look at this fabulous kit.

Hello there, Michelle here. Another wonderful kit this month! There are lots of dies to make wonderful scenes in the kit, but today, I thought I would use just one of them for a clean and simple look.

Wishing You The Best by Michelle Short for Hero Arts

I started off by die cutting one of the landscape/building dies from Dove White Cardstock. This die has an open end at the bottom so I could place the die towards the top of the panel. I then sat this aside to work on my background. I took a Top Folded Card Base and started blending inks on top to create a sunset.

Using a blending brush to get a smooth blend, I started with Butter Bar and Dandelion at the bottom and moved up to Soft Cantaloupe and Orange Soda. I finished off with Pale Tomato at the top. I took the sentiment from the kit stamp set and stamped this on top with black ink. I then added the scene panel on top with foam tape to finish the card.

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 countdown posts, and announce the winner first thing Monday morning, April 1st, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

Good luck!

Beautiful card—looks like Rome! I can still see it, even though it’s been 37 years since I was stationed in Italy. Love the soft colors—I’ll bet a night scene would also be gorgeous. I can hardly co rain myself waiting for reveal day!!!

Simple but gorgeous. Interesting how all the other card clearly look Italian but this could be almost anywhere. Has a bit of a middle eastern look to it. Nice design!
