We are back with another look at the December My Monthly Hero release! The kit will be available on Monday, December 4th at 1pm Eastern/10 am Pacific. We’ll be sharing ideas for using the main kit and optional add-on products all weekend long, so stay tuned for more project inspiration! Now let’s join Clare, who is sharing another look at this fabulous kit.
I think I'm a little obsessed with making backgrounds with this month's kit - it just screams for dramatic metallics and rich colors!
Today's background was inspired by THIS beautiful pin! I loved the colors, so I recreated them myself with some ink and the beautiful stencil included in the kit.
I started by covering the darkest Sea layering paper with Deep Ocean ink, and then heat setting it. Keep in mind that covering a lighter or uncoated cardstock may result in a slightly different saturation.
After heat setting, I covered the base with the stencil and applied Navy ink. Subtle, but so pretty!
I heat set the Navy ink as well, and then covered it with anti-static powder. The palm trees - from the main kit - were stamped and heat embossed in Gold, and then I added little stars to fill in the rest of the background.
The sentiment, from Color Layering Poppy, was heat embossed in Gold as well, then layered on some navy cardstock and adhered to the base. Some pretty gold sequins (small ones from the Champagne sequin mix) finished off the card!
Thanks for stopping in today and God bless!

Wonderful card. I love the inkblending with the stencil, it is subtle and elegant!
I love the colour combination – the gold on dark blue looks amazing!
The detail in the background of your card is just beautiful! I love the subtle tone on tone stamping. Those details, that people who don’t make cards probably don’t really take in, are what make those same people know there is something special about your cards. When you added gold to that dark background, it really popped right off the card. Just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!
I love the colors! So pretty!
I never knew you could
Heat emboss on top of heat embossing. . .still learning from the professionals
So beautiful and now a little hint with bold color and palm trees! The wait is almost over.
The blue and gold is so elegant!!!
I love the blue and gold color combination, and how you used the stencil on the background!
Love the background, great color combination
Beautiful. I love the gold embossing on
the deep blue background.
The way the trees are interspersed
amongst the stars is wonderful.
