Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the March My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, March 4 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. We will be here throughout the weekend, sharing plenty of inspiration before the launch. Now let's join Nichol for another look at this fabulous kit.
Hello friends! I'm so excited to be sharing an aquarium card with you today featuring the My Monthly Hero March 2019 Kit. The die cut aquarium images were colored with Copic Markers and the solid fish, rock, fossil, and seaweed images were inked with dye inks, die cut, and assembled "inside" the aquarium.
The background of the aquarium was inked with Blue Water and Sea Glass Reactive Inks, spritzed with water from a Distress Sprayer, and set aside to air dry. The school of fish image from the main kit was stamped three times on the background using the Blue Water Reactive Ink.
The aquarium die from the Main Kit was die cut three times from smooth white cardstock.
One of the die cut aquarium frames was adhered over the background.
Images from the main kit were stamped with Hero Arts inks and die cut with the coordinating dies. The following ink color combinations were used for the fish and other images:
Jellyfish (pink/purple): Ultra Pink, Orchid, Passion Flower
Orange Corral: Orange Soda, Crimson
Yellow Fish: Butter Bar, Orange Soda
Seaweed: Moss, Forever Green
Blue Fish: Cornflower, Reactive Blue Water
Sharks: Soft Granite
Rock: Wet Cement, Cup O'Joe
Most of the images were adhered directly to the background. Eyes were added with a black pen.
The top frame images were colored in with the following Copic Marker color combinations:
Leaves: G21, G24, G28
Seaweed: YG21, YG23, YG17
Red Coral: R35, R39
Orange Coral: YR04, YR09
Starfish:YR31, YR24
A piece of acetate was stamped with a sentiment from the main kit using White StazOn Ink and sandwiched between the remaining two frames with the colored frame on top. The rest of the fish were tucked into the top design and eyes were added to the remaining fish.
I hope this has inspired you to build a colorful, layered aquarium with the March My Monthly Hero kit!

Love the sentiment of the card and all the cute fish…….Not a fan of fish, but this kit will be great in your stamp collection. It was really inspiring. Great job Nichol.
Such a beautiful card! There is so much going on in such a small space. My favourite of the kit is the school of fish. They add so much dimension and movement to the scene.
Love your aquarium card! So pretty!
Nichol, you have done it again! The layered aquarium is fabulous with all that wonderful sea life. The sense of depth and the colors – well, all I can say is wow!
Great card! I’m really loving this aquarium theme with all the neat sea life, etc. Looks like a lot of fun to “play” with. Thanks for sharing your colorful and fun card!
This is a fun and colorful card, it has so many layers and movement going on. The little shark stamp is so cute, it’s my favorite so far! (But the little crab is also adorable.)
Nichol, your use of color and detail is spot on.
This kit is spectacular as is Nichol’s card!! The details on the Aquarium Frame and the stamps are beautiful. This is definitely a must have NOW kit lol, I can’t wait for Monday 1pm to get here to get this ordered!
This is one cool card! Great job!
