It's time for our final countdown peek before the release of the May My Monthly Hero kit! The kit will be available tomorrow, Monday, May 6 at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Now let’s join Nichol, who is sharing another look at this fun kit!
Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a crafting happiness card inspired by a couple of quilting/sewing projects I've made multiple times. I adore the look of rainbow colored pencils so I stamped, colored, and die cut many, many colored pencils using an image from the May main kit and created a double border along the bottom of my card!
The background of the card was stamped on a white card background with the add-on Crafting Tools Bold Prints using Soft Granite Ink. Sentiments from the main kit were stamped along the top half of the card using Black Ink.
The colored pencil image from the main kit was stamped 40 times on Bristol Smooth cardstock, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, die cut, layered, and adhered along the bottom edge of the background with foam adhesive. The foam adhesive give the border a bit of dimension from the busy background.
Hearts from the main kit were stamped on Bristol Smooth cardstock, colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, die cut and adhered above the sentiment as shown. The hearts were finished with Crystal Lacquer for a bit of glossy shine!

Nichol-this is another fabulous card from you. The final outcome was well worth all the effort of stamping that pencil 40 times. It is so nice to see what a fellow quilter can come up with. That background add-on stamp is going to be a must have!
What a wonderful sentiment, and I LOVE THE COLORED PENCILS. This is very inspiring.
I really like the granite color with the background stamp. It made the beautiful bright colors really pop. A great card for another crafter!
All those pencils lined up make my heart happy! Love this!
Love all your designs Nichol. I watch all your videos and wait for each new one to come out. Love this one as I do all of them. Great job!!! Thank you for sharing.
