Hello and welcome as we continue the countdown to the release of the October My Monthly Hero Kit! Release day is Monday, October 1st at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Stay tuned for more inspiration all weekend long! Now let's join Michelle for another look at this Christmas and Winter inspired kit.
I am not sure why, but I really love making winter cards. I especially love snowflakes and I think they work perfectly for sending some winter cheer to friends.
For my card I started off with a panel of watercolour paper. I then took the 'winter wishes' sentiment from the main kit stamp set and stamped this on to the panel using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. I then took the two snowflake stamps and randomly stamped these over the background towards the top, with Versamark Ink again. This time I heat embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder to get the added detail in the snowflakes.
I then took Distress Inks in Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet and Dusty Concord and blended these over the panel with an ink blending tool. I took the iridescent ink that is in the kit and splattered this over the panel with a paintbrush. I did use a quite a lot of this, but you can never have too much shimmer can you? :) I set the piece aside to dry.
I took the deer from the stamp set and stamped this on to white cardstock with Intense Black Ink and coloured with Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating Frame Cuts to cut it out. The panel was added to a 4.5" x 4.5" white card base with foam sheet and double sided tape and then the deer added on top with thin foam tape.

The iridescent ink is magical and so is this card!
What a sweet little deer! Beautiful ink blending and love that shimmer!
I love the background. The colors are so pretty and the deer looks so sweet.
Beautiful card. Could be used for the holidays or a winter " hello". I’m sure the kit us gonna be great!
Michelle, this is so sweet! I love your shading and the charming little snowflakes – this just embodies the beauty of a fresh fallen snow of winter. The deer is just so sweet! I love the card – TFS!
I love that winter cards are brought to life with so many lovely colors for sky backgrounds. Your choice of color and the simplicity of the background and deer make it seem quiet and peaceful – just like during a snowstorm!
Beautiful! The fawn is so adorable! I’m looking forward to seeing the entire kit.
The simplicity of this card makes it a true winner
This is a lovely, ethereal card. I really like the colors you chose; they add to the “feel” of the card. I can’t wait to see the whole kit. It looks really fantastic so far!!!
