Hero Arts / My Monthly Hero September Blog Hop / Giveaway

Lantern plant

Hello and Welcome!  
I am so excited to be a part of the My Monthly Hero Blog Hop this month!  Hero Arts is one of my favorite companies so designing with the My Monthly Hero Kits was so much fun!

You can now subscribe to receive the kit monthly and never miss one!  The kit value is over $70......but only costs $34.99.  Once this kit is gone, it's gone!

My first card uses the core stamp set and dies.  It features this gorgeous Chinese Lantern Plant.  I've colored my images with Copic markers and die cut using the coordinating dies.  I layered my image over a stenciled background using the Ornate Floral Stencil (LOVE!!), stamped my sentiment, and added some sequins!

My second card uses one of the add-on stamp sets/dies which features the fun Chinese lantern images from Autumn Moon.

I Distress Ink blended a background and created a scene for my lanterns to hang.  All my images were Copic colored and added with foam adhesive.  To keep this super simple, I simply stamped my sentiment in black ink.
