I have a couple of cards to share using the add-ons from this month's My Monthly Hero Release!

My first card uses the Color Layering Joey stamp set. This stamp works with several colors/shades of brown and is very easy to line up. My card starts with a masked off sky line/grass line using Broken China and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. I added a few stamped and die cut sprigs of grass along with my stamped Joey. I stamped two sentiments in bold black ink for this CAS card.

*********************************************

My second card uses the Surf's Up Fancy Die Set. This set is AMAZING!!! You can add so many details with these dies! I started with Navy cardstock and literally "lightened" it with white pigment ink and my finger. I did the same for the layering part of the wave die done in teal cardstock.

For my background, I wanted to create a pink/sunset type of sky. Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks were blended in ombre fashion over a panel of white cardstock. I stamped some birds and a sentiment from the Beach HeroScape stamp set. I love the font in the sentiment from this set! I added my wave to a 5/8" strip of navy cardstock onto my pink sky background. As a final touch, I added a surfer girl and surfboard.
