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 is always an honor! This month's kit was amazing to work with and I have a few cards to share......let's get started!
This month's kit takes us to an aquarium and all things sea life! There are so many options for designs from this kit......I had so many ideas but not enough time! The kit is available for a limited time only - once it's gone, it's gone. Kits begin shipping from Hero Arts on Friday, March 8. 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!
The main kit is just INCREDIBLE! It is a HUGE kit with loads of images and dies to cut everything. The frame die included makes neat aquarium themed cards!
My husband scuba dives and has swam with the sharks and fed them! I knew I had to make a card using these images! I started with a piece of Bristol smooth watercolor paper to which I blended the mini inks Reactive Sea Glass and Reactive Blue Water. Spritzed some water over the top and blotted with a paper towel. I die cut the aquarium frame from black cardstock and using this as a guide, stamped the schools of fish and sentiment in black ink. I stamped my diver and shark with gray ink, die cut, and added them to my scene. As a final touch, I added some of the blue droplets included in the kit!

My second card uses the add-on stamp set called Pet Turtle. This set is just adorable!! I did some simple Copic coloring and with using some stencils from my stash, I created a one layer card except for my die cut images.

My third card uses another adorable add-on set called Fishy Stamp & Cut. I started creating this CAS card by scoring 5 lines at the bottom of my white notecard. This offered a place to "ground" my fish bowl image. I Copic colored my images, added my fishies with foam adhesive, and my white heat embossed sentiment strip. I just LOVE this sentiment!
