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

This first card was so fun to create!  The galaxy background was done by blending Blueprint Sketch, Mustard Seed, Black Soot, Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers, and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks.  To create all the stars, I spritzed water (let it dry) and then Shimmer Spray.  I created my moon by simply inking up a pencil eraser into some grey ink and "stamping" it onto a half circle die cut that was blended with grey ink.  I stamped, colored, and fussy cut out my planet and astronaut from the new set Galaxy Peek-a-Boo Parts.  My sentiment was white heat embossed and then my images were added with foam adhesive.

My second card uses the new set called Shine Bright.  

Shine Bright

I ink blended Broken China Distress Ink over the top of a white cardstock panel.  Then, remember the Sun Background Stencil from last month's release?  I used it over the top of the "water" I was creating for this effect of light shining into the water from above.  I stamped and added my die cut dolphin image, from Shine Bright, along with a sentiment from the set.  Once done, the whole panel was spritzed with Shimmer Spray.

My last card uses yet more ink blending but from the side this time.  This card uses the new set called You're My Universe.

You're My Universe 

After ink blending from the side, I stamped trail of stars in the same ink, Broken China Distress Ink.  This panel was then spritzed with Shimmer Spray.  I added my Copic colored, die cut moon along with some stars that were dipped in the Shimmer Spray as well.  A simple sentiment white heat embossed onto a black sentiment strip was trimmed at an angle and added to the card.

I am sharing the last TWO stamp sets and they are so adorable........Party Pals and Corgi Cuties!

Party Pals2

My first card begins with masking off a rectangle in the center of a white panel to ink blend Distress Ink.  Over this, I added some sun rays with a stencil from my stash (but could easily be done without).  I then stamped the CELEBRATE in bold black ink at the bottom.  I added my Copic colored die cut kitty with colorful balloons with foam adhesive.

Party Pals3

My tag was done with another image from Party Pals and adhered to the new Inside Scallop Circle Tag.  I love the stitching included on this tag!  I layered a standard circle and then the white cutout on top.

Corgi Cuties

Corgi Cuties is going to be a favorite in my house!  My daughter has been wanting a Corgi for years.  We already have 3 dogs or else I would probably give in!  ♥

This set is super easy to color.  I added some polka dot paper from Darling Dots 6x6 Paper Pad in behind a strip of stamped cardstock with the word WOOF from the stamp set.  The cursive sentiment was stamped below and my images were added with foam adhesive.

Today's featured set and coordinating dies is fantastic.  Girl Power is a super hero stamp set sharing the power of being stronger together!

I started with a piece of blue card stock and die cut the Burst Confetti Cuts.  I love the stitched detail it leaves on your card stock.  I backed this panel with clear acetate so I could assemble my shaker card.  Once I was done, I added foam adhesive and iridescent sequins.  I added the die cut word 'GRL PWR' out of black cardstock to the center of the die cut area.  I stamped some hearts, added a sentiment strip, and my super girl.  I smile every time I see this little girl.....reminds me of my daughter when wearing all the "fake glasses" was popular!  I'm sure this card will find its way to her soon!!

I have two projects to share today using some of the NEW florals to hit Reverse Confetti.  

First up, Bowl of Blooms.  This is such a gorgeous set with sentiments in a lovely font.  I colored my image with Copic markers and added highlights with a white pigment pen.  The image was die cut and layered with foam adhesive over a black frame from Stitched Note and Frames Confetti Cuts.  A small but mighty sentiment from Sketched Florals was stamped in the upper right corner.

Sketched Florals  

The second set is called Sketched Florals.  This set is an imperfect floral layering set meaning the images don't line up exactly with the outline.  I love this look!!!  I stamped a few of the images using various Reverse Confetti inks.  

I layered the images onto the new Center Circle Cover Panel.  My center was ink blended with Broken China Distress Ink and this panel was layered over a piece of pattern paper from Under the Umbrella 6x6 paper pad.  I added a tiny bow to wrap my flowers with and some white gems.  To finish, I curved my sentiment and stamped in black ink.

I love the colors from the challenge and the inspiration photo so I went to work re-creating the look.  I created my own faux distressed blue barnwood with a panel of scored cardstock that was ink blended with Mermaid Lagoon and Pumice Stone Distress Inks.  I Copic colored these adorable smiling images from Pucker Up.  These are super easy to color!  Everything was assembled as per the card sketch challenge.
