Hello and Welcome! I am so excited to be a part of the My Monthly Hero Blog Hop this month! Hero Arts has always been a favorite company of mine since I began stamping so to create again with one of the My Monthly Hero Kits was so much fun!

There is SO much to offer this month, I have so many ideas to do with this kit and the add-ons! I created 3 cards but I am starting out with the stamp set that makes up the core kit, the silhouettes!
I started by creating my background using the new Ombre Reactive Spring Day ink that is part of the add-ons this month. I simply used the ink pad by swiping the blue side halfway up on a piece of cardstock and repeating the same thing with the green portion of the ink pad. I sprayed my panel with a fine water mist and dabbed up the water. I die cut the oval silhouette in white, added foam adhesive over the entire back, and layered it over my ombre inked background. I stamped my sentiment in black ink right at the horizon. To finish I added the stamped and die cut girl swinging silhouette and added her with foam adhesive.
**********************************
My second card uses the add on stamp set and die called Besties Stamp & Cut. I made this knowing I'm giving this to my husband later this month for our 22nd anniversary!
I started by scoring a white notecard on each side by 1/2 inch to create a frame. Using the small leaf stamp in the set, I stamped it in the open rectangle in the center using Hero Arts Soft Brown Shadow Ink. With foam adhesive I added a stamped and die cut wood heart using the same ink but stamping the sentiment in the center with Hero Arts Black Dye Ink.
**********************************
One last CAS card using the Tree Stencil from the core kit. Using Distress Oxide inks, I blended the colors through the stencil and spritzed it generously with water. After stamping 2 sentiments from the Family Portrait stamp set (an add on set), I added a simple thin black cardstock frame and a few gems.
