*********************************************
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 Cherry Blossom Fancy Die and a sentiment from Zen Messages.  I kept this very simple but added a few details to really bring the Cherry Blossom to life.  After die cutting all the blossoms, the centers were Copic colored and blended.  Then fine glitter was added to the centers of the blossoms.  The blossoms were layered over the branch image and a sentiment was stamped in black ink.

My second card uses the new Dreams Will Blossom.  

Again keeping this simple, I stamped, colored, and die cut one main image.  Abandoned Coral Distress Ink was lightly blended in the background.  Score lines were added to the left and bottom sides.  A sentiment from the same set was stamped to ground the image and a few flat sequins were added.

My third card uses the adorable Kittens in Kimonos.  This set is just adorable!

I started by stamping the background using the new Parasol Pattern Bold Prints background stamp in a light blue ink.  My kitten and parasol were Copic colored and cut out.  They were added on a sentiment strip using a sentiment from the Kittens in Kimonos.
