Hello and Happy Monday. I’m excited to be sharing a few cards today in celebration of the My Monthly Hero kit release for October. I’m actually only showcasing THIS<\/a> add-on set on my cards, but you can find the main kit HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI kept the design of all three cards the same, just changed up the colors and orientation. I stamped the scene using black ink on to watercolor cardstock and then stamped the images again on THIS<\/a> masking paper. I cut them out using THESE <\/a>scissors and placed them on top of the images. I applied a variety of different Distress Ink colors for the backgrounds and then removed the masks and used THESE<\/a> markers to color in the images.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I embossed all the card bases with THIS<\/a> stencil using THIS<\/a> embossing pad with my Big Shot machine. I love the texture it gives…<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I used glitter paper to mat each heart scene. I used THESE<\/a> nesting heart dies.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

I made sure to add a lot of THIS<\/a> for some sparkle and shine.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nKEEP HOPPING<\/u><\/b>
\nThere is so much inspiration using the main kit and add-on products. Check it out…
