Happy June Everyone!
A new month means there's a new Hero Arts My Monthly available on Hero Arts website! You can choose between My Monthly Hero kit for $45 ($88 value) or My Monthly Superhero kit for $75 ($155 value). The kit is called Soak Up the Sun and it is perfect for summer card making! You get summer themed stamps and dies, including sentiments... And a fun stencil set for creating lively looking water. However, from one of my cards today, you'll see that you can actually create faux animal print with it too, lol!
I'll be using the Superhero kit in my post today. Let's have a look at the kit:
I loved this fashionable lady so much that I had to make two cards with her right away! For the outfit of the fabulous blonde beauty I used the water stencil for making a sort of animal print looking fabric. What do you think? I love how both of these turned out. For all other die cutting I've used colored card stock (some of it came with the kit, love those teal ones!) and given them some extra dimension with shading them with inks. The sentiment stamps are included in the kit as well.
With my fabulous blonde animal print lady I'd like to join:
Time Out Challenges: Favorite Beverage (Coke!)
Just Us Girls: Stencils (used in her outfit)
Allsorts Challenge: Anything Goes
Cut It Up Challenges: Friendship (this goes to a fabulous friend who also happens to love Coke!)
A Cut Above: Anything Die Cut Goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes
Before I go, here's another card made with the kit -this time I created actual water with the water stencil! :) Love the summery pool scene and all the texture in the water. I used some clear paste as my top layer and while it was still a bit damp, I spritzed the panel with Hero Arts Shimmer Mist Spray and I'm pleased it stuck in the paste and gave more texture and shine. I did spatter some white paint too, just to add even more movement! It might be worth clicking the photo larger so you can see all the details.
Again I used the card stock from the kit in addition to some marker card -the sun bathing lady is cut from marker card stock and colored with Copics. Sentiment is of course from the kit too. If I've intrigued you to have a closer look of the kit, here are the links again:
Thank you for popping by!
