February My Monthly Hero Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello! Hero Arts February My Monthly Hero kit and add ons are now available. You should have arrived here from Seeka’s blog if you’re following along with the blog hop. What a unique and fun kit Hero Arts has given us this month! We are only limited by our imaginations.

Be sure to read to the bottom for GIVEAWAY details!

Our February My Monthly Hero release was inspired by the art of the Surrealist masters and the magical imagery of dreams. Let your imagination soar with the playful drawings as you arrange your own creative scenes. There are nine different messages to include on your card or project, and the kit is rounded out with black watercolor paper, a water brush, and a custom Daniel Smith watercolor paint palette.

Kit Contents:

• 6” x 8” Clear Stamp Set
• 15 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 2 Sheets of Black Watercolor Paper (5.5″ x 8.5″)
• Watercolor Dot Dream Palette (18 Dots)
• Water Flow Brush
• Kit Value: $75
• Kit Cost: $34.99

1. Stamp the images from the February My Monthly Hero kit with Intense Black Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. Color with Copic marker and die cut with coordinating dies.

Markers are the same for all cards and are listed below.

2. To make the sparkle throughout the scene, make dots with the Copic Blender Pen. This will take away some of the color. Add small and larger dots and crosses with white gel pen.

3. Cut a panel of white cardstock to 4” x 5 1/4” and emboss with the new Star Branches stencil.

4. Stamp the sentiment with Intens-ified Black Ink directly on the embossed panel. Add panel to card base with foam tape.
