Hero Arts May My Monthly Hero Countdown Day 1

Hello! I’m joining in the countdown to the release of the May My Monthly Hero kits. Be sure to read to the end for a giveaway and come back Monday for the May My Monthly Hero release!

1. Use the stencil and ink included in the kit to create a soft background that fades to the edges.

2. Die cut the bicycle first then use the stamps and inks from the kit to create the bike. The brown ink is Vintage Photo and the gray is Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Inks.

3. Stamp the remaining images from the kit and die cut with coordinating dies.

4. Add a small amount of detail to the stamped images with colored pencils. I added some lines to the basket, outlined some of the bicycle parts and added detail to the flowers. It’s subtle but I think it made a difference.

5. Stamp the sentiment in Vintage Photo Distress Oxide on the stenciled panel. Cut the panel to 4 x 5 1/4” and add to an A2 card base with foam tape.

6. Adhere the die cut images to the card using thin foam squares.

  2. Cute card. I agree that adding details to stamped images with pencils and markers can make a big difference. I just don’t always remember to do it. Thanks for the reminder!

  3. Love the way you faded the color from the center of the stencil to edges. Lovely way to highlight the die-cut images and create a background without overwhelming the card. Beautiful!

  4. Love this and ALL the cards with this bicycle stamp/die. It’s a must-have! Can’t wait for the release! 😀

  5. Fabulous card. I love the bycycle and the stencilled background. Very excited to see the rest of this kit.

  6. Lovin the possibilities with this new kit inspiration 💞 can’t wait for the full reveal! Love how you used the stencil to ground the bike and other elements!

  7. Wonderful card! I wouldn’t have thought to use that stencil as background with the bicycle, but I love it.
