Hero Arts December My Monthly Hero Countdown, Day 1 (+GIVEAWAY!)

2 Dec

Good morning!  We’re kicking off the countdown to the Hero Arts December My Monthly Hero kit today and I’m sharing a card using the GORGEOUS new kit!

The December kit is packed with fun images and a great background cling stamp that I featured in today’s card!  I smooshed reactive inks onto the cling stamp and then spritzed it a few times with shimmer spray before pressing a piece of watercolor paper onto the stamp.  Once it was dry I stamped and heat-embossed a few gold stars across the panel for a little more shimmer and sparkle.

Then I stamped a few images and a sentiment from the kit, colored them with copics, and adhered them to my watercolor panel with foam mounting tape!  To finish the card I added crystal lacquer to the helmets and parts of the planet balloons!  This card is so sparkly, I just love to see it catch the light!

And that’s it for me!  Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the December My Monthly Hero kit all weekend long!!  And then I’ll be back Monday with the full kit reveal!!

For a chance to win a kit before you can buy it, just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post. We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from all the comments left across all countdown posts. The winner will be announced first thing Monday, December 5th, before the kit launches at 10am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win!

Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

    Good morning, I have so many Hero Arts kits, well lets say I collect them more than I use them. They are so pretty. I need more Hero Arts kits. I just order one from JoAnn Fabrics. Who knew kits at JoAnn. I want them all, did I say that already. I just love this new kit. Want to see more of it.

    Fun card; love your colors. Could have used this kit a couple months ago when making a birthday card for my little neighbor; her theme was space/astronaut. I ended up making an astronaut with punches.
