I shared this card using the My Monthly Hero kit on my blog this weekend:

And today, I’m sharing a stenciled card with the September 2021 My Monthly Hero kit!

I have a video for this card set that you can watch below or over at my YouTube channel:

IF THE VIDEO IS NOT VISIBLE PLEASE CLICK HERE TO WATCH!

To start I placed the layering stencils on a panel of canary cardstock and blended the flowers using Dandelion, Butter Bar, Caramel, and Cup O’ Joe ink.  Then I repeated the process with the leaves on a piece of kiwi cardstock using Moss and Forever Green ink.  I stamped the outline image with versafine and then heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder.

I trimmed the leaves off the yellow cardstock and then layered it on top of the green cardstock so that the leaves were visible.  I used foam mounting tape to adhere the flowers to the green cardstock.  Then I adhered it to a card base of sand cardstock and added a sentiment die-cut from gold glitter and pitch black cardstock.  Finally I finished the card with a few metallic gold sequins!

I created one more card using some of the add-ons from this month’s kit!  I started by blending Dandelion, Butterbar, Just Rust, and Pale Tomato ink on a panel of white cardstock in random patterns.  I let it dry completely and then stamped the Leaves in the Wind bold prints stamp over the panel with embossing & watermark ink and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Next I swiped my intense-ified black ink pad across the panel until it covered the panel completely.  I used a dry cloth to buff the ink off the embossed images leaving behind the pattern in yellows, oranges, and reds!  I splattered the panel with gold metallic paint and set it aside to dry.

I die-cut the Autumn Leaves fancy dies from a variety of gold and bronze glitter cardstocks and adhered them to the card base.  I finished the card with a sentiment from Autumn Messages stamped on pitch black cardstock and heat-embossed with brass embossing powder.  I adhered it to the card over a tangle of metallic gold thread for a little more sparkle!

And that’s it for me!  I just adore those beautiful sunflowers! Head over and pick up your September My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons today before it sells out!

To celebrate the kit release Hero Arts is giving away a $50 gift card as a prize to one blog reader selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop so make sure you leave a comment at each hop stop for the most chances to win!  Please comment before 11:59PM EST on Sunday, September 12th!  You should have arrived from Ilina and Libby is your next stop!
