Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Countdown, Day 2 (+GIVEAWAY)

5 Aug

Good morning!  We’re continuing the countdown to the Hero Arts August My Monthly Hero kit today and I’m sharing a card using the new premium kit!

The premium kit has a gorgeous poppy stamp set with coordinating dies and that’s what I made the focal point of my card! My California-inspired background uses elements of the classic kit!

And that’s it for me!  Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the August 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 morning, August 7th, 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!!

    Great Card. Love the little flowers near the trees. Love the angle as well, like you are walking up hill to see the view.

    I loved how you colored the grass die cut with some poppy buds in the mid-ground. I really like the unexpected pops of orange!
