I shared this colored pencil card on the Hero Arts blog this weekend:

And today I’m sharing a clean and simple card using some of the smaller kit images!

I just love that tiny intricate bird in flight and wanted to focus on him!  I started by stamping him and the sentiment onto a 4″ by 5.25″ panel of white cardstock with versafine and heat-embossed him with clear embossing powder.  I also stamped the little flower on a scrap of white cardstock.  I colored them both with copic markers and then die-cut the flower with the coordinating die.

I adhered the flower with a little foam tape and adhered the panel to an A2 panel of Periwinkle Hero Hues cardstock to finish the card!  Simple but meaningful!

And that’s it!  Head over and pick up your My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons today!

To celebrate the 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, December 8th!  You should have arrived from Janette and Laurie is your next stop!

Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy the hop!!

    I thought this kit would be well suited to colored pencils and you’ve done a remarkable example of that in the first card. Love the elegant simplicity of the second card as well!

    A single layer card with colored pencils on kraft cardstock, and it’s just gorgeous…but it was the little bird that made me say “Awwww!” out loud as I scrolled past it.
