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

January My Monthly Hero Kit by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

And today, I’m sharing a watercolored card with the February 2022 My Monthly Hero kit!

To start, I stamped the image and sentiment from the kit with embossing & watermark ink onto black watercolor paper and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder.  Then I used the watercolor dot card included in the kit and watercolored the image with the iridescent colors.  I also added a few splatters with the same gold to add a little more contrast on the black.  Finally I trimmed the watercolor panel down and adhered it to a silver glitter cardstock base.

And I used two of the add-ons to create a card with a similar feel but with different techniques!

I stamped the Moon Goddess wood block stamp onto a panel of white cardstock with intense-ified black ink.  Then I colored it with copic markers.  Next I used copic markers and colorless blender to color the galaxy background.  I loosely masked off the main image and then splattered the panel with gold metallic paint, iridescent shimmer spray, and white gouache.  Then I went over the entire image with my spectrum noir clear sparkle brush for even more sparkle.  I die-cut the Cloud Window Fancy Die from black cardstock and adhered it over my galaxy before adding a sentiment from You Sparkle.  Finally I added clear lacquer to the moon for a little extra shine!

And that’s it for me!  I just love this entire kit…it makes me feel like I’m in a dream!! Head over and pick up your February 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, January 16th!  You should have arrived from Ilina and Lydia is your next stop!

    Love all of these, Jessica!! The last one would not have to relate to dreams and is beautifully done apart from the “dream theme.” The others are super-cool and Surrealist!
