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

And today I’m sharing a card using the new Premium kit!!

This was actually my first time trying out the rub-ons and they were a lot of fun (and very easy to use)!  I added a few of the rub-ons onto a panel of white cardstock and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies.  I love how it looks like I just spent hours coloring those gorgeous butterflies!  Then I die-cut the window die from black cardstock.

I blended Dandelion and Butterbar ink onto a panel of Canary cardstock fading to the natural cardstock color at the top.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the kit and heat-embossed it with black embossing powder.  Finally I adhered the window die over the blended panel and added my butterflies with a little foam mounting tape!  You could easily make lots of similar cards with the four sheets of rub-ons included in the Premium kit!

And finally I’m sharing one more card using one of the new add-on bundles: Monarch and Milkweed!

I absolutely adore monarch butterflies and fell hard for this gorgeous and unique Monarch and Milkweed set!  I love how it depicts the monarch butterfly as a caterpillar, cocoon, and emerging butterfly!  I stamped all the images onto white cardstock with copic-friendly intense-ified black ink and colored them with copics before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.

Then I blended Fresh Lawn and Green Hills ink on a panel of Kiwi cardstock and faded to the natural cardstock color at the top.  I layered my colored images across the panel and then finished the card with a sentiment from the set!  I decided to let my butterfly ‘hatch’ from the cocoon so you can see a peek of it behind the beautiful monarch!

And that’s it for me! Head over and pick up your February My Monthly Hero Classic or Premium kit and add-ons today before they sell out!
