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

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

And today, I’m sharing a bold and moody card using the June 2022 My Monthly Hero kit!

I just adore the mermaid from the kit!  She’s so fun to color in so many different ways!  I decided to stick with purples and pinks for my card and colored her with copic markers!  After I was finished coloring I die-cut her with the coordinating die.  Then I added glitter to her eyeshadow and tail for a little extra sparkle!

I created my background by blending Navy, Raspberry Jam, and Rose Madder ink onto a panel of Peony cardstock.  Then I swiped my embossing ink pad over the bottom of the panel a few times and sprinkled it with Sand embossing powder to create my sandy ground.  Finally I heat-embossed my sentiment with Gold embossing powder and adhered my mermaid with foam mounting tape!

And I used one of the add-ons with the kit to create one more card!

I started by blending Navy and Intens-ified Black ink onto a panel of Lapis cardstock keeping the darker colors around the edges of the panel.  Then I stamped, colored, and die-cut three of the sharks from Jawsome Sharks.  I adhered them in a loose circle around the blended panel and added the sentiments from the set!

And that’s it for me!  I just love this entire kit…and I can’t wait to see your mermaids!! Head over and pick up your June My Monthly Hero kit and add-ons today before it sells out!

    Wow! That mermaid tail, with those tiny sequins! It’s so pretty, and I love the contrast between the bluish hair and the pink. The sharks are so fun, and I love that beautiful goldfish, too.
