Hero Arts September My Monthly Hero Countdown, Day 1 (+GIVEAWAY!)

2 Sep

Good morning!  We’re kicking off the countdown to the Hero Arts September My Monthly Hero kit today and I’m sharing a card using the new kit!

With all my kit projects you’ll notice a prevailing theme of plum! Ha!  I adore the Hero Hues Plum cardstock and decided to use that as a foundation for all my cards with this release!  I also used matching Plum ink and my favorite brass embossing powder for an elegant combo!

And that’s it for me!  Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the September My Monthly Hero kit all weekend long!!  And then I’ll be back Tuesday 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 Tuesday, September 6th, 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!!
